"As Joy-Ann Reid put it in an Instagram video: “Dear retailers who’ve decided you don’t like diversity, equity, and inclusion, or you really love ICE and you have no problem with them busting into your establishments to drag people away: Here’s the thing. We ain’t buying it. I mean, for real, for real, we ain’t buyin’ it.”
She explained: “We’re gonna spend our money with businesses who actually respect our dollars, respect our communities, and respect our diversity, equity, and inclusion. We are going to buy from people who respect immigrants, who respect immigrants’ rights, and respect freedom and liberty. We are going to buy from establishments that respect our right to vote and our right to live in a free society. And if you ain’t that, we ain’t buying it.”
“Let’s show them our power,” she told listeners. “Let’s show them what we can do together.”"

Highly recommend not to identify yourself with any technology.
Doesn’t matter if it’s AI, bicycles, cars, video games, old computers, photography or Hi-Fi equipment.
If someone says something bad about it (doesn’t matter if true or not) and you feel personally attacked—take a step back and think long and hard about your feelings.
Can you be “into” something? Yes, of course. But don’t lose yourself.
