Pete Hegseth demanded his team to bring Eisenhower's globe in his office, despite warnings that only historians should move the iconic globe. His staff dropped it and broke it.

Police shot blindly into a car because a case of diapers were stolen. And they shot and killed the baby they knew was in the car. Then the shooting is called “justified”. #ThisisAmerica

This happened down the street from me. The guy was sloshed from the nearby Tower District bars and clubs. we have had a huge influx of ICE here and in the nearby cities where harvesting just ended, many ppl are impacted. 1 of my students was pulled over on the way to school, many absent kids.

Fearing for their safety, officers say the 72-year-old man pulled out a gun and shot Gonzalez. The woman's boyfriend, who is a police officer and was off-duty, came to the home and put Gonzalez in handcuffs.

Many smaller cities/towns are fighting back. Following ICE on the farm roads, protesting, school walkouts. Lots of fear. The corner that is usually full of music, the ad-hoc Friday swap meet, and food trucks was eerily empty today as I left work. I am terrified for my students and their families.

Rumor is that ICE will be at the Fresno Fair this weekend, the swap meets. Ppl have been disappearing, empty cars in lots and streets. Pictures up on IG/FB for locals. #AbolishICE

this is freaking me out. i saw on r/collapse and thought it was conspiracy. but if Kinzinger is saying this, I’m worried.

The GOP Midterm Convention in Dallas is a week away and right now the official website only has a list of "potential speakers." Half are cabinet members or Trump family.

When one ballot scans incorrectly (using rushed IT Portal without testing, with bugs) the entire batch of thousands is returned to the state for “correction” meaning thousands do not receive their ballot. Begins today, 9/1. An attack on our elections right before our eyes. #Election #Whistleblower

nytimes.comWhistle-Blower Says USPS Is Secretly Proceeding on Trump’s Mail Voting Plan Before Midterms (Gift Article)A report detailed “grave concerns” that a new system being rushed into use by the U.S. Postal Service could imperil millions of mail ballots ahead of the midterm elections.

what the fuck. schools literally are pushing pushing pushing AI for curriculum, images, planning, professional development… but are starting to freak out that students are using it. Of course AI surveillance of children is here.

It’s Sunday, 9 am, and after I finish reading these clips from Aaron I will finish my coffee and spend about five hours prepping lesson plans and materials for my 5 different HS classes I teach this upcoming week. Unpaid. This whole time I could’ve been using AI to feed info to kids. my bad

Linda McMahon on successful uses of AI in classrooms: "The first couple hours every day students really have on headphones, they're in front of their computers, they're getting their subjects fed to them...the beauty of that is the student almost has a one-on-one tutor...I have seen it work so well"

Literally. Watching 2-3 string players catch and run (and fumble 🫣) means it’s fall and time to eat wings and watch Jason Kelce commercials.
