I’m not a puppet Elon.. I’m a daughter of two immigrant parents that had to work their ass off to provide for me! I’m a product of welfare, I’m a product of section 8, I’m a product of poverty and I’m a product of what happens when the system is set up against you….But you don’t know nothing about that. You don’t know not one thing about the American struggle…. PS fix my algorithm
Another puppet who can’t even talk without being fed the words.
The Kamala campaign has no authenticity or true empathy.

Our story today on how Musk is funding Facebook ads impersonating Harris to outrage voters with false claims — and why Meta is ok with that, collecting $600k and counting to target the ads to swing-state voters under a fictitious name. washingtonpost.com/politics/… w/ @TrishaThadani

"Well, our reputation's taken a hit here at the Washington Post. How are we going to regain our credibility?"
"I know, let's hold an election-night watch party with a top political action committee for the crypto industry!"
"Wait that's a bad idea—"

WSJ created new X accounts with interests only in topics like crafts, sports and cooking, But they were fed a steady diet of posts that lean toward Donald Trump and that sow doubt about the integrity of the Nov. 5 election wsj.com/politics/elections/x…

I find it bizarre how much more anger I’m seeing over newspapers not being allowed to endorse a presidential candidate compared to the little anger I’ve seen abt the murder of 180 journalists, the firing of journalists, the suppression of voices on opinion pages due to Palestine

I’ve been formally notified by @USC officials that my tweets voicing outrage over Israel’s shredding of Palestinian children & other war crimes may constitute harassment of Jewish students & creation of a hostile environment for them!
Will they try to Asna Tabassum me?

As a free speech absolutist, I have absolutely no problem with Elon Musk, who I do not support, censoring material that could be harmful to Donald Trump, who I also do not support.

Tinu probably helped thousands of people at some of the most desperate moments of their lives. i keep thinking about her and Shafiqah, and about long covid and cancer and disability and racism and misogynoir killing all the people i admired and dreamt of meeting offline someday.

.@ealshafei once said that we shouldn't settle for exclusively white tech, and she wasn't talking about BigTech. And I've really been thinking about these words.
Why should we support exclusively white tech just because its not BigTech?

When people want to talk to me about something related to "AI" datasets "representing" something African or other stuff pertaining to the continent, first thing on my mind is
Did you pay any Africans?
Answer is usually no while the exploitative work is hailed as "inclusive."

It's probably foolish to think a NYC mayor will successfully translate into being a national political figure, but I still think Eric Adams would be in my top 5 for "who will be the next Democratic presidential nominee after Joe Biden?".
