β€’ Professors should never put a student's words or work into an AI
software without their consent.
β€’ Professors should also be transparent about their Al usage with grading, curriculum building, and any other way they might use it in their teaching.
β€’ If a professor does use Al chatbots in the classroom, they should explain their reasoning behind this decision and how its usage will help students meet learning
outcomes.
β€’ Professors should additionally respect a student's choice to refuse Al. To do this, it would be ideal that they have assignments that students can choose from that do

FL is moving forward w/ plan to end all childhood vaccine mandates. Starting with hepatitis B, chickenpox, and the bacteria causing meningitis and pneumonia. Then next year GOP FL legislature is expected to revisit 1977 law re: whooping cough, measles, polio, rubella, mumps, diphtheria, and tetanus.

on National Cat Day, i am presenting you with a cat.

if you haven't seen a cat before, this is what they look like. granted, details often vary. but the head, legs, fur, triangle ears -- the core structure -- tends to be consistent.

Washington State University Credentials Anti-Trans Hate Group SEGM to Teach Medical Providers The Southern Poverty Law Center has dubbed the Society for Evidence-Based Gender Medicine an anti-LGBTQ hate group for its role in proliferating pseudoscience and transphobic policies.

1. Washington State University has credentialed an anti-trans, conversion therapy org SEGM to teach CMEs to medical providers.

The panel is filled with the most vitriolic of anti-trans activists.

Unsuspecting providers may be taught harmful practices.

I love Rebecca DOWN. Known as Dollar Tree Dinners.

Her β€œMeal in a Bag” is meant to provide ppl with a complete meal that is $8 or less, is shelf stable, & can be made without access to a full kitchen. I love this as a direct aid option. Good for neighbors & elders who can’t/wont go to a pantry.

Say Less, Repeat More: The Science of Winning the Message War by @DigitalWarfare1 For too long, progressives have treated communication as a contest of facts, as if the most accurate argument wins the day.

Repetition isn’t manipulation. It’s memory. It’s how humans learn, how trust forms, & how movements are built.

We don’t need to say more things.
We need to say fewer things more often.

Read DigitalWarfare1’s piece, Say Less, Repeat Often.

A D.C. task force shot at a driver. It’s not in the police report. Neither D.C. police nor the Department of Homeland Security have explained why the Homeland Security agent fired his weapon.

WILD story. A DHS officer shot at a man he thought was fleeing (a judge dismissed all charges). Bullets went into the driver's side window, through his jacket collar, and into the empty passenger seat. An MPD cop on the scene says he was ordered not to put it in the police report.

Blanketing a fucking town of 900 people in surveillance equipment all so cops can harass and potentially ruin someone's career and life over a $25 Amazon package, all at taxpayer expense. And their idiotic asses can't even use the gigantic surveillance network to actually find the correct person!

It’s not just that they don’t have to turn off SNAP benefits β€” they’re not legally allowed to. They legally must use the contingency fund.

The admin is pretending they can’t use it even though their own guidance from a month ago (that they’ve since deleted) contradicts that.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

I know a lot of people (cough Millennials) feel like they need to START a thing, START a food bank, build a little free food pantry.

My friends, my loves, my dears.

Don't start.

JOIN.

These exist. They have community ties! They have some funding! Accountability! Regulations!

Pet food is usually not covered by SNAP (depending on where you are), but needing to cover more groceries may take up what you would have spent on it. Many animal shelters have pet food pantries, so check your local if you're struggling to feed your pets.

Deeply racist, yes, but also deeply stupid.

Rural counties have higher enrollments than urban ones. Some of the largest enrollment states are red ones like Louisiana, Oklahoma and West Virginia. Undocumented immigrants are ineligible. Most beneficiaries are required to work 80 hrs/month.

If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples

A former sheriff’s deputy has been in jail over a month after he was arrested (a judge signed the warrant) because local law enforcement didn’t like a meme he shared on Facebook in response to Charlie Kirk’s death, showing Donald Trump saying, β€œwe have to get over it,” 24 hrs after a school shooting

a photograph of the interior of a church. Several people are visible sitting in pews. In the pew immediately in front of the photographer, a black human-sized cardboard cutout in the outline of a woman is visible, as though a shadow is sitting in the pew in front of you.

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

On Threads, the usual suspects are telling ppl about to lose SNAP benefits to just start a garden. As a gardener, I had to laugh. You need at LEAST an acre of land to feed a family of 4. Start-up costs are enormous. But yes, subsistence farming on the balcony of your rental apartment is the answer

I can recommend Pocketcasts for podcasts. It's one of the only apps I'm willing to pay for because a good podcast app is important to me, but I'm pretty sure the experience is good even for free users.
