New reporting has exposed the ways in which the Trump campaign used targeted digital ads to intentionally and methodically deter Black Americans from voting. This is twenty-first century voter suppression and must be countered. #DeterringDemocracy
channel4.com/news/revealed-…
Netflix's 'The Social Dilemma' made clear the frightening power that social media and its tech overseers have on our lives. Now we see that same power wielded to suppress Black turnout. It’s old-fashioned voter suppression with shiny new tools.
The Trump team disproportionately marked Black Americans for “Deterrence” and fed them ads designed to keep them home from the polls. Some 3.5 millions Black Americans were marked as “Deterrence.” Remember that only tens of thousands of votes handed Trump the Electoral College.
Some numbers from the report: In Georgia, where Black people constituted 32% of the population, they made up 61% of the ‘Deterrence’ category. For Wisconsin, those numbers were 5.4% and 17%.

How did we go from a racial reckoning to bans on Black studies? How did @CollegeBoard go from introducing an AP African American Studies (APAAS) course to appeasing authoritarians who seek to prevent the transmission of knowledge?

A thread. 🧵⬇️ 1/
August 2022: 60 high schools across the US offer a pilot course in APAAS, which @CollegeBoard began developing during the “racial reckoning” of 2020 as anti-racist protests swept the nation following the murder of George Floyd. 2/

.@gocjhunt discussing the title of his film, The Neutral Ground. No, it's not about some mythical political neutrality. (Reviewers— that's a clear indicator you didn't watch the film!)
