- “Gen ai should exist because disabled/poor ppl can’t make art otherwise” is asking you to believe lies, not your eyes. As if poor/disabled ppl haven’t written words/made art prior to gen ai. Of course a yt leftist using dead Black scholars as a shield made this argument. That ol’ train? Never late.
- this is the question.

- So, first of all, of course it was Trump. But even if they were telling the truth, "We give staffers who post videos of the Obamas as apes access to the agenda-setting, decree-sending, market-moving account of the president of the United States" is not the exculpatory statement they think it is.

- 1. deregulate everything and destroy all regulators so nothing functions in the public interest under the pretense this "aids innovation" and "empowers entrepreneurs" 2. blame poor people and minorities when nothing works

- The Wright Museums Instagram page is HILARIOUS. Think The Office but it's the staff at a Museum for Black History. Better believe this is on my list of places to visit. Gentle Spades "I'm a veteran"

- Civil rights activist Medgar Evers was shot in the back by a Klansman in 1963. The National Park Service has removed visitor brochures from Evers' museum and reportedly plans to remove references that call his murderer a “racist"
- UPDATE: The Park Service returned the brochures to the home, hours after this report. Park Service officials told Mississippi Today that the reason they removed the brochures was because they were “outdated” mississippitoday.org/2026/02/05/v...
- Appreciate that folks lift up the Panthers. Black groups pre-dating the Panthers were also doing community patrols. See one example here: nmaahc.si.edu/object/nmaah... Joshua Clark Davis's Police Against the Movement offers some other examples too.
- Folks, the dialectic of history, it’s still going, and it’s something we love to see! www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/u...
- Will be interesting to see the posture that people take around this today. For my part, I'm glad to see that the white supremacists continue to make it clear how anti-Black and racist they are. It goes to the very top. This is what their weaponization of "woke" was always about.

- Today’s Black History Month focus: Eunice Hunton Carter. Harlem attorney. Relentless investigator. One of the first Black women prosecutors in New York. And she helped take down Lucky Luciano, years before “organized crime” was a TV genre. history.nycourts.gov/about_period...

- Fans at an All Elite Wrestling match broke out into an anti-ICE chant that briefly paused the pro-wrestling match and appeared to startle one of the wrestlers in the ring.

[Not loaded yet]- If you actually respect a person, you owe them your honest opinion and this is true especially when you disagree.

- That mask is also popular with neo-Nazi accelerationist groups, which I think is really important to mention. Just like it's important to mention that ICE agents in Denver have been dropping Ace of Spades cards where they've kidnapped people. The white nationalist culture at work is clear.
- Some US soldiers dropped Ace of Spades cards to mark kills in Vietnam. It's a move that got picked up by some white supremacist accelerationists, and now by ICE. They are dropping death cards when they disappear people and building concentration camps. We need to be very plain about the severity.
- Fucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets
- Doesn't seem like that mask law we passed is doing much considering this agent is wearing a NEO-NAZI MASK while he works
