So, if the United States is in a “post-racial society” that doesn’t need Affirmative Action, why was their an explosion of hate groups when a Black President was elected? And why is right-wing media bashing Critical Race Theory and warning people about Replacement Theory?

"The whole idea behind 'the Free State of Florida' isn’t freedom. It’s exclusion. It’s the promise that Florida is a place where the in-group has achieved enough power so that it can punish and hopefully expunge the out-group.

Apple Maps now displays the boundaries of tribal nations overtop of the U.S. states. This is a really cool feature and shows info most people haven't grown up seeing on maps.

They should also consider overlaying the boundaries of federal land. This would be useful particularly for looking at the West, just for the average person to see how little land Western states actually own.

Okay, new Zoom background is sorted:

I feel like the fact that Ethel & Julius Rosenberg got the chair for far less than what Donald Trump has done should be a bigger story.

I am very concerned about the future of AI. Not because of the risk of rogue machines taking over. But because of the homogeneous, one dimensional group of men who are currently involved in advancing the technology.

We urge every member of the European Parliament to save this law - and by doing so save lives.
