I'd encourage educators to work from the standpoint that AI was, from the off, intended as an assault on their institutions. The Venn diagram between AI evangelists and people who want to replace democracy with techno-feudalism is a circle.

Why on earth should you get over this? If you lived in 1920 and knew a Klansman, you should look down on him. If you lived in 1940 and knew a fascist, you should look down on him.
The grand progressive listening tour doesn’t work, these people need censure to change. Proudly hold contempt for them.

So one of my political sins that I know I should get over is that I do have the problem of holding Trump's base in contempt and looking down on them, and part of it is that my image of who they are is heavily informed by the one MAGA guy who shows up regularly on my FB feed; I'll call him J.

As the immigration blitz wound down, an Uptown couple breathed a sigh of relief. Then they were torn apart.
Less than a day before Eva Gurtovaia was to become a U.S. citizen, federal agents detained her Kurdish husband, who was authorized to work in the country.

Corporate Media is going to pretend that Trump is heartbroken about the two West Virginian National Guardsmen being shot in DC, but the entire point of moving a standing army into a peaceful city was to induce violence by The People to justify more violence by Trump on The People in retaliation.

No one shld lose sight of the fact that the Guard was only in DC as part of an extended political messaging stunt. The shooter is guilty for the attacks/carnage. Donald Trump is responsible for them. This is the collateral damage of Trump abusing his powers as President.
