Wachusett Regional School District gave into being trolled by Turtle Boy and right wing extremists- and my dear friend has been on “administrative leave” ever since. With no end or resolution in sight- for an innocuous post she made on her PRIVATE social media. Please sign & share.

Teachers: PLEASE do not normalize AI use with K-12 students. First and foremost, they need to know it's a tool for some bad people to exploit them, alienate them, and undermine confidence in their own thinking. Trying to be open minded, but nothing offered by pro-AI peers has convinced me otherwise.

A two-year-old car crash by a drunk-driving State Police trooper is coming to light, resulting in the trooper's suspension from the Middlesex DA's office, after a cover-up was revealed when the trooper's credibility was challenged in an unrelated case.

In order for kids to walk to school and bus stops safely tomorrow the sidewalks and street corners need to be cleared. Let’s all do our part to clear them so kids don’t walk in the street! And please slow down while driving. The snow banks make it hard to see kids trying to cross!

I was really afraid that this is what was happening in our Worcester schools, based on just the bits we’ve seen publicly. A. It is wrong to lie to children. B. This is, as I have ongoingly noted, in precise and exact opposition to our primary responsibility to students.

I've watched other city councilors, including and especially the mayor, use that condescending tone when speaking to Etel on the Council floor, but this take by the ADA was next level. They should all be taking lessons in effective leadership and true community service from Etel.

Sitting in a “Library Research” class in a WPS middle today. Presenting AI as the new best thing that “we have to learn whether we like it or not. It’s just part of life now”. I asked if the downsides of AI were going to be presented… non commitments shrug. Or was gross.

Not a single police officer was assaulted on Eureka St Meanwhile, the police collaborated with fascist scum to abduct people and used a child as bait to do so And now we've got this precedent that only aids in collaborator 'peacekeeping'

Should be repeated McGuirk gave conflicting testimony about the “shove” — most garishly in contradiction to the commonwealth’s case, she said Etel pushed off of the ICE SUV into her, knocking her off balance. The state’s case is that etel “shoved” her in the process of being “escorted” (tossed)

Yesterday we had buses arriving after 11:00AM. Mainly our small buses for our most vulnerable students. Meaning they were on those buses for HOURS. Despicable. And Worcester continues to cut the DPW budget and over inflate the WPD’s. It’s gross. Make the cops shovel.

Matt. The city manager. The Cheif and the mayor should all be publicly making it clear that all charges should be dropped against Etel and Ashley. It’s simply the only thing to do and to keep quiet and not speak out loud about this injustice is as bothersome to me as all the other injustices

Initial report is that two observers got into a shoving match with eight agents, one observer was wrestled to the ground, and then an ICE agent pulled out a sidearm and shot the man on the ground five times.
