Really, really agree with this piece from Huffpo. We don't have to accept the aura of AI inevitability. We can, and should, refuse to engage with it in our classrooms (and elsewhere, but especially in the classroom!)

Chicago: Did you know that police departments in the Chicago area coordinate on Slack? Now that I know it's accessible to public records requests, request away: Their server is called CHI-INTEL and requests should be sent to the department that runs it, the Cook County Sheriff. Send away!

1. Trump's Anti-Trans HHS Report authors have been unmasked, and as someone said, "Now we know why they were previously kept anonymous." It's a who's who of hate groups and billionaire-funded anti-trans activists. We detail the names in our latest report. Subscribe to support our journalism.

lmao, i saw that turkey prices are up 40% due to feed additive tariffs and all canned goods up by 5% due to aluminum tariffs so Walmart cut the number of products from 21 to 15 this year and a single store's promotion is not a good measure anyway www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/p...

That John Roberts was more concerned with nuisance lawsuits against the president than he was with whatever this is will haunt this country for a long time

So I would say in general when a headline like this happens things would not be going well

So proud of my colleagues @fightforthefuture.org and the massive coalition of local folks that made this happen www.mercurynews.com/2025/11/19/o...

REPUBLICANS: “How dare you call us Nazis?!” ALSO REPUBLICANS: “The swastika needs to make a comeback.”

“so Karoline, if one of us calls you piggy, is that ok? Are we just being frank and honest in that case?”

These numbers are good but I'm hoping we can do even better with "American Canto".

Yesterday, the CDC changed a webpage to lie about vaccines and autism. Vaccines are an important part of public health. HHS Secretary RFK Jr. and Acting CDC Director Jim O’Neill cannot be trusted to tell the truth. They must be removed from office immediately. autisticadvocacy.org/2025/11/kenn...

Now that’s a lede. Story by @taracopp.bsky.social and @michelleboorstein.bsky.social. Read here: www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Broadly speaking the fact that a Chris Van Hollen, who is a liberal that's hyper critical of the American patronage of both Israel and the UAE, is an exception to US institutional liberalism rather than the rule is a big part of the problem as to why we are here.

This @pemalevy.bsky.social / @ariberman.bsky.social joint effort on John Roberts is a must-read. "The Roberts court has spent Trump’s second term not applying the law so much as clearing it out of his way." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Incredible scenes here, Mr. Gilleran. Incredible scenes.

Opponents to student loan debt forgiveness SWORE TO GOD that the “Big Beautiful Bill” capping how much in student loans people can borrow would force the colleges to lower tuition. The University of California is joining MANY schools in HIKING TUITION b/c of federal cuts to education & student aid

I could fix him. (Compost)

coast guard personnel stationed in virginia should know that it's still a felony here to display a swastika or a noose in a public place with the intent to intimidate someone, but i guess once you're out to sea it's fair game to signal genocidal intent towards your shipmates???

Why does @gene4va.bsky.social keep voting for horrible Trump bills that take away DC home? If you are his constituent, perhaps you could call his office and ask?

the cook county board of commissioners have approved a $10 billion budget for the 2026 fiscal year, which starts 12/1. it doesn't include new taxes/fees—but both the sheriff's and state's attorney's offices got sizable increases despite calls from advocates to freeze law enforcement spending:

Sounds about reich

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

The Cook County State's Attorney must investigate and, if appropriate file charges against the federal agents involved in this shooting

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.

The billionaire philanthropist MacKenzie Scott is funneling tens of millions of dollars into tribal higher education, months after the Trump administration sought to cut one of the system’s most essential funding sources.

Well well well. This is going to be interesting (by which I mean, a fact pattern on a Professional Responsibility final exam by time this is all done and over).

Apparently RFK Jr. promised Senator Bill Cassidy that he wouldn’t remove the statement “Vaccines do not cause autism” from the CDC website. So what RFK Jr. did instead is spit in his face by leaving the statement there and adding this:

Notice that the goon kneels to re-package his baton RIGHT in front of the driver. There's no awareness there and these agents don't feel any kind of afraid.

For decades, scholars have argued education’s hidden curriculum is about disciplining and socializing children as future workers, and they just….tweeted it out

In a joint statement, House Democratic leaders said they have contacted the House Sergeant at Arms and the U.S. Capitol Police to ensure the safety of the six Democrats and their families because of Trump's messages.

:(

I’m howling.

Oh

Feels like it was a mistake for him to repeatedly say he was going to lower prices on day one. The lessons seem to be that voters will blame the incumbent for prices and that the opposition *doesn't need to actually have a plan to address prices* for this to be an albatross.

All the greatest hits have returned Measles Tarrifs Nazis This shit

Centering on Gaza, we talk about the nature of not knowing, of the inexpressible, and the ways certain poems can give us the strength, energy, and commitment to persist in working for the liberation of all peoples, even when dwelling in grief. #FreePalestine.

*that signals Trump's desire to ban state AI laws

Not the point of @gelliottmorris.com piece, but look at this divide among Republicans on social issues. Half of them look like normal people and the other half are way out of step with the rest of the country. There’s a bit of a mirror on the left but much smaller.

Our campaign looked like the city we’re fighting for: bold, joyful, and rooted in the streets. From bodegas to yellow cabs, we drew from the art forms created by working-class New Yorkers.
