Bravo to Sen. Alsobrooks for her question. “We should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule as Whites because their immune system is better than ours.” — RFK Jr This is the deadlier version of the racist myth that Black people feel less pain, leading to denied pain meds.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

You cannot claim to be eco-conscious and concerned about climate change and promote the use of AI. The two are antithetical.

I’m an English teacher who’s taught futuristic dystopian fiction for decades. It’s horrifying that we can now study it as non-fiction in real time.

Quite the indictment of AI products: they are more appealing to people who don't understand how they work and see them as magical The paper concludes: "businesses may benefit from targeting those with lower AI literacy" and "maintaining an aura of magic around AI" ✨ tinyurl.com/ynefd8zk

We, the daughters and sons of Tuskegee Airmen will continue to teach their important role in our collective history. Trump's "order" is racist trash. 🗑️My dad was an Airman and I'll be damned if they erase him and his fellows.

We warned that Trump was going to purge nonpartisan civil servants and install loyalists, because he told us he would. His own Agenda 47 explicitly said he would do this. Project 2025 laid out the framework and has been training loyalist replacements. This is the first phase of that 👇🏾

One thing Newsom should do right now is a statewide rent freeze. They did it during lockdown, they can do it again. And yes, statewide, because every landlord within 200 miles of LA is eagerly waiting for fire refugees to move into their area.

The Eaton fires destroyed a youth care facility my friend worked at. They had no time to pack, and everything is lost. Please help support them if you can. These children and teen were ALREADY vulnerable before the fires. www.gofundme.com/f/provide-ai...

Large language models have near-zero utility when it comes to helping students develop as writers. I say this because of what I value in the writing experience: thinking, feeling, human exchange and communication with readers. I make the full case in my book www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/john-...

DOGE exists to help the extraction class disguise corruption, cronyism, and the brutal dismantling of consumer protection, labor rights, and the social safety net as as "innovative efficiency reforms" and from everything I've seen the U.S. press is super keen to help support the illusion

DOGE is simply procurement capture by government vendors. The "efficiency" they seek is disadvantaging competitors to any of their businesses (like Rivian attempting to compete with Tesla) by throwing up regulatory obstacles and cancelling government contracts. They're not being subtle.

Just a reminder that in 2019, RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine misinformation campaign helped cause a measles outbreak in Samoa that killed 83 people, mostly kids. Do you really want him to lead the Department of Health and Human Services?

“For one Cabinet nominee to be accused of sexual impropriety may be regarded as misfortune. For two Cabinet nominees to be thus accused looks like carelessness,” Quinta Jurecic writes. “For four—well, that moves beyond carelessness into outright malice”:
