I can't believe I need to have an AI policy! I made it pretty short though: Using AI is cheating, yourself mostly. In addition to the environmental blight created by AI, it makes no sense to use it in your intellectual and creative work. Why would you outsource your innate intelligence?

The New Yorker asked me “how bad” today’s Supreme Court ruling was. I boiled it down to one paragraph:

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Auschwitz — a complex of over 40 concentration and extermination camps — was not located in Nazi Germany either.

Happy Public Schools Week, Virginia! As your next Governor, I will work every single day to make sure we have the best public education system in the country.
All 3 of my daughters attend Virginia public schools, so this is personal to me.

Whether within driving distance or not, please share and spread the word. This will be held as close to the Louisiana SuperDome as folks can get given security concerns. Make. Dissent. Visible. Everywhere.

I mean, literally, the answer to this is "I am federally prohibited from telling you anything about my students without a subpoena or judicial warrant; if you have a subpoena or judicial warrant, please submit it to [Legal Officer/Office] to ensure it is in compliance with all relevant federal laws"
If you have students who are trans no you don’t. If you have students of color who may be affected by ICE no you don’t. If anyone asks you gender or racial the makeup of your class you don’t have to tell them.
Protect your class and protect your students by not complying in advance. They trust you.

1. Breaking News: Donald Trump has signed an executive order targeting trans youth and teachers in schools who teach for them.
It goes after "social transition" and threatens arrests.
I will go through line by line, as I have the last 3 nights.
Find the EO here:

Educators:
We have to steel ourselves against the urge to consume everything, everywhere, all at once. The next four years are going to be long and hard; some of us will not make it.
Protect your heart.
Protect your peace.
Protect the children.

I will never stop being mad about how the media has treated the anti-trans movement as a group of ordinary people with legitimate concerns rather than the obvious frothing bigots they are.
ABC White House correspondent just released ANOTHER anti-trans EO expected that we did not cover in our piece this morning:
A federal ban on funding to programs that acknowledge and affirm transgender people.

I haven't been on Twitter since you-know-who took it over and I tried Mastodon, which is fine. But it's nice to log on here and see so many familiar names that I haven't seen in ages!
