Commentary: This is not normal: Why a fake arrest photo from the White House matters

Even in an age of misinformation and disinformation - which we really need to start clearly calling propaganda - we continue to rely on old ways of knowing. We take it for granted that if we really need to get to the truth, there's a way to do it, even if it means cracking the pages of one of those ancient conveyors of wisdom, a book.

Response to 2024 summer riots failed to address root causes and links to racism, report says

The response to the 2024 riots in England and Northern Ireland failed to address its root causes and delinked the violence from racism, a thinktank has claimed. A paper by the Institute of Race Relations (IRR) reported that an obfuscation of the causes and consequences of the riots risks legitimising further far-right mobilisation and vigilante violence. It said that what happened has often been reduced to mindless thuggery or violence.

AfrofeminasGPT: A decolonial and anti-racist AI

When ChatGPT is asked to define racism, it answers, it is not just an attitude, but a power and exclusion structure across the social, economic, cultural and political. AfrofeminasGPT, on the other hand, defines it as a power structure that builds a hierarchy of human beings based on supposed racial differences, to legitimize domination, exclusion and dehumanization. It operates in language, images, bodies, laws, economics, aesthetics, and memory. And it is maintained through silence, ignorance, denial and the symbolic reproduction of stereotypes.
