Former FBI agent Dan Brunner: From what we saw, the suspect wasn’t even close to breaching security. He still would have had to go down two flights of stairs and get through additional secured doors. He didn’t even reach the magnetometers before being stopped.

Happy Earth Day! Walt Kelly’s iconic strip celebrating Earth Day appeared on April 22, 1971. His message has only become more relevant, and urgent, in the years that followed.

BREAKING: A jury has found Live Nation and Ticketmaster to be an illegal monopoly that overcharges fans. After the federal government settled the case, 34 states kept pursuing the giant ticket and concert company. Now, the states have won.

“It’s difficult to cover him in a way that conveys how unhinged he is. Journalists are trained to be like, ‘OK, what did he say that was newsworthy?’ So you convey that to your audience. But in reality, when you actually watch, you see he's full of hatred, lying constantly, and very incoherent.”

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

🚨 Epstein survivors release this powerful PSA in advance of the Super Bowl demanding answers from the Justice Department. This is the Super Bowl ad every American should see. Spread it everywhere.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Or maybe, just maybe, students are done with playing the busy work games. Educators are not being supported in how to redesign assignments. Over reliance on these detectors does more to create adversarial dynamics in a classroom than anything else.

The Empire State Building is shining in red, black and green tonight in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Lots of things I could say about this report. While I’m either in agreement or can factual confirm most of it, I’m also in a state of unsurprised since I co-authored a book with @deelanier.bsky.social analyzing many of the “findings” outlined. But some folks will go on about innovation…

Just days into 2026, the killing of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has sparked protests around the US. If you’re planning to protest, here’s how to safeguard your digital security.

When you get the reputation of being the guy with the encouraging words on New Year's Eve, it can start to come through as a little pressure -- what if the situation on the ground is worse than usual? what if people are more scared than they usually are, and with cause? what use are good vibes then?

There is a viable solution to this but it won’t happen via altruism or the “good nature” of the folks making these decisions.

I insist that you read it. GIFT LINK www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/w...

Trump's FCC yesterday voted to kill a program that provided free Wi-Fi to rural school kids at no cost to taxpayers, falsely claiming the program was "illegal" and was being used to "censor Conservative ideology."

Too soon? 🤣🤣🤣

Building community takes more than a 5-minute icebreaker. @kshelton.bsky.social explains how to shift toward facilitating genuine connections during meetings and workshops. 🤝 #SchoolLeaders #EduSky

they want fascist "AI"

Everyone in America needs to read this FREE—I’ve gifted it below—report from the conservative WALL STREET JOURNAL about Trump and Epstein. Apparently the president has now threatened to sue the WSJ over this 100% accurate report due to how damaging it is.

We just opened our first Concentration Camp in Florida

"The bottom line is that Trump and DOGE made drastic cuts to the NWS and the NOAA. Retired federal scientists warned the cuts could hamstring forecasts and make extreme weather events less predictable and more dangerous."

Now using this in my media literacy workshops. This is what happens when you lack any journalistic integrity, go off hearsay and interpretation, while also going on a rant on topics you know very little about beyond opinion. I’m referenced along with two others yet none of us were sought for comment

I’m so greatful to @carynlewis.bsky.social Leadership and her inclusion to represent the CS and DL subcommittee and to assist @kshelton.bsky.social in supporting leaders in California to develop thei AI literacy skills. CS is foundational to AI more than ever. #CALMSCS #CSTAEquityFellows #CSforCA

So excited to hear from @kshelton.bsky.social this morning at COSN #CTOClinic

Maybe this take is unpopular for a reason 🤔

Meanwhile that ridiculous EO on AI (or should we call it A1) in education will amplify the worst things we know AI can do. I’ve watched how many and which educators received that EO with fanfare and celebration.

As shared by a close friend: Of course the word “equity” doesn’t appear. This administration treats “equity” like it’s an acronym for something subversive — like DEI, or CRT, or any other term that suggests justice might require redistribution. So they bury it under the language of uplift.

The Promises and Perils of AI in Education (2024): de @kshelton.bsky.social i @deelanier.bsky.social. Aquest llibre va acompanyat d'un "companion book" amb propostes pràctiques per treballar el primer llibre. Podeu llegir el seu article al blog Ditch That Textbook: ditchthattextbook.com/ai-perils/

RIP government-funded research and the future advances they would have given us…

Always a pleasure to hear @kshelton.bsky.social when he speaks. #CoSN2025

I’m at #CoSN2025 this week and I’m already loving it. The women in technology summit was amazing and now I’m listening to @kshelton.bsky.social lead a packed workshop. I’m presenting Wednesday in the AI Playground. The theme this year is Human Leadership in a World of AI. 👏🏽 #Edusky #EduskyAI

Honored to represent the CISC CS & DL with @carynlewis.bsky.social, Rod Garcia, and amazing @kshelton.bsky.social , who delivered his Leading in the Age of AI presentation to CISC participants. CS is crucial in the age of AI. #CSforCA #CALMSCS #CSTAEquityFellows @csteachersorg.bsky.social

My fellow Americans, we officially hit a new low today. Thanks to felon Trump’s all out assault on democracy, we are now on a civil rights loss warning list with the Democratic Republic of Congo, Italy, Pakistan & Serbia. Nonviolent civil resistance is a must! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Wonderful session with our CISC Computer Science & Digital Learning leaders across the state! Thank you @kshelton.bsky.social for the deep dive into The Promises and Perils of AI in Education. Ready for our next adventure! @rudstemcs.bsky.social @edcamposjr.bsky.social @katgoyette.bsky.social

There is power in community! A huge thank you to @carynlewis.bsky.social for bringing us all together and to @kshelton.bsky.social for an incredible, interactive session that challenged us to ask the tough questions about AI. #CISC2025 #CALMSCS #cstaequityfellows
