To every student and young person who stood up on university campuses against what are now officially deemed war crimes: you are heroes and your persecutors are trash.

We should all be reading this on BlueSky so join that after reading this thread. Honestly not sure what the hell @twuc is doing here but I'm not a member and probably never will be.

so the writers' union of canada wants to support the use of letting AI be trained on our writing now that writers are being offered royalties. this is unacceptable and humiliating. AI is exploitative and writers should have a fucking backbone in preventing their own obsolescence

Hours ago, AOC voted for a resolution designed to conflate criticism of Israel and Zionism, on one hand, with anti-Semitism on the other. No one believes your act anymore, @AOC. You're on the side of the genocidaires.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@AOC

Thank you @SenSanders for leading this effort to block further offensive weapons to the Israeli government and to every one of these 18 Senators for affirming that the United States must uphold its own laws and commitments to international human rights.

i hold extremist political views such as "people should have their basic needs met" and "war crimes are bad" and "we should not accelerate the apocalypse for the profits of a few oil companies"

you can say no. you can say, this is not enough. you can say, I don't care that AI is everywhere, that there are those that think it is inevitable. it isn't. you are bankrupting the future, you are bankrupting my students and peers, when you should be fighting. I get it now

AI has already used marginalized writers' works, so that big publishers, staffed by countless wh*te people, can use us? I am shaking that this is okay for the union. that this racial injustice is okay, too

I'm the one on the ground teaching students who are frequently stunted by their reliance on AI, who lack literacy, who could look to us published writers for leadership and guidance and still be taught the value of protecting our own voices

we should be taking these AI owners to court for our works that have already been used, not making it okay to take more under some 'acceptable' use. you don't get it, do you? what AI will be taught from our work will be more than what we can monetize and 'fairly' compensate

AI is being shoved into everything. sure. but acting like we have no choice but to let it, and that we should take our dues and our royalties for it, is defeatist and morally unjust to be okay with it. first publishing gatekeeps us, and now only the published get the reparations

take your land acknowledgements out of your website if you don't mean them. I am ashamed to be a member of an organization that will tell us writers are underpaid and then turn around and throw us under the bus because there's 'no use' fighting environmentally exploitative tech

@twuc should be ashamed. we should not be accepted short-term scraps in favour of lasting, long-term harm. forget how AI systems use water as a coolant for these machines, in a country where water is stolen and controlled, and how this is environmentally devastating

Cornell just became the first university of the spring semester to suspend a student for pro-Palestine organizing. They’re intentionally targeting an international student & one of the most visible advocates for divestment on our campus—the Cornell community won’t tolerate this.
Momodou ✊🏿@MomodouTaal

There is targeted campaign of intimidation and harassment against me from Cornell’s administration and police. I have been suspended again. I had no chance to dispute the charges, nor see the evidence or appeal. They informed me that I am effectively being deported by the weekend

innocence cannot be our metric for determining who is and is not worthy of life, of living. guilt & innocence is a binary that folds under the weight of this nation’s history and cruelty. your innocence is always conditional
