Bug on the leaf of advertising that you can't shake off. Globe explorer nurtured in Pacific NW. Founder of Woman of Wonder, a 501(c)(3) providing college scholarships to single moms.
Wondered if AI had fact-checked u-know-who. Found this: AI discredited all Trump claims, fact-checked him w/ "startling accuracy & objective rigor." #tariffs #cryptocurrency #conflictofinterest #media insights.som.yale.edu/insights/wha...
What Happened When Five AI Models Fact-Checked Trump
President Donald Trump is an AI booster, write Yale SOM’s Jeffrey Sonnenfeld and co-authors Stephen Henriques and Steven Tian. So they thought it was fair to ask the leading chatbots to evaluate some ...

Interesting that 20% of the NO Kings protestors were college graduates. I've been telling people higher education teaches critical thinking skills, something we seem to be lacking in today's marketplace. #criticalthinking #collegeeducation
New YouGov poll say 8% of America participated in NO Kings. Media massively undercounts protests. Local media used an early Portland Police estimate for Portland of 40,000. Organizers of the downtown event said 65,000, and dozens of events were held elsewhere in the city and surrounding metro area.

Yup. That's me.
She turned a $200 barrier into a 501(c)(3). As a single mom, she saw college as a way to secure her daughter’s future. Now, her nonprofit helps women overcome financial hurdles to attend college. Every gift empowers a woman to say, “I am Woman Wonder.”

Friends came on crutches and wheelchairs to our mini #nokings protest. We waved from the overpass like crazy at cars traveling north on I-5. My arms might hurt

@parkroseperma.bsky.social Just saw how the wheels are turning to make it harder for women -- married women -- to vote, I guess their husband's vote is enough www.npr.org/2025/04/13/g...
Will the SAVE Act make it harder for married women to vote? We ask legal experts
Legal experts say states could help married women who have changed their last names by accepting documents like a legal decree or a marriage certificate, but it might not fix the issue for all.

Are you married, did you change your last name? May need to change it back if you want to vote . . . www.npr.org/2025/04/13/g...

I believe in confusion
Every Democratic Representative should be rushing to support Representative Salazar, a Fla Republican

It's the right thing to do and it Floods The Zone with confusion. And shows Dems doing the right thing in a red district. @aoc.bsky.social @repjasmine.bsky.social

I know many who fund journalism by selling ads for their companies. Those sales also pay for attorneys to fight for public knowledge. Advertise NOW in your local newspaper, they likely have a PHENOMENAL website with fair rates. #protectionforjournalists #journalism #journalists #advertiselocal
Amid the frenzy of the lame duck, a bipartisan group is quietly making a longshot, eleventh-hour attempt to pass federal protections for journalists and other critics before Trump and his famously thin-skinned coterie take over. Here's my scoop: talkingpointsmemo.com/news/raskin-...
