Blueskis, this letter is worth reading in full.
Mayor Wu is a badass.
And the people of Boston will not bow to tyrants.

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations.
The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

The reason generative AI is banned in my classroom is both that process is part of learning and also using some programs' words without attribution is wrong, of course, AND ALSO it is a bullshit generator powered by intellectual property theft.

Cost of child care for one child can be more than rent in some US counties blog.dol.gov/2024/11/19/n...

We updated our National Database of Childcare Prices with data from 2019-2022 and found that U.S. families spend between 8.9% and 16.0% of their median income on full-day care for just one child.
