“Democracy has been hailed as, like, the holy grail for the last couple hundred years, but democracies are inefficient,” said the crypto billionaire. “If you get a benevolent dictator, it’s actually extremely efficient." Hmm, where have I heard this before? www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/b...

A5: I’m really curious to read others’ ideas here, but I think we can start with us as teachers inquiring into our students’ and families’ language practices and inviting students to use and share their indigenous languages in the classroom. #Literacies

A4: I’ve found that in dual language schools where my former candidates teach or where I’ve supervised student teachers, there are students placed in Spanish language classrooms whose L1 is actually an indigenous language. Spanish as well as English are both L2s for these kids.

Now that both "The Nerd Reich" and "End Times Fascism" (by @naomiaklein.bsky.social and @astra.bsky.social) are New York Times best sellers ... it's getting weirder and weirder that certain prominent tech critics have nothing to say on the subject. Stupidity? Cowardice? Complicity? 🤔

Should we rein in #AI agents? Yes. Does the frame of #alignment #misalignment seem to be a helpful set of criteria? Sure. But maybe, just maybe we should ask whether the nut-job evil geniuses leading the AI push within their accelerationist and transhumanist cult are misaligned with humanity?! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Why talk about how nuts the AI rationalist sex cult is, and not just focus on the (very real) risks and harms of AI? Well, when we're discussing "who should get to regulate AI, and how," I think it's VERY relevant to talk about the antisocial, unsettling ways many people running US AI think.

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

No, Laura. It’s not “Antifa.” It was Patriot Front, a white nationalist organization. They covered their faces because they’re cowards who don’t want to be identified. We’ve been saying for over a year that ICE officers shouldn’t be allowed to wear masks either. They are cowards also.
