The Emancipation of Keke(@keshawnrants) 's Twitter Profile Photo

Morning all, please retweet as I'm raising funds ($600) for a Black queer Jamaican who is disabled, unemployed, and struggling with current hospital bills due to a stroke he experienced a year ago.

Halal carts are fascinating to me because it's literally just chicken and rice?? (Or Falafel and rice) but Halal is now a 'category' and I'm like.....it just means permissible???? THAT IS WHAT HALAL FOOD IS 🤧

New Yorkers are lining up at 83rd and 2nd to buy chicken over rice to support Mohamed Hussein, the street vendor who was harassed by Islamaphobic former US State Department official Stuart Seldowitz. You gotta love this city ❤️

Like many, I really really wanted to believe the Stop Zionist Hate account was on our side, but it's become abundantly clear from stuff people already shared as well as this extremely disturbing Space that it is run by & for white nationalists. Make sure to unfollow & disengage

For me the most scary thing to see in the OpenAI saga, was how so many workers acted in obedience and conformism signing and tweeting like cult members and not like highly intelligent independent thinkers, it gives me a quite dark perspective on Altman and OpenAI.

'What If Sam Altman Were A Black Woman? Tech Twitter Weighs In On The OpenAI Debacle'

I mean the dude who fired me was waxing poetic about the 'small research community' and empathy for his colleagues and stuff so we know the answer.

Sam Altman returning as CEO, the board that raised red flags dumped in favor of one that contains *Larry Summers*, has borne this out entirely.

The last shred of fiction that OpenAI is anything other than a standard-issue Silicon Valley co in relentless pursuit of profit is gone

Many people have said over and over that Palestine is the litmus test for those of us in the US. And seeing my colleagues equivocating, man isn’t that as clear as day.

I met numerous people with similar underlying racism/dehumanisation to Stuart Seldowitz during my time in US government & before that when I was a young translator in Iraq & GTMO.

Bear with me as I offer some thoughts as to why that is and what should be done to address it🧵

The essay, “The Ongoing Nakba,” would have been the first from a Palestinian scholar published by the Harvard Law Review. The decision to pull it from publication is “unprecedented”.. my latest The Intercept theintercept.com/2023/11/21/har…
