THIS. As someone who serves on my local public school board I’m always thinking about this issue: how do we best prepare our students for a future we’ve never known?https://www.facebook.com/reel/1392710405543346/?fs=e&s=TIeQ9V&fs=e&fs=e

How women are represented in media and pop culture matters. When women are represented with depth and truth, the whole culture levels up. Every authentic story shapes how we see each other.

Google did another shitty thing. You now have to go opt out in Gmail to avoid having their AI train on your stuff.

Directions here: www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/20...
Gmail can read your emails and attachments to train its AI, unless you opt out
A new Gmail update may allow Google to use your private messages and attachments for AI training. Here's how to turn it off.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Imagine the President of the United States doing this to keep kids from having access to food in America and all for a political advantage. Er, no, don’t imagine it. It’s happening.
The Trump administration has filed an emergency request with the First Circuit Court of Appeals to block U.S. District Judge John McConnell’s order requiring it to fully fund the SNAP program using alternative funding sources by today.

I heard some old friends at Pod Save America were in town, so I decided to stop by. As we saw this week, we can change this country for the better. But it’s going to take all of us getting organized and having honest conversations about the best way forward.
