I'm seeing a lot of Gemini Certified Educators in my social media feeds. This is a good time to think critically about Gemini, how it is developed, and how it could impact (possibly harm) K-12 education. Be careful what you attach your name to.

Kirk didn't serve in the military or hold office. The war hero treatment -- half-mast flags, military guard, Air Force Two escort, calls for a statue at the Capitol or to lie in the Rotunda -- shows that for MAGA, service to Trump has become the highest, most honorable form of service.

Namecheap and Squarespace are enabling a website that far-right extremists are using to target people they feel have said the wrong things about Charlie Kirk’s death.

I’m officially scared.
Because of this ONE tweet being afraid of potential reverberations of right wing political violence from this — something many others have said — I’m now the first result on a website called “charliesmurderers.”
This is putting me in genuine danger.
What the fuck do I do

Everyone like this needs to be hounded out of the Democratic Party. These are people who genuinely believe a permanent Trump/GOP trifecta is a better outcome than policy being slightly left of their preferences. They are a major reason why millions of people who agree with Dems don't bother to vote.
