Hundreds of NYC Parents, teachers and privacy advocates are signing a petition asking @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social for a 2-year moratorium on AI in NYC classrooms. They are using children to train their for-profit learning models while datamining everyone. Sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/pl...

INVESTING IN BABY BRAINS: @errollouis.bsky.social talks @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social with @shaelsuransky.bsky.social who proposes class size reduction via 1-yr teacher trainee residencies, now NYS-funded only at $30M + benefits of professionalizing birth-through-five education ny1.com/nyc/all-boro...

THIS IS BAD: Trump “de-professionalizes” nurses, social workers + a list of careers by eliminating access to higher ed tuition/lending as part of the OBBBA bill supported by every Republican

“LOCAL CONTROL” OBLITERATED IN FL: Shocking report about charter billionaire Ken Griffin’s move to FL, giving obscene sums of $4M to House Speaker + $15M to DeSantis in a brazen quid-pro-quo to defund public schools, outspending even the FL privatization vultures: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

MYTH-BUSTING: The conservative American Enterprise Institute explains why the majority of Jewish New Yorkers support @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social while bending over backwards to avoid mentioning current events in Gaza. Democrats, look at Buttigieg, read the room! portside.org/2025-08-13/d...

SOCIAL ENGINEERING: Zuckerberg integrated his children’s school, touted “diverse” population to surrounded neighbor, picking + choosing his custom made population, all while making your kids’ school a test-prep assembly line with Gates, Bloomberg, Koch, Waltons. @badassteachersbats.bsky.social

MAJOR AI FAIL: The Philadelphia Inquirer, Chicago Sun Times and others published an AI-generated Summer Reading List that included books that don’t exist. No one caught it, no one checked even the basic facts. If this is the adults imagine what schools will face! www.instagram.com/reel/DJ4o_lh...

OPPORTUNITY GONE: The dream of becoming a doctor or dentist just DIED for anyone seeking a student loan for med school. The GOP bill now limits med school loans to $150K which is about 1/3 of the cost. Now, only the rich need apply… www.instagram.com/reel/DKFZ4O3...

TRUMP DEFUNDS SCHOOLS: Hopefully someone is building a look-up form so we can see how much Trump just illegally robbed from our local schools. But he definitely did not campaign on new powers to override Congress.

Russell Vought, who helped write Project 2025, now runs Office of Management and Budget, has been pushing this impoundment technique for the regime--a perfect fit for Trump, who famously has a history of simply refusing to pay what he owes to contractors. curmudgucation.substack.com/p/trumps-ed-...

TEST SCORE MANIA: @caylabam.bsky.social reports on a 2-3 point rise on “screener” tests, but no mention of the WEEKS of extra tests + test prep now displacing instruction time as Mayor Adams seeks reelection. My MS had over 25 days of standardized testing this yr! www.nydailynews.com/2025/07/02/n...

GOODBYE MAYORAL CONTROL? At last a candidate proposing the end of the mayoral dictatorship over NYC schools to let the people decide! Maybe @jessicagould.bsky.social should remind readers mayoral control started thanks to $4m in Albany payola from billionaire Bill Gates gothamist.com/news/mayors-...

“BACKROOM” DEAL: Wondering why the NYS budget is so late? More “horsetrading” as religious leaders push to continue funding for non-public schools that teach zero math, English, history, science, health or gym classes: spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-...

A WHODUNNIT? The reason NY schools cannot plan or hire right now? A bill with enough votes to hold up the budget but no one will publicly take credit for - giving taxpayer dollars to religious schools that teach no English, math or academics. @rweingarten.bsky.social nysfocus.com/2025/04/10/y...

CONSPIRACY TIME: Either my kids are playing a trick on me or I’m going insane. Where the F$$& are the other ones??

NOT HIDING IT: With tests looming, teachers are told to focus on kids likely to improve test scores rather than those most struggling or high-performers. Also do you know the digital platforms used for test prep are now being monitored offsite by city officials? www.chalkbeat.org/newyork/2025...

GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY? Trump admin just admitted improperly firing 25,000 workers and reinstated them. Is that efficiency? No consequences for the guy who ordered it? The law was always clearly stated and he didn’t care.

