Out of principle, the Antidote Writers Collective prepares all transcripts by hand. No love for AI here. Attentive and conscientious humans still do better work.

The FBI links all this together into something called the “black identity extremist movement,” which then gives them the opportunity to surveil whomever they put in that category.
