The world's first trillionaire received 38 Billion Dollars from the US government. But, no, we won't have enough money to pay for school lunches for your kids. Or give you healthcare. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The Los Angeles raids make Deaf immigrants more vulnerable: ‘ICE doesn’t care,’ @andreagtrrz.bsky.social reports. As the city remains under siege, both disability rights & immigrant rights advocates are limited in the help they can offer disabled communities.

A row of protest signs on the grass in front of the Oregon State Capitol

Protesters line both sides of the street under a blue sky with a few fluffy clouds in front of the Oregon State Capitol Park.

A woman of color with long black hair in a bright hoop skirt painted with images of resistance, a belt of various countries’ flags, a t-shirt that says “My existence is my resistance,” and a Statue of Liberty crown holds a megaphone. Behind her is a red canopy with banners that say “Salem Region Indivisible” and “We are all Kilmar Abrego García.”

Why even have a brain, any ideas, any ability to express them, any kind of communication with other people, any desire to solve problems or invent anything, any reason to learn, any use for your eyes or your heart, or any reason to teach or create

From NYT article about the increasing use of AI in the classroom: “Writing is one of the most challenging tasks for students, which is why it is so tempting for some to ask A.I. to do it for them. In turn, A.I. can be useful for teachers who would like to assign more writing, but are limited in their time to grade it.”
