      After spending last three days in Wisconsin I’m more convinced than ever April 1 state Supreme Court election a referendum on whether Musk-Trump oligarchy will take over the states or if democracy still has a fighting chance. The stakes are that high www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

      Grocery prices are soaring.

      By relying solely on users to report hate speech, it’s estimated that 277 million more posts filled with extremist and hate-filled rhetoric could fill Meta feeds.

Analysis | 277 million more harmful posts could flood Facebook and Instagram, study says
          Meta’s shift to relying on users to report many kinds of harmful content could mean a lot more of it gets left online, says the Center for Countering Digital Hate.

Do not spend, if possible.
No Starbucks on your way to work.
No drinks w/ the coworkers after work.
No dining out.
No Walmart run.
No quick McDonald’s drive-thru hit.
Hurt their wallets!

      Got my first "Violating an Executive Order" and "I'll make sure you lose federal funding" parent threat today for teaching "DEI" books in our upcoming "Liberty and Justice" themed unit. Even in "Blue" Massachusetts we're dealing with this. 
Anyway, don't obey in advance, and don't obey later.
