🚨 The Secret Origins of Robin DiAngelo's White "Anti-Racist" Cult You've heard that it's impossible to be racist against white people. That all white people are inherently racist. That the only solution is to "do the work." Where did this all come from? You might know of Critical Race Theory, but there's another source for these ideas you've never heard about. I undertook an unprecedented investigation into the origins of these ideas, pulling documents and microfilms from university special collections and sending people into "anti-racism" workshops with hidden cameras. Here's a summary: • Stokely Carmichael, the Marxist-Leninist founder of the Black Power movement, kicked all the white people out of his organization and told them to "educate other white people" in his views. • Robert Terry, a white man, developed his philosophy of "New White Consciousness" based on Carmichael's views, explaining "we have met the enemy, and they are us." • After the Detroit riots of 1967, Michigan Governor George Romney engages in "riot insurance" by funding racially militant projects. • White K-12 educators receive this funding and teach New White Consciousness. One of these teachers, Alan Hurwitz, gets addicted to crack and becomes a famed serial bank robber. Another, Patricia Bidol, invents to "Power Prejudice" definition of "racism." • These educators train with the NTL Institute, an organization founded by U.S. intelligence's former director of the "psychological warfare center for the Far East." There they learn psychologically manipulative education techniques that allow them to “form ideology for other people.” • The National Education Association, America's largest teachers union, trains teachers in these ideas nationwide. • Judith Katz, author of the infamous Smithsonian “Aspects & Assumptions of Whiteness” infographic, refines the techniques of "anti-racism" training and drastically increases their popularity. • Robin DiAngelo plagiarizes her predecessors' ideas wholesale, while citing none of them. All of this and so much more is exposed in my new book Redefining Racism, released TODAY. Learn more from the video below. Follow the link in the next tweet to read it for yourself. 🔽

Trump today:
Trump: "If it weren't for the United States of America, Israel would not exist right now. Every smart person in Israel knows that." No lies detected because Israel's entire existence is propped up by US taxpayer dollars, diplomatic cover, and military hardware x.com/clashreport/status/206…

🤩 I don’t know what’s gotten into him, but I love it.
Trump is reportedly considering dismissing several senior officials who opposed the Iran deal, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and CIA Director John Ratcliffe. A senior U.S. official reportedly said, “The argument has been settled. Those who opposed it may pay a personal price.” Source: Israel Hayom

Wow. The best thing I have seen from Trump in well over a year. If he keeps this up, he can win me back.
This part… damn… damn damn. “Israel doesn’t have to KNOCK DOWN an apartment house everytime you’re looking for somebody, because they’re a lot of people in those apartment houses, and they’re NOT all Hezbollah that can tell you.“ rumble.com/v7bde6a-trump-cri…

Yes. Now that we’ve agreed, will you keep up your end and actually support letting the Palestinians return? You won’t because you’re a fraud who is just looking for an excuse to hold a position you know isn’t fair or equitable.
Palestinians want a right of return to pre-1948 homes. Surely they want it to be fair and equitable, right? Well then, let's discuss the uncomfortable truth about equality that they never seem to want to discuss. The 850,000 Jews who were expelled or fled from Arab countries after 1948 should also be granted that identical right. That means full restitution of their homes, synagogues, businesses, and the $100 billion in seized assets across Iraq, Egypt, Yemen, Libya, Syria, Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, and elsewhere. They should be free to return, reclaim their properties, receive guarantees of security, and have the option to rent them out if they prefer to stay in Israel. Sounds perfectly fair, doesn't it?

These arguments about Jewish right of return to Tunisia and Morocco crumble when one notices that Jews who emigrated to Israel can return to Tunisia and Morocco any time they wish. Some actually have!

