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."

No one is covering the threats to our democracy like the 20-person team at Democracy Docket. No venture capital, no corporate overloads, no compromises. Just pro-democracy news, information and analysis. Help support their efforts to hold power to account and keep you informed. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

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

Here is a list I recently sent to premium members of what each of us can do to stand up for democracy and defend our elections. Democracy Docket is dropping the paywall and publishing it because we must all feel the power we have to stand up to Trump and protect our democracy.

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.

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

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

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...

Excited to welcome our statewide CISC CS & Digital Learning Subcommittee for a timely & relevant learning adventure with @kshelton.bsky.social!

The AI conversation needs to move beyond the surface level platitudes, easy button, desired for automation, and over-simplification. Start asking the right and accountability questions.

Forever this!!!!!! #21CLHK

I’m telling everyone: Do not open the door or say a word unless you’re expecting someone and know exactly who it is. Know your rights. Pass these around…

And these actions barely register in the news because of the sheer volume of horrifying developments

This essay by Brandon Terry was published in 2018 and every year on this day I read it and discover something new. www.bostonreview.net/forum/brando...

Finally, I'd like to post this poem by @clintsmithiii.bsky.social: When pople say "we've made it through worse before..." "...we are not all left standing after the war has ended. Some of us have become ghosts by the time the dust has settled."

I hope everybody doesn’t have short term memory loss, cuz this definitely started with agent orange
