(taps earpiece) Terribly sorry. I was just reminded that although previous Supreme Courts have recognized that the 4th Amendment is applicable to technology that didn't exist in 1787, the current Supreme Court (6 of them anyway) might be hostile to that concept. My bad.

I'm pleasantly surprised by the absence of "Who cares, they caught the guy" comments. It's a serious question...how does a 200+ year old document protect against AI? It's been done before. After all, telephones didn't exist in 1787. Nor did cars. In those instances the Supreme Court...

*Stanford History Education Group changed it's name a few years ago to "Digital Inquiry Group." Its mission has expanded, but the commitment to history education has remained. www.inquirygroup.org/history-less...

thinking skills that are vauluable beyond just the study of history. And often they do so in the face of opposition and even in some cases threats to their career. We're teaching it. Maybe the 23+ hours per day when kids aren't in our class have something to do with it. 🤔

As a high school US history for 20 years...um, no. There are thousands of teachers and organizations supporting them (such as the Stanford History Education Group*) that drill down on what some would consider true stains on US history. And just as important as the content, they foster critical

*I added this because I'm beginning to question whether there's anyone at CNN who's aware of this fact. Based on how this story is framed I have my doubts.

NotGoingBack @nooneletgo.bsky.social · 9h

WTF is with this framing. JFC it's like the White House wrote the headline for you. Republicans to fix this in an instant if they wanted to. They have a majority in the House and Senate.* They don't need a single Dem vote to make sure service members are paid.

It's another manifestation of the "if they had listened to ME we would have won!" disorder that afflicts a vocal subset of Democrats.

They looked around, asked themselves "what is the absolute least we can do because there are so many other things to do" and this is what they came up with.

A good example that the definition of "here" means "the planet Earth" when we're talking about the climate crisis.

Dead giveaway that this is from a troll account. It's "Democratic governors." Apparently Moscow isn't training you all who man the troll farm very well.

NotGoingBack @nooneletgo.bsky.social · 2d

Yes! The most important thing we can do now following Bondi's shameful affront to Congress as a co-equal branch is to focus hard on how Democratic Senators fucked up by not asking a question about something she did before she was AG. 🙄

Kristi Noem was the governor of South Dakota when Biden was President. Guess what she said regarding Biden potentially federalizing the Guard.

Who the fuck cares if he's trolling or not. It's a hideous thing for a public servant to say. JFC don't any of you have the balls to call out these ghouls for who and what they are?
