Grateful to @familiesinschools.bsky.social for engaging me in this important dialogue around AI and early childhood. If we are to avoid the same mistakes we made with social media, we need robust research into AI’s effects on developing brains. Now. www.familiesinschools.org/2025/08/13/a...

I decided to throw my hat into the ring for #SXSWEDU 2026, where I'm hoping to present concrete principles for responsible use of AI in early childhood. My panel is called BORN TO BE WIRED 😉 Do me a favor and vote for it in the #PanelPicker! participate.sxsw.com/flow/sxsw/sx...

I spent most of today seeking to meet with one of the many victims of ICE raids currently jailed in Downtown LA. While @chrclla.bsky.social focuses its efforts on impact litigation, my team boosts efforts on the ground whenever possible. What I saw speaks to the crisis in LA & beyond.

Our neighborhoods are not war zones. ICE & the National Guard have no place in our communities. We stand with families, not fear. Immigrant families are NOT the enemy. FIS condemns the ICE raids in LA. We will not be silent. #NoRaids #StopTheFear #ProtectFamilies #DefendSchools #JusticeForImmigrants

Unfortunately, the special interest groups that are more interested in keeping things just as they are — with 70% of our most vulnerable children unable to read on grade level — are at it again. We need courageous legislators to choose children over the status quo! #AB1121