STATEMENT: Late last week, the federal government imposed export controls on Anthropic’s Fable 5 and Mythos 5 artificial intelligence models, citing national security concerns. The government action reportedly bans Anthropic from allowing foreign governments, foreign companies, and foreign individuals from using these systems. The directive, which reportedly came in the form of a letter from Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick to Anthropic, is still not public. In response, Anthropic shut down access to these systems for all users, regardless of nationality or location. The government’s demand that Anthropic effectively shut down its models to comply with the export controls threatens core First Amendment rights. Artificial intelligence models are expressive tools, and their creation and use fall within the First Amendment’s protection. Mythos and Fable — the company’s cutting-edge tools made publicly available only last week — reflect deliberate expressive choices by Anthropic about how to train and weight these models, and what guardrails to create and maintain. Once in a user’s hands, this technology provides the ability to gather, create, and share information. Like any tool, AI has both lawful and unlawful applications. But the government has offered no public explanation as to why export controls were justified. By demanding Anthropic eliminate access solely for foreign users — a functional impossibility, per the company — the government is exercising the kind of “kill switch” on artificial intelligence we have seen repressive regimes abroad use on the internet. By leaving the public in the dark as to the specific threat identified and the statutory authority invoked to address it, the government’s dramatic action functions as an arbitrary abuse of power. The export controls serve as a prior restraint or a licensing system, requiring Anthropic to receive government approval as a condition of operating expressive systems. If left unchecked, the administration’s assertion of control would allow it to censor models that contradict the government's preferred views or punish developers who oppose the administration. And other AI companies and users are now forced to grapple with uncertainty regarding what they may develop, deploy, and engage with without crossing the administration’s invisible line. The administration’s action follows President Trump making plain his hostility to Anthropic, calling it a “radical left, woke” company, a stance shared by members of his cabinet. Last March, the administration deemed Anthropic insufficiently "patriotic" over model guardrails it disagreed with — ultimately designating it a "supply chain risk," again citing national security grounds. But simply invoking national security does not immunize government officials from their constitutional obligations or give them carte blanche to punish speech. Heavy-handed, arbitrary, behind-the-scenes governmental bullying is anathema to our free society, in any form. And its unacceptability is at its apex when directed to an endeavor that is inherently expressive, as is the creation and use of tools like Fable and Mythos.
The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

A lot of women (naturally incl. transmen) think men are constantly repressing their emotions to be “manly”, & only allowing themselves to feel emotions such as anger or lust. But most men simply aren’t experiencing emotions that require repression (except for anger & lust).
Trans actress Elliot Page explains how she feels ‘healthy masculinity.’ “Healthy masculinity to me is…like leaning away from whenever there is some sort of impulse or expectation you’ve put on yourself to like shut down.”

I get that Anthropic is a very unlikable company, but they're still the good guys. The people trying to ban math are the bad guys. There is no way out but through.
I’ve had a number of conversations with folks inside and outside government about the current situation with Anthropic, and here is what I believe to be true: — As we know, Anthropic publicly released its Mythos class models earlier this week under the commercial name Fable. — Fable is Mythos with guardrails. But if those guardrails fail, then you’ve exposed Mythos and its advanced cyber capabilities to people who shouldn’t have them. (Keep in mind that Anthropic itself widely promoted the idea that Mythos was a cyberweapon and needed to be regulated as such. They asked for government regulation of Mythos and championed the guardrails on Fable. If there is a vulnerability — big or small — it is Anthropic’s responsibility to patch.) — A highly credible trusted partner of both Anthropic and the USG who was testing Fable came forward with a jailbreak of those guardrails. The Admin asked Dario to fix the jailbreak or de-deploy the model. Dario refused. — In their blog post, Anthropic defended its decision by saying the jailbreak isn’t serious. That is not what the trusted partner and the USG believe; nor is that kind of minimizing language consistent with Anthropic’s brand as the AI safety company. It’s difficult to fathom how they could claim a jailbreak allowing operability of a cyber weapon could be defined as not “serious.” — In the past, Anthropic has always said that safety must be top priority and taken super seriously. In this case, Anthropic prioritized the continued offering of the consumer model over safety. — In reaction, the Admin issued the export control. The Admin did this reluctantly. It’s been very surprised that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to cooperate with a reasonable safety request (ie fixing the jailbreak issue). Anthropic’s reaction is very much at odds with their branding and ethos as a safe AI research community. — The Admin’s hope now is that Anthropic remediates the safety issue, the export control is lifted, and Fable goes back into general release. The Admin wants all of this to happen as soon as possible. It is frankly bewildered that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to comply with safety requests that it previously said were its highest priority. — Those trying to misdirect and tie this action to the prior DoW/Anthropic issues are wrong. The Admin values Anthropic’s technical capabilities and feels that this issue, while serious, should be easily resolved. The ball is in Anthropic’s court.

