No one is covering the threats to our democracy like the 20-person team at Democracy Docket. No venture capital, no corporate overloads, no compromises. Just pro-democracy news, information and analysis.

they want fascist "AI"
“We are getting rid of woke. The American people do not want woke Marxist lunacy in the AI models,” President Trump said in a speech on Wednesday.
Trump Says He’s ‘Getting Rid of Woke’ and Dismisses Copyright Concerns in AI Policy Speech
The remarks, which came during a keynote speech at a summit hosted by the All-In Podcast, follow President Donald Trump’s newly released AI Action Plan.

"The bottom line is that Trump and DOGE made drastic cuts to the NWS and the NOAA. Retired federal scientists warned the cuts could hamstring forecasts and make extreme weather events less predictable and more dangerous."
Trump gutted the weather service. Then Texas flooded.
It's a brutal reminder that in disasters, we need the federal government.

Now using this in my media literacy workshops. This is what happens when you lack any journalistic integrity, go off hearsay and interpretation, while also going on a rant on topics you know very little about beyond opinion. I’m referenced along with two others yet none of us were sought for comment
I FOIAed every state's dept of education to see what they were telling teachers about ChatGPT / how they were training them on it, and the situation was bleak. My writeup, pulled from thousands of pages of presentations, emails, and other documents:

American Schools Were Deeply Unprepared for ChatGPT, Public Records Show
Thousands of pages of documents show school districts around the country did not understand how much ChatGPT would change their classrooms, and pro-AI consultants filled in some of the gaps.

Maybe this take is unpopular for a reason 🤔
Unpopular opinion: I know it's cool to wear your earbuds and carry a book while pasting a disinterested, don't-talk-to-me expression on your face, but I like to talk to the person sitting beside me on airplanes. I liked it when we were willing to be inconvenienced by strangers.

Meanwhile that ridiculous EO on AI (or should we call it A1) in education will amplify the worst things we know AI can do. I’ve watched how many and which educators received that EO with fanfare and celebration.
I spoke with @apnews.com about so-called woke AI:
“to say that AI systems are ideologically biased is to say that you identify, recognize and are concerned about the problem of algorithmic bias, which is the problem that many of us have been worried about for a long time"

Of course the word “equity” doesn’t appear.
This administration treats “equity” like it’s an acronym for something subversive — like DEI, or CRT, or any other term that suggests justice might require redistribution. So they bury it under the language of uplift.

“The AI executive order …; it’s a transparent attempt to open up schools to unaccountable tech companies, w/wholly inadequate safeguards to protect our kids. It mandates that school districts spend their limited resources on unproven software, [while] planning to slash districts’ overall funding.”
