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.

The Worcester City Council spent two hours discussing 2025 crime statistics and praising the police department. See all the statistics that they won't consider.

I really need everyone who sees this to read it and internalize it. Thank you, @saulwilliams.bsky.social

We need to stop w/ this excuse. Imperialist and colonial racist maniacs don’t need Epstein files an excuse to implement a white supremacist agenda.

"Children flee classrooms as the US bombs Tehran" The US military and our government the bad guys. Now what do we do about it?

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. #mapoli www.bostonglobe.com/2026/02/24/m...

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!

Headline raises the question: what would it take to convince teenagers that learning what's being taught is more valuable than simply finishing the task asked of them?

This guy gets it.

“Human-made traumatic experiences are often more challenging to recover from. The harm comes not just from the event itself, but from the knowledge that another person deliberately chose to inflict pain or deny basic needs.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

In May we reported on the abduction by ICE of an asylum seeker in Worcester. @etelhaxhiaj.bsky.social, a city councilor at the time, was absurdly and unjustly convicted last week of assaulting a police officer that day in what she says was a politically motivated trial. We talked about it.

Thank you so much @lukeoneil47.bsky.social for shining the spotlight on this story. It is way bigger than I. My family and I continue to be grateful as we try to process what happened and how we keep fighting for the truth.

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.

Is there anyone in the community who makes more positive contributions than Etel?

REMINDER. This is Duffy’s latest victim. Donate so Tom can depose the scumbag.

I hope McGuirk and her conspirators know that one of the children, whose lives they helped shatter on May 8th is currently, again, MISSING.

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'

How the FUCK. Etel is the only public employee who was assaulted.

Assault and battery on a public employee: guilty

Meaning they got word first? From who?

I know this isn’t important RN but does anyone know the actual policy around this? RE badges and guns with/without uniforms? On duty- off duty etc?

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)

I'm at #Worcester District Court for the second day of @etelhaxhiaj.bsky.social's trial. Haxhiaj says she will be taking the stand in her own defense today.

WPD and Worcester embarrassing themselves in court today rundown-

wear your wool socks, Worcester!

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.

hmmmmmm why is the DPW always failing to do basic tasks

‼️The Human Rights Commission recommends Chair Creamer’s motion that the City establish a Civilian Review Board and initiate a formal process to do so.‼️ 👉Vote: 5-1 in favor. Fr. Jonathan Slavinskas votes against. 👉This is a great step forward and hopefully provides community momentum.

Worcester Police is trying to lock a former city councilor up for daring to protect her neighbors, her constituents, her fellow human beings Police aren't the solution For like... anything

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

Worcester can support high-quality classroom tools while also setting firm expectations that students are learners, not data sources. Our children must always come first.

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.

Massachusetts Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS) shares its database with ICE 👍 every traffic stop, citation, warning is a collaboration. Insane we let these provincial Dem yokels get away with the "we don't collaborate" line

"School district officials in Columbia Heights, Minnesota, say their sense of security is shaken and their hearts shattered after four students from the district have recently been taken by officers with Immigration and Customs Enforcement."

Wow. Wow this is ridiculous. Justice for Joe Robinson. The City of Worcester is so embarrassing. I’ll share Robinson’s letter since the article is paywalled.

Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Greenland: "We urge the United States to stop using the so-called 'China threat' as a pretext to pursue selfish interests."

Worcester invests 15 million in ICE's forced removal machine via its retirement fund 👍 a lot of never before seen city docs in this bad boy i just put up www.worcestersucks.email/p/tangled-up...
