#USCIS is trying to increase the application fees for #immigration processes by several hundred dollars. Many folks applying do not have work permits and the application fees will be a financial burden. Please leave a comment opposing the increases here ⬇️

Why do you think they are so interested in the emails students are sending about LGBTQ clubs?

Far beyond the “ethics” of feeding existing artists’ work to a machine learning algorithm that spits out generated/ugly “art,” people should
1) understand those “fun” tools (Lensa, Dall-E) are propaganda/sanitizing tools for the AI used to, you know, aid police and military operations
2) understand that AI as an industry has been funded and pushed by researchers with financial ties to, for example, Blackrock.

addendum: the university-based research labs on AI or AI ethics are invested in the ongoing gentrification of their university towns, and happily participate in the MIC (of course) by taking that money, developing and researching tools later used to subjugate everyone. The apps that are understood as exploitative of independent artists are not simply exploitative of the illustrator online, but have been exploitative at ALL levels, across ALL dimensions, in serve of US empire and white supremacy.

Seasonal Reminder !

The #SalvationArmy is not a #charity. They are an evangelical protestant church that uses donations to oppose #LGBTQ rights.

Give them NOTHING.

If you are ever on jury duty in a United States criminal court, you can always, ALWAYS vote to acquit.

No matter what the law says and what the evidence says, you have the right to keep that person out of prison.
