Since is in the news, a reminder they make $100 million per year selling personal student data + they are lobbying NYS to pass weak student data privacy laws. Sadly no one cares. Where is on these watered down amendments?

Trying to see something. If you’re a man, and you can understand why a woman would be upset about deepfake porn being sold of her non-consensually, can you RT? Restore my faith in humanity 🙏🏻

In a Q and A, Gov. Hochul calls her charter school expansion proposal in the budget "common sense" -- though will likely lead to some significant friction with the teachers unions and some Democratic lawmakers.

Swamping us with unnecessary features (no refrigerator should be connected to the internet); squeezing us for money, time, and personal data; collapsing through buggy software or spam/troll/hacker/DDoS susceptibility or mass layoffs/cost cutting leading to subpar service.

🧵 Have you ever heard of the John Birch Society? It's one of the biggest influences behind today's far-right. And even though it was founded 60+ years ago, Bircher philosophy has a tight grip on Fox News conspiracy theories and culture wars. Don't worry, I've got the receipts:

How do you deal with giving sincere criticism about something you consider to be a basic necessity? Someone is doing something that needs to be done, that you’re not able to, and no matter how you put it, they get defensive.
Ok, I give up. Which search engine in modern times points you to search results which are not a storefront?
If they say “get on the ground”’and you get on the ground, say “I’m on the ground” and you STILL get tased and pepper sprayed. What else are you supposed to do but run? So much for that whole “if he only he had complied” narrative.

Would you believe that egg prices are higher because a giant company decided they could make more profit by raising prices and blaming "bird flu" and "inflation" rather than anything to do with bird flu or anything else

Neat how he’s going to get so much more money to not continue working! When I lost my teaching job I asked if I would get my unused sick time disbursed and I was told they “didn’t want to set a precedent.”

Private and religious schools who accept state-funded tax vouchers do not have to accept disabled kiddos, those on 504s, or provide SpEd services. They don’t have to accept gay kids or kids with gay parents. They can discriminate while accepting your taxes. Vouchers are a scam.

In all seriousness, this is (if true) the likely tipping point in the House. "Kevin McCarthy sent a dog-abusing swindler of disabled veterans to look after your small business" is the kind of thing that starts dragging down people beyond Santos.

Listen, friends…if you want to understand why politicians continue to defund public schools and engage in voucher schemes, follow the money. Finance reports are publicly available. Look up donations to your Reps. You won’t even be a little surprised.

When folks think of private schools paid for by tax vouchers, they envision lush lawns, plaid uniforms, and critical thinking in a bright and roomy classroom. What they often actually get is a windowless, cinder block room in a church basement. Careful what you wish for.

It’s just funny that as the quality of everything from airlines to infrastructure to food safety and availability to healthcare continues to precipitously erode around us millions of people blame socialism, an economic system that we do not live under
