Call a Senator that voted no tonight and demand that they vote to remove Chuck Schumer as Senate Minority Leader.

He has weaponized his incompetence against the American people by allowing 8 Dem Senators to cave to an authoritarian regime. We need real leadership, not the oligarchy’s lapdog
Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him

And they should, given this is his fault.
This is a lovely sentiment but Schumer isn't up for re-election until 2028 and he knows this. At which point he will be 77/78. There's no mechanism to recall a sitting senator AFAIK.

🚨 We’re hearing that Senate Democrats are on the verge of caving to Trump in another “Schumer Surrender.”

That means your Democratic senators need to hear from you right now.

Yes, some people's legacies are complicated. For example, Watson. After all, though he was racist, don't forget his other traits. For example, he was also sexist. And also anti-semitic. And a data / idea thief. So let's not forget all the different facets.

James Watson, who stole women’s work on DNA and presented it as his own, is dead at 97

There, fixed it for you

"Let's use chatbots as a way to better serve students in higher ed" the edtech vendor emails tell me. Bro, fixing persistence and retention is already tough enough. We don't need to put the digital version of a snakepit obstacle course between students and campus services. Come the fuck on.
After spending ten minutes on an automated customer service line while the chatbot repeatedly misspells my name and can't access my account because "I don't recognize your name", I'm starting to think AI may not be the genius future magic efficiency machine i've been told it is

Also, one might think that if one tried to delete a column WITH GRADES IN IT that there might be a “do you really want to delete this” warning????
Anybody know how to get an accidentally deleted grade book column back in Blackboard? 😩😬😳🫣

Terrorists have taken over a building. You get to select one song to blast from speakers on a continuous loop to try to get them to surrender.

Copy and quote-post with the name of the song.

"It's a Small World After All"

I give them a day and a half, tops.
