Kudos to these authors for framing their scoping review of #GenAI effects across individual, community, and system levels. There's not a lot of high-quality GenAI x misinformation research out there, but this review identifies promising future research directions. #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky

Inevitability of hallucination ?

“Militant, nationalistic, white supremacist violent extremism has increased in the United States. In fact, the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism.” The Trump DOJ scrubbed this study from their website.

"The white Christian perpetrator always retains his humanity. Even after committing heinous acts of violence, we see these white Christians depicted as human beings, not terrorist 'others.' The media describes their childhood and shows us their graduation photos, not their mug shots...."

Killing people we disagree with is wrong in every way, whether it’s Melissa Hortman or Charlie Kirk. This is especially true in a country awash with guns and run by fascists looking to amplify their already militarized policies. No thoughts and prayers. Down with fascism and up with gun control.

🧐 Hmmm which book to read first? #BookSky #Technofeudalism #Bloodinthemachine #Teachingmachines

YES. @bcmerchant.bsky.social features @olivia.science and co-authors' new paper: "an excellent resource for educators, administrators, and anyone concerned about AI...And it’s a fine arrow in the quiver for those educators already eager to stand up to AI-happy administrations or department heads."

Will Bunch on Trump's DC takeover as a prelude to dictatorship Republicans in Congress handed Trump a fortune to build up ICE, but in reality, he is creating his own personal army. He can't legally put the National Guard in blue cities, but he can put ICE there under false pretenses.

LLM companies are beta testing experimental products our children, and educators are facilitating it.

Israeli forces killed 22 people, including five journalists, in two strikes on Gaza's Nasser Hospital, drawing global condemnation and prompting a rare admission of regret from the Israeli government.

A new article in AERJ observed the relationship between school choice policy and school segregation, finding that White and Asian families disproportionately used the choice system to avoid schools with large concentrations of Black students. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.3102/...

Every time we hear about Trump deploying the National Guard, all we can think of is: “Tin soldiers and Trump is coming.”

What a banal way of describing the march toward fascism.

If we allow our flagship journals to fill with AI slop (presumably pushing out excellent or at least competent work in the process) then we are making a better case for our marginalisation than any critic ever could. open.substack.com/pub/stephenv...

OpenAI claims to be pursuing a "moonshot" in education. Today I provide a short annotated guide to what that "moonshot" entails, with nods to @mikecaulfield.bsky.social @simonwillison.net @audreywatters.bsky.social @leonfurze.com @janerosenzweig.bsky.social and especially @heymrsbond.com

Feed Gaza now. Air drop food. Send food in boats. March food across the border. Any way you can. #Gaza #Feedgaza

🚨 PSA: If you are an ICE or DHS employee and have firsthand knowledge of unreported immigration enforcement activities that you think the public should know, find a news outlet that uses @securedrop.org and send it as an anonymous, encrypted tip. Audio, video, documents all accepted.

Four Democratic members of Congress from Illinois, Jesús “Chuy” García, Danny Davis, Delia Ramirez, and Jonathan Jackson, were denied entry to an ICE facility in Broadview, just outside Chicago, despite federal policy allowing them access without prior notice.

Artificial intelligence is top of mind these days. In April, even the White House issued an executive order directing the federal government to promote integration of #AI into education & provide training for educators: go.newslit.org/AIeo We've got you covered with our NEW Teaching About AI page ⤵️

I’ll say this and then I’m gonna step back b/c 2026 IS THE ONLY NATIONAL ELECTION THAT’S IMPORTANT NOW. No Dem presidential candidate wins w/o high Black turnout & vote. So stop making it like Black voters are expendable or that you can serve up any candidate chosen by Pelosi, Clooney or MSM & win.

ICE opened their detention center in Newark WITHOUT permission from the city, and in violation of state law. Mayor Ras Baraka has been fighting to close it down. RT this to THANK Mayor Baraka!

Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker
