I've updated my document that tackles four of the common arguments used to encourage teachers to use AI.

I hope this will be helpful to those educators wanting to push back on AI mania.

A visual representation of GOP and Democrat budgets.

Each cup = $50 billion, and each color represents something different. A way to see how the federal government is spending and who it benefits.

Now, which budget/policy benefits ALL Americans?

Here’s a throwback from 2019 where Stephen Cobert and Oscar the Grouch sing together.

It’s a song of hope and it still applies today. 🥰

Have a fantastic Saturday beautiful Democrats. 💙

ICE raids are leaving fields full of rotting food in California.
Even the documented workers are not showing up.

And guess what? You’ll still want your strawberries then you’ll pay more for imported ones.

This isn’t border security.
It’s cruel economic sabotage, dressed up as patriotism.

Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

What's happened since?

A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.
Criminalizing pregnancy: A record number of women were prosecuted the year after Dobbs
They were targeted for substance use, miscarriages, and stillbirths, largely driven by fetal personhood laws.

The Bove allegations should be treated as something akin to Watergate, or Iran Contra. The administration was attempting to do something they *knew* was illegal (anticipating the courts saying as much), and then trying to COVER IT UP. Only here instead of it being run out of the WH or NSC, it’s DOJ

It's been so weird to watch a president learn things in real time when fielding a question from the press. Then, whatever word or concept he learns, he uses in the next few social media posts. It's like when a 3rd grader learns a new fact about dinosaurs.

Donald Trump was *humiliated* yesterday. Make no mistake, a man with such a brittle ego will lash out at innocent people to pretend he controls the narrative. He doesn't. We do.

Look what I found when I searched "ICE uniform" in Google Shopping.

None of us have any way of knowing if the "ICE agent" pushing you into a car, isn't just some unbalanced vigilante into cosplay. These are very dangerous times.

When Tim Walz became Kamala Harris's running mate, progressives highlighted policies passed. It could not have been possible without Melissa Hortman.

I am devastated by the loss of Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in a horrifying act of violence. Our prayers are with their children and all who loved them, and with State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, who were also targeted.

Taco McFuckHead’s ICE GOON SQUAD roughed up a AMERICAN woman who is 9 months pregnant. They shoved her and put her in handcuffs, then threw her in the back of a police car. They were wearing masks. She had to go to the hospital for abdominal pains. This happened in Hawthorne, California.💔

Video of Sen Padilla's removal is quickly spreading online

Prominent Dems & lawmakers are posting video

In one video of the exchange, Padilla can be heard identifying himself as he's manhandled

Later, he's handcuffed on the floor after being shoved out of the press conference

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference.

But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.
