Remember that this latest MAGA administration officially began on MLK Day. Let King's legacy be the one that overshadows Trump and propels us forward.

My question? What possible reason would we have to believe the people who think it's ok to release a chatbot that gives dangerous & false advice to kids? 🍎 📚

About 18 months ago I sent this letter, along with a copy of my book, to a number of MPs and peers, including Wes Streeting. I never got a response (which to be fair was my baseline expectation), but it’s still disheartening to see today’s news about Haidt’s invitation to speak to policymakers.

1. How often this is true for gov accts
2. Whether students know that old posts may contradict positions of current office holders
3. How many #MediaLiteracy educators teach this as a possibility
4. Why any gov accounts would do this instead of fixing the problem immediately 😬

This is typical for an admin that rarely thinks through the downstream effects of their policies. 🍎
One under-appreciated part of this: note the bit below about “and their dependents.”
Under the Trump admin’s new policy, dependent children of visa applicants are not allowed to have their social media set to private during the entire visa process. They MUST make their social media public.

According to a new court filing, the Trump administration has a six-page list of banned words that Head Start locations are forbidden from using when describing their programs.
Among the censored words: "disability," "race," "women," "trauma," "Gulf of Mexico." Short thread with the full list. 🧵
