AI & screens are reshaping childhood & classrooms faster than most schools can keep up. Without strong guardrails, there are real risks to learning, privacy, well-being & human connection. That’s why I’m calling for a better balance: devices down, eyes up, hands-on. bsky.app/profile/aft....

Corporations spend more than $1.5 billion a year on union-busting. That’s $1.5 billion they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety. Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions.

I’m not a detective, but I see some clues that there’s a connection between the Trump admin’s laissez-faire approach to addressing the harms of technology and the tech titans who are funding the president’s ballroom, presidential library and PACs. www.cbsnews.com/video/teache...

“Honey, they’re hitting us.” 💔 That’s what a woman says her husband told her from inside Delaney Hall. She says detainees were beaten, gassed, and injured. Now she says they’re cleaning up the blood. Every elected official should be at Delaney Hall demanding answers RIGHT NOW. #SheShed

MAGA HEADS ARE GOING TO EXPLODE 🤯 🚨 A new Cato study found immigrants reduced US deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994. Not increased. Reduced. Even undocumented immigrants were estimated to have reduced deficits by at least $1.7 trillion.

Eid Mubarak

Eid Mubarak to all who celebrate!

This Mother’s Day we celebrate farm worker mothers. These hard working moms toil long hours and set incredible examples for their kids. Your gift can help them fight for justice in the fields every day - including Mother’s Day. act.seiu.org/a/mothersday... #WeFeedYou #MothersDay

Why Did Howard Lutnick Suddenly Changes Entire Story About His Epstein Ties. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #Trump #EpsteinFiles #POTUS newrepublic.com/post/210034/...

It was only a matter of time. Mexico is run by drug cartels but no advisory for them. Lol. Laughing stock of the world.

could you look any guiltier than Lutnick does here?

To everyone still demanding the full release of the Epstein files and refusing to look away: I see you. ✊🏼🔥 The survivors. The citizen journalists. The whistleblowers. The researchers. The people still paying attention while the world tries to move on. You’re my people. 🖤

MAGA, heads up! #USDemocracy

Oh, so you mean the US Government has been lying to us about the cost of the war and the "total victory", etc.? Who would have guessed. 🙄

Happy Cinco de Mayo. Let us each welcome the cultures and celebrations of all, and understand it is our diversity which makes us human and gives us hope and a path forward.

happy bday Danish philosopher/writer Søren Kierkegaard, b.1813. “There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn't true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.” “The most common form of despair is not being who you are.”

Mark Zuckerberg built a massive data center in Georgia just hundreds of yards from people’s homes. Now the water pressure is gone. Sinks don’t run. Toilets won’t refill. Homes shake nonstop. Power outages are routine.

"..the predator-class in one frame: a venal Supreme Court protects itself, a billionaire-&-spook network goes back to the 1953 Irani coup, a current war enriches Saudi royals, Kushner’s Affinity Fund, Lutnick, and the *right* billionaires with no-bid defense contracts" www.blueamp.co/p/cheaters-s...

happy bday Spanish poet Vicente Aleixandre, b.1898, won Nobel Prize Lit 1977. “You are the calling of lovers, the signals that silently appeal to one another in the dark. Sky with rubbed out stars, you give yourself, like a warm field, to these noiseless wings.”

Today in 1777 was the midnight ride of Sybil Ludington. At age 16, at night, she rode 40 miles to warn American colonial forces to the approach of British forces. Let us not forget the forgotten heroes in American history.

The WH seeks to cut the #NIH budget. The number of competitive grants awarded has been reduced by half. These include grants for cancer & Alzheimer's research. Early career scientists have been affected the most. The number of grants mentioning "women" declined in 2025. archive.today/re1lc

So, first the Trump DOJ diverts law enforcement resources away from monitoring white supremacist extremism. And then targets one of the organizations most committed to monitoring the white extremist threat. Message received. Loud and clear.

Y'all are savage...

Ya Think!?

happy bday labor leader Dolores Huerta, b.1930, Dawson, NM. "Every moment is an organizing opportunity, every person a potential activist, every minute a chance to change the world". "Sí, se puede" (Yes, we can) “We need to keep ringing the bell, wake people up to get our democracy together."

A man with no official title, no confirmed role, and no public accountability allegedly walked into DHS and started running a pay-to-play scheme with BILLION-dollar contracts. His name is Corey Lewandowski. Multiple companies say they were pressured to pay him or risk losing government contracts.🧵

Israel now occupies more of Lebanon than Russia occupies of Ukraine. But of course that's a 'good' invasion. So there is silence.

That's quite the sign:
