Respectfully, the courses in your AI Academy seem designed to push "A.i." use on teachers. I see phrases like "You will leave with AI resources you can use tomorrow."

I see no focus on handling cheating and no mention of the cognitive or suicides associated with LLMs.

There are four proposed rules that would weaken the Endangered Species Act. Comments are due by midnight Monday, so please start working today (as having to make 4 separate comments takes a bit longer). Oregon Zoo has a great explainer with links. www.oregonzoo.org/news/defend-...

"These rules now face a 60-day “comment period,” where YOU can weigh in.

A large number of comments can slow it down, force changes, or lay the groundwork for future litigation. YOUR comments are where that starts."

Comment period starts tomorrow
🧵 The Trump administration just proposed two rules that would effectively ban best-practice health care for trans youth.

With Rx Inspector, it’s possible to see your drug’s manufacturing facility and what the FDA found during its inspections.

If your admin says "but we need to prepare students for AI-driven careers," you can calmly say no. Reiterate that AI-integration is the result of wild capitalist greed, the technologies themselves aren't "generative" or useful in most careers, and students should focus on process-based learning.

Struck this morning by how the win wasn’t from the UC system itself pushing back—it was its worker power through *unions* and aligned groups like @aaup.org defending UC interests, even though admin itself wasn’t.
There’s some kind of lesson here
One reason why elite schools (Columbia, Brown, Cornell) caving to Trump’s illegal impoundment and extortion is so galling — a betrayal, really — is that they would have won had they fought. By giving up, they guaranteed every other school will have to fight harder.

I think democrats should push for a thorough review of all Elon Musk govt contracts as part of their 2026-8 portfolio. Why are taxpayers financing the work of a racist near-trillionaire? Leaving that unexamined was one of the biggest failures of the last Dem majority.
