“The raw material is prisoners, and industry will do what is necessary to guarantee a steady supply. For the supply of prisoners to grow, criminal justice policies must ensure a sufficient number… whether crime is rising or the incarceration is necessary”

Here’s the worst part:

Of the MILLIONS of incarcerated workers

71% of those in state prisons say they’ve been *required* to work

Only 29% choose to work for $0 to 54 cents an hour

44% of public school teachers are now quitting the profession within five years

Why? Well, in addition to having to pay for their own classroom supplies…

4 hedge fund managers make more than 120,000 kindergarten teachers combined

Meanwhile, 8 in 10 teachers in the US are white, even though white students no longer even represent the majority

Health insurance companies are using AI to automate rejections.

This is a *not* good application of #ArtificialInteligence “How algorithms are being used to deny health insurance claims in bulk” (PBS, 04/02/23)
An AI bot performed insider trading and then “lied about it”

(This is a *not* good application of #ArtificialIntelligence)

Politicians swore they’d never let robots decide which of us would die

“But missiles, guns and drones that think for themselves are already killing people in combat, and have been for years”

I spoke with @kamaufranklin, who co-founded @CommunityMvt after years with @MXGMNyc in NYC, about Cop City in Atlanta and what it means for liberation movements in the US and worldwide

“We’ve got to get to a place in our movement where we’re winning some of these struggles, but we can only have that when the lulls happen and we’re not falling apart”

@kamaufranklin on what we can learn from #StopCopCity — even if we *don’t* win

@kamaufranklin “You will catch hell if you continue to work on this project. It will be the hardest work you’ve ever done” - @kamaufranklin to the city, corporations and developers behind Cop City

Want to #StopCopCity? Here’s what *you* can do — wherever you live

Across the country, police violence cases are settled USING TAXPAYER MONEY.

#AndrewJosephIII was a beloved honor roll student and athlete.

February 7, 2014, the 14-year-old Black child was murdered

And police did nothing; he was already their *target*.

For years, the Joseph family has fought for justice — to no avail.

Today, we share their story

🧵
2/7/14 was Students Day at the Florida State Fair in Tampa.

That’s when county sheriffs targeted, harassed, searched, photographed and kidnapped #AndrewJosephIII and 98 other Black children — as young as 8

And abandoned them on the side of a busy interstate, 2 miles away
After being stranded by cops 2 miles from his ride home on 2/7/14, #AndrewJosephIII was forced to cross a busy highway

And was struck and killed by a white motorist.

The cops did not arrest or even breathalyze the driver

And they didn’t call Andrew’s frantic parents.

The person seen on video getting his head smashed in by three cops in Arkansas?

*He* is facing charges of terroristic threatening, resisting arrest, 2nd-degree battery, trespassing, aggravated assault, and possession of an instrument of crime

The perpetrators? Still employed ImageImage
