One of my kids is taking an art history elective in high school. Yesterday the teacher showed an AI-made video. Kids are now scouring the school’s handbook for rules on AI use & fact checking the video. Takeaway! 1) kids hate AI 2) looks like the kids are learning good skills in their other classes!

Recruit a Democrat. Every seat. Every state. Waves need someone to ride them. Call your state party, sign up to run, or volunteer. Make the GOP fight for every inch. Let’s go! No seat left empty!

Regarding all my re-skeets about the elections in the south, these are the folks you keep threatening to leave behind.

They're out there doing the work, fighting hard, and they're getting results. We gotta back them.

We're not safe until all of us are safe. Nobody gets left behind.
