What is Donald Trump's plan for AI? @brianmerchant read his Action Plan and executive orders and watched his speech. Here's what he learned. "Broadly speaking, the plan is that the Trump administration will help Silicon Valley put the pedal down on AI, delivering customers, data centers and power, as long as it operates in accordance with Trump’s ideological frameworks; i.e., as long as the AI is anti-woke," Merchant writes for his Blood in the Machine newsletter. "It’s above all a blueprint for consolidated control, a vision where worker power withers, citizens become subservient to AI; to its corporate masters and federal overseers, where fossil fuels are ushered again into prominence at the height of the climate crisis, and democracy is sidelined in favor of automation technologies. It is, in summary, pretty grim!"

Thanks to Trump, the United States will soon lose its dominance in science and technology. Some American researchers have already left because of funding cuts and attacks on universities.

@realcaseyrollins@social.teci.worldI wish I remembered why I dislike him, I think he was cozy with the #Infowars people. Love his work in fighting #DEI in court though.

"The relationship between DEI and Affirmative action is that none of them were designed specifically to redress the historic legal racial inequality legislated by government. All these other groups were not specifically targeted by name in laws denying them rights as humans in the United States. But because so many civil rights leaders just wanted a seat at the table instead of a table of their own, they never fought for anything but symbolic progress. All of these things were created as you said to make America look good internationally, in addition to foreign policy moves like the Marshall Plan and bail out of China by Nixon. This includes the economic ties with developing countries like India, Singapore and so forth to give the illusion that the USA and capitalism is good for humanity and everybody can get ahead. But the reality is that African Americans have NOT gotten ahead and they are still powerless and not in control of their own existence by deliberate and intentional policies. So in a sense the civil rights movement was simply to pacify the upheavals in the USA and pay off a bunch of educated folks with token jobs and illusion of class mobility and not much else. Keep in mind that because these policies were created voluntarily, there is no specific standards that must be met in terms of helping specifically African Americans. Not to mention "Affirmative Action" as created by Harvard has absolutely nothing to do with historic educational inequality primarily in mandatory primary and secondary education (kindergarten thru high school) as seen in Brown vs Board. Along with that you got white women being the biggest beneficiaries of all these programs, which just shows how it was never intended to address the causes of the civil rights movement itself. And today, the USA gets to pretend to have amnesia about the horrors of racial injustice in an explicitly black and white society prior to 1965."

Target (the US company) is continuing to struggle and I think it’s fabulous that this can be directly attributed to their #DEI stance. That plus the #tariffs that are tanking most companies right now has them looking at a bleak sales outlook this quarter.
The reason this has me so happy is twofold. First, this shows that enough people stopped buying from Target that it affected their earnings. Second, it shows that no one new moved in to bolster their business. So the #maga bigots who I’m guessing already shopped there, they’re nowhere near the numbers they might need to stay afloat. Translation: there’s way more of us then there are of them and us refusing to shop at Target is leaving a lasting impression.
I hope the staff caught in the middle of this are able to get new jobs at companies with strong DEI policies and Target continues to struggle. Maybe they can ask Costco why they’re doing so well right now…
Mark your calendars! This is my org’s biggest fundraiser of the year, happening this Sunday. We use funds from this #ceramics sale to support Black ceramic artists globally in the form of an Annual Award. Since 2021, we’ve distributed over $30k toward the goals of professional support, community building and cultural preservation. We are 100% #grassroots funded and rely on individual donations, so #DEI cuts cannot affect us. Check out last year’s awardees: www.kaaboclay.org

The New RepublicCarney has also removed the communities portfolio from the Minister of Housing and Infrastructure. We must also fight for communities to be given a voice, especially when it comes to housing. We don't need more suburbs that are built without parks, schools or even stores.

Global News has the full cabinet list: https://globalnews.ca/news/11177116/canada-mark-carney-cabinet-swearing-in/. Due to public pressure we got Carney to restore to cabinet portfolios of Women and Gender Equality and Official Languages. Carney has also create Secretaries of State for Small Business and Children and Youth, but these secretaries will not attend cabinet meetings.
This is a win, but we must continue to fight for children, youth, and disabled people to be given a full voice at the cabinet table.
