In a democracy, the war on Iran would not be possible.

Nope.

also, you know, if it were me, I might point out that if we are worried about a madman with a nuclear weapon, the main concern should really not be Iran right now.

David Steiner makes a case for reimagining American public schools In his new book, David Steiner, director of the Johns Hopkins Institute for Education Policy, impugns a broken educational system and argues for a return to the fundamentals of wisdom, ethics, and bea...

Trump Is Not the Peacemaker He Portrays Himself to Be Trump’s seemingly contradictory approach to war and the use of U.S. military force makes sense—if you know where to look.

I think the fact that we're on the brink of an unjustified and illegal war with Iran corroborates everything I wrote here last May, but especially the last part, about how almost all of Trump's worst uses of force in both his terms originated as items on the Pentagon's wish list.

Yesterday I filed an #AmicusCuriae brief at #SCOTUS in the birthright citizenship case. It presents stories of 3 families of Japanese ancestry--w/o legal allegiance to the USA--to show citizenship derives from birth on US soil, not parental loyalties.

The entire Democratic strategy debate — "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? — is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close!

Maybe I shouldn't be, but I'm surprised people take this Alpha School thing at all seriously. Does no one remember Rocketship or AltSchool or the other attempts at this digitally automated schooling? Time to re-up this from the AltSchool days. www.insidehighered.com/blogs/just-v...

i’m tired of every paper (even critical ones) on societal impact of AI starting by both-siding the “benefits” and risks/harms of AI

in academia, i would like us to arrive at a collective reckoning that we don’t need to play both sides. it's totally legit to clearly state just the harms. period

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light

AI Doesn’t Reduce Work—It Intensifies It One of the promises of AI is that it can reduce workloads so employees can focus more on higher-value and more engaging tasks. But according to new research, AI tools don’t reduce work, they consisten...

Then this happens:

I’m convinced that selling AI features like this to the consumer is the key to pushing it on workers. If you’ve convinced them it’s wonderful at home, then it must be great at work. So you may embrace it even before your boss tells you that you have to use it, hastening your own disempowerment.
