Good one to bring up in your local city council meetings:
"Why are you putting us at risk for retaliation by Iran? They are targeting datacenters run by defense contractors like OpenAI, AWS, Microsoft, etc"
Tomorrow is an ‘optional’ teacher workday. For a moment I convinced myself I would go in, get ahead, not burn a day. HAHAHAHA no.
Im glad he is ok! Scary stuff
Anthropic could never have bought the goodwill now coming their way. No marketing budget coulda been big enough.
My students are working on “dear historian” videos. They speak to historians 50 years from now on a topic they think historians will write about and share their perspectives about living through it. I’ll stitch them together, a video time capsule.
These kids!!! We are gonna be ok.
that IS something! the universe loves you

I promise that there are digital artists who will create beautiful alternative to this shitshow, I teach high school, my kids will step up.
It does make me as a survivor sad to see that crimes against us are not as important as financial crimes.
PD today, topic was AI in special populations. It was an online course, obviously written in part by AI and educators had to answer discussion questions to complete the pd. Educators clearly used ai to answer.
What 👏are 👏we 👏doing👏?
It warms my heart to see (fellow) white people standing up against the horrible actions of our govt. The white man at his first protest, the brown hoodied student, the white woman wine mom with the molotov. It feels like the tide is turning.
parents, organize at your school board meeting around dropping this contract for school pics and yearbooks

I made this song in my studio, alone, just an hour away from where horrific events took place. This song was later recorded with some talented friends coming together to get this done. Thank you all.

Those had huge impact on me. Yeah a loop, a spiral.
I’m better able to deal now. Hope everyone from that time can say the sane.
And you!
We get a wonderful view of these shitty times. Patterns, similarities, shadows, reflections.
Fascinating
I believe WTO (1999) was the first time activists used “the internet” (then it was listserves) to coordinate and plan. I was tech momma for one of these listserves (funkyfungus).
I truly love the people of Minneapolis MN! “We walk the same ground. We’re torn apart. Put down your weapons. Come sing your part” inviting ICE to see all people as humans and to join them in non violence. It’s Whoville from Dr Seuss comes to life - kindness and compassion personified. MN Strong!
No, that is not what we want. We don’t want reform, we have seen time and again that leads nowhere. Abolish ICE. Stop the funding. We could really use that money in healthcare or education, but its a moral imperative regardless of $ spent.
Same. While making offerings to the gawds in gratitude that when I was a young activist so damn sure I had THE answers there was no social media.
HS teacher here who spent last week on Animate because my students WANTED TO LEARN IT.
I’ve used it since it was flash, & all the iterations since. How are they killing animate but not dreamweaver?
This is The Singing Resistance.
What began with a small group singing in freezing temperatures has grown into a movement in Minneapolis, where thousands are gathering to sing protest songs as a way to grieve, express fear, and find courage. #SingingResistance
This is so Minnesotan 💙
I feel lucky, my experience in occupy (charlotte) was good. It makes me sad to hear stories like yours, and there are a LOT of them. I’m sorry that happened.

NC has a no-mask law. Exceptions were created for medical masking since covid. But how did CBP/ICE get away with masking when they were here terrorizing our city?
Imagine having Bruce Springsteen AND Billy Bragg release songs about how much you fucking suck and how much the people fighting you rule you within the same 48 hours
They don’t learn. Heritage Foundation tried this with Moral Monday arrestees, it backfired spectacularly.
Wow. Per @priscialva, DHS has suspended Gregory Bovino’s access to his social media accounts effective immediately. He spent yesterday responding to people who were criticizing him and raising questions about his unverified claims about Pretti.
"DHS has suspended Gregory Bovino’s access to his social media accounts effective immediately," CNN reports
I don’t understand how ice/cbp in minneapolis are just eating at restaurants without fear of whats being put in their food? Or do they think locals can’t tell who they are?
