Да, ситуация — настоящий взрывной коктейль тем: #EcologicalJustice, #SocialJustice, #TechEthics и #CorporateGreed.
Вот краткий **обзор и разбор** (по состоянию на 03:44 PM EEST, Sunday, June 01, 2025):
### Что стряслось?
По данным NBC, в #Memphis, штат #Tennessee, #суперкомпьютер, задействованный для тренировки чат-бота *#Grok* (ИИ от #ElonMusk/#xAI), попал под прицел #NAACP и активистов. Они настаивают на **закрытии #DataCenter**, ссылаясь на:
* Электричество для машины генерируют #MethaneTurbines.
* Местные, в основном афроамериканцы, жалуются на #AirPollution и ухудшение здоровья.
* Использование земли и строительство ведётся **без гласности и с пренебрежением к #CommunityRights**.

### Кто такой #Grok?
*#Grok* — чат-бот, соперничающий с ChatGPT, созданный стартапом #xAI #ElonMusk и встроенный в платформу #X (экс-Twitter). Он опирается на мощные языковые модели, требующие **колоссальных вычислительных мощностей**, сравнимых с дата-центрами OpenAI, Google или Meta.

### В чём суть разборок?
Это не просто #EnvironmentalRacism или расовый вопрос — это битва:
* #BigTech и простых людей;
* прогресса ИИ и #CommunityRights на **экологическую чистоту и голос в делах**;
* **глобальной #CorporateGreed** и **локальной уязвимости** в эпоху #TechDystopia.
---
### Почему это стоит внимания?
* Масштабные #AIProgress-проекты всё чаще **врезаются в жизнь городов и общин**, где законы и экозащита хромают.
* Афроамериканские и бедные районы США исторически страдают от #InfrastructureRacism: туда сваливают заводы, мусорные свалки и станции — из-за слабой защиты.
* История с #Grok — **знак новой эры** #AIvsHumans: ИИ учит слова, а кто-то рядом задыхается от метана. #PostIrony #GonzoJournalism

#RESIST! #NAACP Sues #DepartmentOfEducation Over #DEI Rollbacks: Here's What To Know
The nation's oldest #CivilRights group says the Trump administration’s rollback of diversity and inclusion programs is unconstitutional and disproportionately harms #BlackStudents.
April 19, 2025
"The NAACP is suing the U.S. Department of Education over recent efforts to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs in schools. In a federal complaint filed in Washington, D.C., the organization alleges that the Department of Education’s recent directives are unconstitutional and discriminatory—particularly for Black students.
"The complaint faults the administration for targeting programs that offer '#truthful, #inclusive curricula,' as well as policies that expand access to selective educational opportunities for #BlackAmericans and foster belonging while addressing #racism in schools.
"The NAACP argues that the Department’s recent actions 'advance a misinterpretation' of federal civil rights laws and Supreme Court precedent—actions that, according to the group, violate its members’ rights to equal protection and to be free from viewpoint discrimination under the #USConstitution.
"NAACP President Derrick Johnson criticized the move, stating that the administration is 'effectively sanctioning' the very discrimination that U.S. civil rights laws were designed to prevent
" 'The Department of Education, tasked with a responsibility to protect the civil rights of all children, has instead claimed #SystemicRacism doesn’t exist — effectively sanctioning the very discrimination that our civil rights laws were designed to prevent while children of color consistently attend #segregated, chronically underfunded schools where they receive less educational opportunities and more discipline,' said Johnson."

States defying #Trump anti-#DEI deadline risk losing education federal funding
The #NAACP and the Legal Defense Fund have filed "a federal lawsuit blasting the Trump administration for a 'legally flawed' interpretation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964."
Story by Mabinty Quarshie, Washington Examiner, April 22, 2025
Excerpt: "In total, at least 16 states and Puerto Rico intend to sign the certification, according to Education Weekly, while 16 states have declined to sign.
"Many of the states that have flat out refused to sign the order by citing their commitment to DEI policies are led by Democratic governors.
"Among those states are New York, the first state to publicly thumb its nose at the certification request, Colorado, Washington, Minnesota, Oregon, Wisconsin, Vermont, and Utah, with the latter two states having Republican governors.
[...]
"In Fiscal Year 2022, federal funding accounted for 14% of K-12 education funding. State and local funding provided 87% of K-12 funding.
"In fiscal 2024, the Department of Education spent $18.8 billion for schools with large numbers of #poor, neglected, delinquent, and other '#EducationallyDisadvantaged' students, as well as $55 billion in COVID-19 grants to #PreK programs, elementary, and secondary schools, according to Pew Research Center.
"Should the Department of Education strip states of federal funding, it could force cuts during the 2025-2026 school year."