1) The '2,000 years ago I was Middle Eastern' thing remains ridiculous. You won't admit that for obvious reasons, but it's why you will lose the propaganda war. 2) While nobody doubts an ancient presence of people who practiced Judaism in Palestine, there is also no doubt of over a millenium of Arab presence on the land. 3) Palestinians have far more descent from ancient Jewish (non-Arab) populations than nearly all Jews.
Since time immemorial, the State of Palestine existed as a utopia in which Jews, Christians, and Muslims lived in peace and harmony. Then, in 1948, a group of Polish gentile invaders arrived, started calling themselves Jewish, magically learned Hebrew all at the same time, kicked millions of peaceful innocent Palestinian Citizens out of their homes, and announced the State of Israel. They proceeded to destroy all archaeological proof of ancient Palestinian life and planted fake archaeology to trick the world into thinking that there's a connection between Palestine and Judaism. They traveled back in time, printed fake maps, and put "Land of Israel" and "Judea" on those maps. They even went so far as to build a Temple Mount underneath Al-Aqsa Mosque. The chutzpah!

The most advanced AI is now "too dangerous" for the public to use. Too dangerous for independent scientists. For small labs. For you. But safe for government and its approved partners. The same government that funded gain-of-function research and hid it. 🧵

So we should treat the government, the institution our founders led a revolution in order to restrain, as gods instead? We should let them have unilateral control over AI? The power of AI belongs in the hands of the people. Our founders demanded actual guns remain in the hands of the people to defend against authoritarianism. Surely they would not have stood for this.

I think it's a mix of both. I'm pro tech, but honestly these guys need to be reminded that they are not gods.

There are towns in Israel named after Jews who put bombs in markets. Next argument.
There are streets in Ramallah named after suicide bombers and your objection is that Israel has checkpoints?

$500 per vote. That’s what the Israeli lobby spent to beat me, and they still couldn’t do it with factual ads, or even fake ads based on policy. They ran with personal lies and AI videos to convince elderly voters I was sleeping with Ilhan Omar and AOC at the same time.

Hot take: this might be the beginning of the end for any proposed/supposed/assumed/asserted US AI superiority. A non-negligible number of people working on high end AI models in the big three are foreign nationals. And if Mythos and Fable 5 are natsec risks, then everything

Chinese companies put out their frontier models as open source software their government could not shut down if it wanted to. Our government just did shut down our latest frontier model, crippling AI progress. Today at least, you are less free in America than communist China.

Because this is happening to Anthropic, the temptation for many will be to say: Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. They have relentlessly raised the regulatory temperature in Washington by inviting far-reaching controls of frontier models. They made this bed and now they have to lay in it. But this decision by the Trump administration should not be judged on a desire for payback politics, but on the merits, and specifically what it means for America's broader AI objectives. In that regard, this action is truly outrageous. How exactly is the government planning on even going about verifying everyone who uses this specific model to ensure compliance? That alone raises huge flags. Between the latest Executive Order shifting more control to NSA, and the recent chatter about quasi-nationalization / equity stakes, and now this action, we are talking about a significant escalation in the politicization of AI and centralization of control over advanced computation in this country. And this is all being done by an administration that had previously made acceleration and winning the great AI race a priority. We're moving backwards now.

A short history of how we got here, because the chronology is the whole story. January: the Pentagon demands unrestricted use of Claude for autonomous weapons and domestic surveillance. Anthropic says no. February: the President orders every federal agency to drop Anthropic. The Defense Secretary bans Pentagon contractors from doing business with them. A rival announces its classified-network deal within hours. March: the Pentagon designates an American company a "supply chain risk" under a statute written for foreign adversaries. A federal judge blocks it. May: the Pentagon signs AI deals with seven companies. Anthropic is not one of them. June 9: Anthropic releases Fable 5. June 12: Commerce issues an export control directive over a jailbreak that, by the government's own account, was demonstrated verbally, came with no written explanation, and involves a capability you can get from other publicly available models today. Two things are true at once. First: Anthropic spent months marketing Mythos as too dangerous to release. Sam Altman said it was "incredible marketing to say we have built a bomb." The Commerce Department has now formally agreed it is a bomb. If you describe your product as a munition in every press release, eventually a government takes you at your word. They wrote the legal predicate themselves and called it a brand. Second: we have run this experiment before. In the 90s the government classified encryption as a munition under ITAR. Activists defeated it by printing PGP's source code as a book, because books are protected speech and floppy disks were arms exports. A t-shirt with three lines of RSA Perl was legally a munition. The controls collapsed because math does not stop at customs. The new wrinkle is the "deemed export" rule: showing controlled technology to a foreign national inside the US counts as exporting it abroad. Which is why Anthropic's own foreign-national employees are now locked out of the model they built. The munition is in the building and the people who made it are not allowed to look at it. The jailbreak is the paperwork. The refusal was in January.