All parents should be outraged Trump is trying to take control of local schools, particularly curriculum + personnel decisions. This will force the next Dem president to do the same in kind, making it prevalent. Republicans, surrendering YOUR OWN local control to Washington DC is COMPLETELY DAFT.

UNITED SERFS OF AMERICA: As other countries limit campaign spending by billionaires, American politicians completely sell out, sucking up dark money + literally staffing the Presidential cabinet with unqualified, corrupt billionaires: www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/aus...

Interesting exclusive exposing secret fundraisers of Torres, who call Kahane the greatest Jew ever. Isn’t it fair to say THAT’S supporting terrorism, as opposed to lumping in college kids protesting bombing schools + hospitals with Hamas? Just looking for a single standard. zeteo.com/p/exclusive-...

ChatGPT is down globally and kids are freaking out.

NICKEL+DIMING YOU: @northwellhealth.bsky.social billed me for $4 more than my co-pay amount. After 20min insurer said yep, it’s an error, they will contact Northwell who must now send a revised bill. One-off mistake or systematic rip-off of all the people who didn’t bother to call and inquire?

There is a broad range of intent and meaning at these protests, from true Hamas sympathizers to religious Jews praying IDF will stop mass killing innocent civilians. We know propagandists wish to lump them all together as one, but America is better than that right? www.politico.com/news/2024/06...

ICYMI - Wisconsin public worker and teachers unions scored a major legal victory this week with a ruling that restores collective bargaining rights they lost under a 2011 anti-worker law that sparked weeks of protests. Read more here: bit.ly/3OKaAdn #UnionsForAll

DEMOCRACY HAPPENED: Leaving Mayoral Control behind, Chicago saw SIGNIFICANT turnout Nov 5 in the city’s first 10 School Board races. Though $7M was spent, overwhelmingly by school choice SuperPACs, the people spoke. In 2026, all 21 seats will be elected. @reemadamin.bsky.social t.co/Guskr1gogS

And the “definition” in the bill is also impossibly fraught as well. If WWE wrestling executive Linda McMahon leads the U.S. Dept of Ed, she will be interpreting whether slogans used on campuses meet IHRA guidelines which were not meant to be legally binding: holocaustremembrance.com/resources/wo...

Claiming a “crisis level” increase in acts of antisemitism, The U.S. Senate is now poised to vote on a bill that would ban slogans like “Free Palestine” on American campuses. But an analysis by @jewishcurrents.bsky.social found the ADL manipulated the statistics: jewishcurrents.org/examining-th...

Tilden was one billionaire donor that threatened to cut funding to Hillary’s campaign if she moderated support for charter schools. A great example how billionaires dictated Dem policy, failing to improve education for 20 years + costing many an election. www.alternet.org/2017/12/mone...

BREAKING: Trump’s senior transition lawyer says donors looking to make secret payments in exchange for Trump cabinet posts must now be kept away from the president-elect: apnews.com/article/trum... @asssociatedpress.bsky.social

Seeing so many Dems still scratching their heads “why, why, why”? The full answer is still unclear but the big factors to me appear to be: -Exponential increase in campaign spending by billionaires -Fake news/foreign interference w sophisticated targeting -Price gouging w political intent

NEBRASKA REJECTS SCHOOL CHOICE: NE voted resoundingly to end its private school voucher program, with repeal winning the Referendum 435 vote 57-43 Repeal won 35 counties >20, including +27 in Lancaster. Retain won only 11 counties, mostly northeast meatpacking communities. Source: @mac_unmapped

Every year as state test scores are released, the Empire Center has an op-ed in the NYPost looking to defund public schools. But they never disclose their billionaire donors, and they never, ever explain why they don’t support helping the kids with low scores: www.exposedbycmd.org/2024/11/20/d...

Trump could find nominees without allegations of sexual abuse but he won’t because he is drawing a line. He wants to force normie Republicans like Collins/Murkowski to approve sexual assault and compromise their integrity as a test of MAGA loyalty.

I asked a Trump voter last week if he understood how partisan gerrymandering (now legal) is the reason the Republicans have a narrow majority in the House. He said “you’re not trying hard enough if you’re not cheating”. I said thanks for the honesty.
