Black & Brown kids are already over represented in special education, specifically emotional & behavioral disabilities-and will be the ones who will be subjected to racist AI generated behavior plans
If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizรกndola debajo de la puerta.
ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PรDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pรญdeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a รกreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.
REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".
It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.
EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.
Hereโs our shareable guide โฌ๏ธ: (pt. 1/2)
We need answersโnow. Where is our sister Hilary Rivers? ICE took her the morning after Pride with no warning, no due process, and no communication. This is not justiceโthis is kidnapping. We demand transparency, accountability, and her immediate release.

She built herself up as a progressive when she wanted to be president and had a great record opposing Trump nominees first term.
Now she's a crypto-funded corporate Democrat who defends sexual predators. A total embarrassment.
Zohran Mamdani is saying things like โpoverty is a policy choice and politicians have a duty to their constituents to make their lives affordableโ and it is making a lot of politicians very very scared that they may actually have to start doing some actual service in their public service jobs.

Each time a remotely progressive candidate wins office in the US, the rich declare they're going to leave town. What do they actually do? Nothing. A 2016 study found only 0.04% of millionaires move in a given year due to tax increases. Rich people talk to feel important. Please properly tax them.
