But AI was supposed to make everything better! Edtech is great!

oh god i had forgotten about these gems

oh jesus. not at all surprising but still so, so awful.

What a time to be alive

real top notch people in charge over there

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light

like this isn't 2012, there are no national queer rights orgs who are flush with cash. Everyone I speak with is dramatically cutting their budgets. And red state queer orgs are always fighting uphill on a shoestring budget. My challenge to you today is to google a red state queer org and donate.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

̶W̶o̶m̶e̶n̶ am i right?

Nothing scares establishment Dems more than the sight of success. The thought of voters who know they can demand more than a corporate mouthpiece is existentially terrifying to them.

a trans girl in college committed suicide days ago amid discrimination against her easily tied to this administration’s policies. npr and other media should cover that too

a trans girl in vermont was kicked off her swimming team and committed suicide and at the very same time, the discourse in d.c. today is about whether the democratic party should’ve abandoned her sooner in order to win votes a day in an american life

SNAP benefits expire in one week.

We're looking for support to get out of the U.S. and get settled in Mexico. Cis people, please donate. Trans people, please don't give unless you have big tech or family money. Everyone: Please, please share. Thank you. gofund.me/63e5f7080
