@rweingarten.bsky.social & @aft.org, you must end your partnership with this dangerous company. It is morally and ethically unacceptable for you to be pushing this product on students and teachers.

Rubio doesn’t come across as the biggest monster in this administration, but there’s a valid argument that he is. Demolishing USAID was a slow moving atrocity. He must never be freed of responsibility for it.

Officials discovered two industrial-scale water hookups feeding a data center campus located 20 miles south of downtown Atlanta. One water connection had been installed without the utility’s knowledge, and the other was not linked to the company’s account and therefore wasn’t being billed.

literally the first thing I saw after parking, game over

What’s so brazen is that the subhead literally spells out the travesty. It says that tech industry lobbyists have convinced congress to pay for their products to be made a compulsory part of public education so that when the industry wreaks havoc on American workers it can be blamed on educators.

The old saw is that SHs have three rights: vote, sell, and sue. All 3 are disappearing: states rush to eliminate litigation rights; all these are controlled companies; and now they're being forced into the indexes.

The ability to cast a vote (already deliberately constrained given work day, restrictions on mail, registration, lines, etc) does not democracy nor even "representation" make. A "free and fair" election is one where you can actually choose leaders who represent you & act in your name.

OUTSIDE AMAZON NYC HQ To mark May Day, NYC Amazon workers are picketing, organizing strikes, and calling for business not as usual today. They cite unsafe conditions, low wages, and AWS tech contracts providing infrastructure for ICE.

The rich people of today only have two ideas: 1. Let’s kill everyone 2. I need a bunker so after we kill everyone I can emerge from underground, spread my wings like a peacock, and continue to be rich

BREAKING: We're suing Louisiana officials for suspending the state's primary election after voting has already begun. On the heels of a Supreme Court decision that eviscerated protections for voters of color, elected officials jumped at the chance to disenfranchise people — we won't allow it.

We as a society are not yet without other means of protest, obstruction, or other peaceful paths to enact change. But it is supremely unhelpful to have a political opposition unwilling to openly discuss and work towards the primary peaceful, constitutional means of removing this admin from power.

Nixon has been outdone

The problem with having a criminal President who promotes conspiracy theories, incited an insurrection, & lies habitually about everything and is enabled by an entire political and media movement that does the same is that after a while people don't believe him and create their own narratives. #whcd

One thing that's inescapable and even Trump can no longer deny: Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium came into being _entirely_ after he abrogated the JCPOA. Up until that point, the Iranians were respecting it. Meaning this is 100% a problem he created.

I haven't heard ONE reporter ask Trump or any MAGAS about these Lego slam songs Pathetic

The Liberty Underground is a covert organization comprised of lawyers, law students, translators and other Philadelphians who will work to advise and ultimately free people abducted by I.C.E. All services will be pro bono—those who contact The Liberty Underground will never be charged for services.

The critical problem with "AI" is that we offload the human cognition portion so thoroughly that we treat a question as solved rather than connecting new dots to explore new questions. Even if the system is always right, the answer requires that we know what to question. No questioners, no answers.

If our classroom activities comprise teaching students how to use a commercial product then we are not teachers; we are salespeople.

I hear Detroit has new even bigger gas guzzling SUVs that will increase pedestrian deaths even more American manufacturing for the win

Alright, I’m home now so here’s the Norm update. Yesterday at 4pm, I got a text from a family I’ve been helping who had a loved one abducted a couple of days after Renée Good’s murder. This was the family that Norm Nation kept from being evicted (and you delivered). ICE had released their loved one.

The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling allowing Texas to MANDATE posting the 10 Commandments in school classrooms proves how debased our federal courts are. The Constitution is clear: the government cannot pick its favorite religion. The 5th Circuit votes in favor of state-sponsored religion. 1/3

HIRE KATHRYN. In an age of journalism in a death spiral, she's the real deal as investigative journalist, an excellent writer, a true thinker, and a real human being. She knows Christian nationalism as well as anyone.

"according to nine people familiar" is never a line you want in a story about you

Brilliant news!

She stood firm, good for her

Vought says that 100% of the people kicked off their health insurance from the "Big Beautiful Bill" are either here illegally (CBO says zero of them are) or are defrauding the system or shouldn't have been on in the first place. A profoundly extreme position.

Vought and Arrington lean into the OBBBA safety net cuts, calling them historic. It is true that they were historic. They were the largest cuts to Medicaid in history, three times bigger than Reagan's cuts, which shouldn't be possible. Kicks 10 million people off their insurance.

What does the Democratic Whip from Illinois, Senator from Missouri, & New Mexico Attorney General have in common? A commitment to protect our kids from Big Tech. Proud to have joined Senator Hawley & AG Raúl Torrez to demand Congress do more to shield kids from online abuse and exploitation.

This statement from Raskin on tabling an Iran impeachment vote is illustrative. None of these are actual constitutional requirements -- they are partisan political constraints that are meant to shield GOP and only GOP presidents from Nixon's fate. raskin.house.gov/2025/6/raski...

NEW: A large swath of civil society is warning Meta against rolling out a face recognition service that will predictably be used by sexual predators.

Why have no local media outlets reported on the far-right Christian Nationalist nature of Athey Creek Church and Brett Meador? We've got our own home-grown extremist group right here in Oregon, taking on the form of a MAGA megachurch.

Quite a few Oregon GOP leaders attend Brett's Athey Creek Church. There's bound to be a few of his congregants running for public office this November. If you find any, let me know.

People like Brett should be forever banned from all self-respecting businesses, from all social gatherings, and heckled everywhere he goes. His anti-social, murderous, bigoted behavior cannot be accepted or brushed under the rug.

Cal State Channel Islands philosophy lecturer Jonathan Caravello has just been ACQUITTED of assaulting ICE/CBP last summer while protesting a brutal Ventura County cannabis farm raid! His defense argued he threw a tear gas canister away to protect protesters. The jury acquitted him in two hours.

Very unimpressed by pop neurodiversity influencers and their AI apologia. More bullshit claiming that anti-AI stances are classist and ableist and racist. Meanwhile, AI is built on exploited black labor, kills disabled people every day, disposesses the working class, and drinks all our water.

President Trump has signed an executive order on mail voting. He has no lawful authority to write the rules that govern U.S. elections. He tried a year ago; we sued him, and we won. We expect the same result this time.

Exactly. In answer to the question where are the campus anti-war protests under Trump?

I am ecstatic. All three of the Moms for Liberty backed candidates lost in my local school board election tonight. Even this deep red Waukesha County, WI community doesn't like conservative politics in our schools. 🇺🇸🏫🗳

New: 150 unionized ProPublica workers are on strike TODAY over AI, layoff protections, wages, and more. They're asking readers to not visit ProPublica or engage with content on other platforms. It's the first work stoppage of its kind at the newsroom. www.theverge.com/news/908401/...

Folks have donated nearly $120,000 to Rutherford County library director Luanne James, who was fired for doing her damn job and refusing to relocate books. If you believe in what's left of freedom of speech in this country, feel free to chip in if ya can!
