Join NFHA & @warren.senate.gov in sounding the alarm on the Trump Admin's plan to gut the law that gave women access to credit without the need of a male co-signer. This Admin is trying to set us back generations. We only have until 12/15 to act. Make your voice heard: bit.ly/4pwy1aD.

Trump just signed his dangerous, and most likely illegal, executive order to stop states from protecting you from the downsides of AI. Here's why I am fighting back:

A video of the incident published by the Sahan Journal shows a federal agent putting Mubashir in a headlock while handcuffed, bringing him to his knees in the snow, and forcefully placing him in the back of a vehicle before driving off.
ICE tackled a US citizen in the snow. He says he was targeted for being Somali.

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.”

We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words.

Um, duh. Do your own homework if you want to learn. It seems like a no brainer to me.
From the same paper: people using a *search engine* demonstrated "approximately 34-48% lower total connectivity
across the brain". Brain connectivity is a good measure of... brain connectivity.
“When participants used ChatGPT to draft essays, brain scans revealed a 47% drop in neural connectivity across regions associated with memory, language, & critical reasoning.

Their brains worked less, but they felt just as engaged—a kind of metacognitive mirage.”🧪
