  1. This fella went on a shooting spree down in Texas in wake of the US & Israeli airstrikes on Iran. The shooter killed 3 & injured a dozen or so before law enforcement laid him down. For the most part, Black folks have done a great job in minding their own bizness & staying out of these conflicts. There will be a few stray Black folks who decide to drink the Kool-Aid & ride with the BS. They do not represent the rest of us.😎

  3. Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett (46%) lost in her Senate primary bid to James Talarico (53%). Democratic nominee Talarico will have an uphill battle against whoever becomes the Republican nominee as Sen. John Cornyn & Ken Paxton head to a runoff. However, it remains to be seen if Talarico can do better than Beto O'Rourke did among voters back in 2018. A Democrat hasn't won Texas statewide Senate race since 1994. The next major political move for Rep. Crockett would be a cabinet-level position in the administration of a Democratic POTUS. Until such a time, I would imagine Rep. Crockett will continue in Congress. …

  5. Race, Technology, and Algorithmic Bias | Vision & Justice || Radcliffe Institute Artificial intelligence has become woven into the fabric of modern life. From recommendation systems and voice assistants to hiring algorithms and medical diagnostics, AI now influences how we work, communicate, and make decisions. Yet as the power and presence of AI expand, so too does awareness of one of its most complex and troubling characteristics—bias. Bias in AI is not merely a technical flaw; it is a mirror reflecting the imperfections of human society. It arises when systems trained to be “objective” inherit the prejudices, inequities, and blind spo…
