Did you know that Section 4 of the 14th Amendment (a Reconstruction Amendment) bars payments to insurrectionists? Sherrilyn Ifill @sifill.bsky.social of @the14thcenter.bsky.social offers an urgent, reader-friendly, legal & history lesson ⬇️ 🧵 sherrilyn.substack.com/p/trumps-ins...

🔵 Un equipo de científicos del Institut de Química Avançada de Catalunya ha innovado en la lucha contra el cáncer de mama, utilizando luz para activar medicamentos que eliminan células madre tumorales resistentes. Un avance que plantea nuevas esperanzas para la oncología. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Spread the word: "The Luddite Lab Resource Hub provides resources for unions, labor organizations, and worker-organizers fighting AI and automation at work. The lab provides strategies for worker-led governance and oversight of new technology through case studies, primers, and a resource library."

A new project educators can use to teach the many ways AI resistance takes shape: "Now people around the world are mobilizing to resist the empires of AI and to nourish visions of the future that work for all of us. Amid an onslaught of negative news, this project centers hope."

Will there be an option within Gmail to tell Gemini to fuck off?

Ooh, more Enshittification! Just what we’re all asking for 🙄

Wrote about the college kids booing AI, and how, in a moment rife with economic precarity, affordability crises, and collapsing job prospects, AI has become a new avatar of American capitalism

I think education researchers considering applying for these funds must be clear-eyed about Anthropic and the company's decision to partner with Elon Musk's xAI for its compute power at Colossus 1, the same Colossus 1 that's deepening environmental racism by poisoning the air in Memphis, Tennessee.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Gotta say, having been in the initial convening on which this framework was to be based, these recs feel way out of step with the serious concerns folks were voicing about AI's commercial capture of education, teacher deskilling, short-circuiting of reading/writing processes, environmental costs.

Is it 'deep-SEATED resentment' or 'deep-SEEDED resentment'? 'Deep-seated' means "firmly established," and is the term you want to use. We do recognize that some gardeners might have some 'deep-seeded' resentment on occasion.

Decided that this is a core issue with the @ncte.org guidance on AI in the classroom. Mollick's co-intelligence needs to be unpacked in the context of learning for younger students. His book does not consider this frame at all and to accept it as a way to evaluate AI use in schools is a mistake.

What I wish for everybody to remember when Canvas comes back online: The reason OUR data can be held for ransom is because Instructure, their owners (KKR private equity & Dragoneer venture capital), & our own employers (see ASU Atomic) monetize it. It's Canvas that hacked education & stole our IP.

Eugenics. The word you’re looking for - and isn’t spoken in the story - is eugenics.

That would be bad if that ever happened.

oh hell yes

This is brilliant! “…the waterstuff bulkbit bestands of two waterstuff unclefts, the sourstuff bulkbit of two sourstuff unclefts, and so on. (Some kinds, such as sunstuff, keep alone; others, such as iron, cling together in ices when in the fast standing; and there are yet more yokeways.)” 😂

❓ What happens when teacher education moves into multilingual communities? 👉 Inspired by Min-Seok Choi and Jungmin Lee’s study, this graphic shows how preservice teachers learn from families, rethink literacy, and challenge monolingual assumptions through community-based experiences.

I would like to talk more about how ICE shot someone else yesterday and he is in critical condition! The coverage is really horrifying because DHS is giving a similar story to the one they gave about Renee Good and so much news coverage is just buying it. Please talk about Carlos Mendoza Hernandez.

Strong recommendation to teaching faculty to just say no to this stuff, even if you are AI curious/enthusiastic. This is meant to reduce faculty autonomy and capture human labor with automation. You're selling out your future self and the profession as a whole. www.insidehighered.com/news/tech-in...

“This is not about rejecting technology. It is about rejecting the idea that we have no choice but to fund a company that’s bankrolling authoritarianism”

The main difference between an educator and a columnist who dabbles in education writing is that the educator looks at exam scores as useful but really quite tentative, context-specific data points, while the columnist thinks they're looking at standings in a sports league

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

These kids should be going to school. Playing with their friends. Eating dinner with their families. Detaining them is cruel and inhumane.

Oooh, look what I just found in the new @tcpress.bsky.social catalog! A lot has happened in the field of literacy research and teaching in the 10 years since my first edition. So excited to get this second edition out!
