I actually don't really care if AI is useful/interesting/good for some things in education actually - it is besides these things clearly a big problem already that maybe need listing yet again:

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

There’s a viral video reposted by a lot of news people nationally about an abduction at West Loop Elementary School, but there is no school with that name. The video seems to be of ICE detaining people near UIC yesterday. Details matter. We need to try to get them right before sharing.

What happened to Silverio Villegas González

Immigration agents shot and killed an unarmed 38-year-old father outside Chicago on Friday—and their initial narrative of events was quickly disproven by videos captured by witnesses.

David Bier @davidjbier.bsky.social · 11d

ICE lied about the person it shot, claiming he was a "criminal," but NBC finds that he had no criminal history whatsoever. Not even traffic tickets in 12 years! It also lied about the extent of the injuries to its agents....

Jonathon Greenblatt lit his soul and the credibility of the ADL on fire for white supremacy, Zionism, and genocide apologia.

The fascists turned on him anyway.

It should be enough that Zionism kills Palestinians. But if you're a self interested ass, it hurts Jews too. Even the "good ones."

Elon Musk labels ADL a ‘hate group’ after TPUSA listed as extremist

The tech CEO’s own chatbot disagreed with his claims that the ADL is a “hate group” which has a prejudice against Christians

ICE has erected a gate to keep protesters out. They are blocking a public street, despite the Broadview Fire Department ordering ICE to tear it down.
Join us at 1930 Beach Street. 7-9 AM. Tell Broadview to tear this fence down.

EVERY president since the 80s has demanded Cuba return Assata Shakur to the US for trial. Trump offered to END the embargo if they returned her.

The Cubans told every president for decades to eat shit and that she will always be welcome to live her life in peace on their land.

If you get arrested at a protest, and you need to fight a charge, who's your lawyer? A public defender may represent you at arraignment. (Love you, PDs!)

Afterward, usually it's an NLG lawyer, working for free. The NLG Chicago needs your support.

(ACLU doesn't do crim defense, with exceptions.)

The Washington Post torched free speech by firing Karen Attiah, the last Black female opinion columnist, for daring to quote truth.

This isn’t journalism, it’s cowardice: silencing voices that challenge power, gutting the First Amendment, and betraying readers who demand a free press. ✊🏾🔥

"Most countries facing pressure to take American detainees are African. In June, the US Supreme Court authorized the expulsion of eight detainees, who had endured months inside a shipping container in Djibouti, to South Sudan."

Colonize then, deport now

Trump’s deportation regime revives a colonial blueprint first drafted by the American Colonization Society, when Black lives were exiled to Africa to safeguard a white republic.
