It's no coincidence that the Fairshake crypto super PAC has timed its press release announcing they have $140 million ready for the midterms as Congress is considering three crypto bills during "Crypto Week". Pass our bills, or we will spend millions against you in the midterms.

Speaking as a high school teacher with 20+ years of experience, we continue to be unprepared to deal with the deluge of white supremacist hate our students are being exposed. And now we want to partner with the latest bigotry firehose? Not in my classroom.
Also, today's news about Grok posting antisemitic filth shows how vulnerable these "services" are to manipulation by their owners. If educators partner with these companies, what protection do they have from a billionaire deciding to tweak the systems to push hatred and filth?
None.
Just say no.
None.