Progress seems to be some sort of dance.
Two steps forward, one step back.Once, there were signs in places that read, "Whites only!" or "Blacks & Mexicans Not Allowed"
Now, we have signs that read, "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone, for any reason."There is no accountability for discrimination now. An establishment can systematically deny service to any demographic they choose, without being charged with discrimination. To put together a case for discrimination, would require a large data set, that would include the name of the establishment, and the demographics of the person denied service. Then, you would have to prove that there was a strong enough statistical correlation to make the case for discrimination. Then there would be drawn out legal battles, and the courts favor the rich. A class action lawsuit against an establishment that discriminates illegally, would be very hard to put together.
We may be running on a treadmill, with the lure of money (the carrots) dangled to tempt us, the fear of poverty (the stick) threatening us, and token illusions of progress to keep us motivated.
Maybe we need to change tactics, and step off the treadmill.
When no temptation and no fear can dissuade us from seeking equal rights and justice, that will be progress.#FediLaw #Justice #EqualRights #EqualRightsAmendment #SocialJustice #Discrimination #Business #Law #Democracy #HumanRights #NAACP

#AmnestyInternationalUSA Urges No Vote on #HR9495
November 12, 2024
"#Amnesty International USA warns that language in H.R. 9495 poses an alarming threat to the work of U.S. civil society organizations who document #HumanRights abuses around the world and urges members of Congress to vote against it.
"If enacted, this legislation would grant the Secretary of the Treasury broad discretionary powers to terminate the tax-exempt status of nonprofit organizations based solely on a subjective declaration that they are 'terrorist supporting organizations.'
"'In any other context, this legislation would be seen for what it is, a play from the #authoritarian leader’s playbook,' said Paul O’Brien, Executive Director at Amnesty International USA.
"The broad and vague authority to terminate non-profit status in the name of 'counterterrorism' is a practice that many governments have used to target civil society organizations. There are no safeguards to prevent H.R. 9495’s broad authority from being misused to harass or intimidate organizations for exercising their rights.
"The bill includes no due process for organizations deemed to be supporting 'terrorist' groups. The Secretary of the Treasury can use 'classified information' to make these designations without permitting nonprofits to review or challenge such evidence in federal courts. The loss of tax-exempt status similarly has no due process guarantees and would inflict economic harm and legally burden nonprofit organizations.
"Amnesty International USA joins more than 100 #CivilSociety groups, including #ACLU, #BrennanCenter, #PublicCitizen, #AFT, #NEA, #LCV, #CAP, #Indivisible, #NAACP, #ReproductiveFreedomForAll, and #NationalWomensLawCenter to oppose this legislation.
"'This bill, if it becomes the law, would not require officials to explain the reason for designating a group, nor does it require any evidence,' continued O’Brien. 'Members of Congress must recognize the danger posed and vote down this bill that could shrink civic space and silence civil society organizations.'"

From 2022: #Redistricting In #NewMexico Has Systematically Diluted The Voice Of #NativeAmerican #Voters
#FarmingtonNewMexico has a well-documented history of #discrimination and violence against Native residents, and #VoteSuppression is part of the continued struggle.
by Aidan Graybill
Mar 24, 2022"In 1974 three #Navajo men — Herman #DodgeBenally, #JohnEarlHarvey, and #DavidIgnacio — were brutally murdered on the outskirts of Farmington, New Mexico by three white teenagers.
"In response to the murders, many advocacy organizations — including the University of New Mexico #KivaClub, the American Indian Movement (#AIM), and the #NAACP — mobilized in Farmington. The high schoolers responsible for the murders were sentenced to a few years at the state reformatory after closed-door proceedings. Many in the Farmington community felt this punishment wasn’t sufficient and multiple marches and protests ensued.
"Following a march in May 1974, a list of demands was presented to the Farmington mayor which addressed, “basic community problems affecting Indians, and calls for increased responsiveness by elected officials to these needs.
"While the clash between Navajos and whites in the community continued to rage, the city administration held open sessions and discussions for everyone in the community — Navajos shared their sweeping and ubiquitous experiences of discrimination.
"Whether it was high school students excluded from extracurricular activities, blue-collar workers harassed by their white employers, or individuals who were refused service at restaurants, the common themes of bigotry and racism riddled their everyday lives.
[...]
"Thirty years later, the New Mexico State Advisory Committee to the United States Commission on #CivilRights issued a follow-up report on civil rights for #NativeAmericans in Farmington. Then-president of #Shiprock Chapter, Duane Yazzie, noted that there was progress and improvement in the general social climate for Navajo people in Farmington:
"'Yes, there continues to be periodic problems but, for the most part, the efforts of the public servants, including law enforcement, the courts, the business community, and the major employers in the regions, there has been considerable advancement.'
"However, the same report also included other testimony explaining that there had actually been little progress since the 1970s, considering the lack of Native American representation in positions of civic leadership:
"'You’ve asked if change — you asked if change has happened since the early 1970s? Consider that question by looking at the numbers. Each community’s pillars are those that are elected as well as those that serve in the government structure.
"'If one looks at those positions in the local government, you will find very few, if any, Native Americans. It doesn’t matter if you look at the county, the city, or even local institutions. You will still find very few Native Americans in high-level, decision-making positions.
"'After 30 years, you would think the local governments would have made great progress in this area.'"
