I was reading the comments on a local news article about Medicaid cuts and a Missouri woman called having access to healthcare a “lifestyle” that isn’t meant for folks who can’t afford it.

A timely quote from Dr. Carla Hayden: “Libraries are a cornerstone of democracy—where information is free and equally available to everyone. People tend to take that for granted, and they don’t realize what is at stake when that is put at risk.”

Something surprising is happening:
After a steep drop-off during the pandemic, youth drug use is *continuing* its remarkable decline—defying the predictions of many experts.
We spoke with researcher Richard Miech to get his take on the phenomenon.

She wrote an article in the student newspaper. That’s all she did. The U.S. can’t call itself a free country if that gets you sent to jail.

Apparently we're going to surveillance our way to learning. Anyone who doubts that AI is inextricably bound up with intensive monitoring of student behaviors need only look at how those who genuinely believe this technology is a help are positioning it.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

It's poetry that racist Strom Thurman's filibuster record to stop the Civil Rights Act was broken by a black man in the Senate. Condolences in Hell, Strom.

This is utterly incredible to watch. Beating Strom Thurmond's record and speaking truth into the historical record is an absolute achievement. Do not go quietly and keep making good trouble @booker.senate.gov

It's true! Adults are also baffled when we tell them that and it always worries me
My Ss are often shocked when I tell them AI will never tell you it doesn’t know- it’ll just lie to you.

Even when chatbots are provided direct quotes from real stories and asked for more information, they will often lie."
