The red on Balogun was BS and he should be playing. FIFA’s arbitrary decision to lift his ban is on brand for a historically corrupt organization. Both are true but justice is served. The end.

Folarin Balogun will be available to play the USMNT’s round of 16 match against Belgium, with his one-game red-card ban that he received against Bosnia and Herzegovina suspended.

No, Laura. It’s not “Antifa.” It was Patriot Front, a white nationalist organization. They covered their faces because they’re cowards who don’t want to be identified. We’ve been saying for over a year that ICE officers shouldn’t be allowed to wear masks either. They are cowards also.

IMO we need philosophers in just about all aspects of business and government, but still a good article. #philosophy #AI www.nytimes.com/2026/07/05/b...

So excited about this 2nd edition; pls share widely! Theories of #reading and #literacy only come alive when approached from the standpoint of practice. Includes inset discussions from @anna-phd.bsky.social, George Hruby, Tom Crumpler, Terry Husband, and Marcelle Haddix. #EduSky #AcademicSky

What is punk? Punk is that ineffable human quality of raging through art. Which is something AI will never do. Inspiration this week from @brianphillips.lol @tressiemcphd.bsky.social @ali-alkhatib.com @gregpak.net @eryk.bsky.social, the Pope, some Cali 8th graders, and others.

“Professors and students must free themselves, and help to free each other, from the cruel…inhibitory attitudes of enslavement to external, dehumanized ‘standards,’ deëducative scholastic conventions, and depersonalizing academic machinery” -Pearl Weber (aka my Granny), 1931. #EduSky #AcademicSky

Yes. Using a computer now feels like this at all times.

📚How can educators use picturebooks to assess students’ engagement with critical literacy? 📽️ Inspired by Lucero and Sullivan’s work, this video highlights questions teachers can ask to disrupt common assumptions, identify multiple viewpoints, & unpack sociopolitical dimensions of picturebooks.

This is nicely put. The machine that subordinates all life to its own algorithm of self-expansion is already operating: It’s called capital. www.newyorker.com/science/anna...

Dr. Tisha Ortega successfully defended her diss. on PD & culturally responsive classroom displays! Intentional designing of culturally responsive displays may prompt wider pedagogical shifts.

Well done, @illinoisstate.bsky.social

🔵 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.

1/2 Why AI is unlikely to become conscious – my 2026 TED talk is now online. What do you think about the prospects for 'conscious AI'? www.ted.com/talks/anil_s...

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.

🎉 Congratulations to Raúl Alberto Mora, our newly elected LRA Vice President-Elect! 🎉 We look forward to his leadership and contributions to LRA in the coming year. Thank you to all who participated in the election—here’s to a great year ahead with our new leadership! 🌟 #LRA2026 #leadership

Update: we're collecting surveys until April 12. I'm collaborating w/ @alliethrall.bsky.social and Tony Talbert to explore why and how caregivers challenge ed-tech in their child's/children's K-12 school/s in the US. Caregivers doing this work can complete our survey at tinyurl.com/CaregiversEd...

LRA is looking for volunteers! We are looking for volunteers for LRA's Standing Committees, Award Committees, ICGs, Area Chairs. Please fill out the volunteer survey here: www.surveymonkey.com/r/VQNRSNY #Literacy #Volunteers #Committees #Education #Forthechildren
