ICE violence is fueled by misogyny and white nationalism

Faculty did not ask for this. The chancellor did this while claiming austerity and collecting a million dollars in salary and benefits. While TAMU is closing women's and gender studies programs out of pointed cruelty, the CSU is doing the same out of willful starving of resources and layoffs.

The CSU/OpenAI contract is set to expire June 30, 2026. Sign this petition: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/cancel-chatgpt-edu-invest-in-humans/ for the CSU NOT to renew the contract and to use the savings to protect jobs at CSU campuses facing layoffs.

The California State University system spent $16.9 million last year giving ChatGPT to all students, faculty, and staff. We are asking the CSU chancellor not to renew the contract with OpenAI when it expires. Anyone can sign the petition — link below!

Again, we don't have an Opposition Party, not even close; these people are a dangerous fucking joke, the lowest bar possible. We have a room full of people who are "colleagues" with fascists & do the bare minimum to lie to enough people to get reelected. But the fascists will come for them, too.

Never made sense that the while Democrats were warning us that Trump would deploy DHS as his private storm troopers, they were passing bills that raised DHS funding to record levels.

Forced face scanning of a U.S. citizen with zero cause, just bald racial profiling. This is tech fascism.

Mubashir and his family came to the United States as refugees from Ethiopia when he was a child, and they all became naturalized citizens in 2019. Despite being a U.S. citizen, Mubashir was targeted by ICE, assaulted, and detained. Listen to his story:

Went back and actually read the article. This headline is misleading at best, and at worst, it’s a lie.

that’s right

DHS has a long track record of violence and retaliation - it cannot be reformed. abolition now.

The Trump administration is seeking to deport two men who provided accounts of the Jan. 3 death of Geraldo Lunas Campos at a Texas detention camp that differed from the Department of Homeland Security’s description of the incident.

It’s 2026 and generative AI is still at the center of the tech conversation — for better or worse. In light of that, this week we’re replaying a great interview with @karenhao.bsky.social about OpenAI and the model of AI development pushed by Sam Altman. Full ep: techwontsave.us/episode/310_...

there’s plenty of internet for all of us, there’s literally no need for more data centers

🗣️BIG NEWS: Take Back Tech III is coming in April 2026! 👏🏾 With Big Tech companies pouring billions into data centers that destroy our communities + planet and making millions in government contracts to fuel mass deportations, we MUST fight back.
