      "The US [that was built on commerce dependent on enslaved ppl] wouldn't do that" is how we end up here... bc an active practice of ignoring racism as the very fabric of this country does not make it go away - it makes it harder for people to recognize and understand it.

      Elon Musk, the Silicon Valley oligarchs and their AI are taking over. I want to do all I can to push back. I hope you'll join me, and I'm asking for your support.
