Last night, Americans made a clear call for accountability and affordability. A body politic cannot recover until its harms have been treated and its wounds have been healed. Crimes against our people and our Constitution must be answered for.

Schools can and should do what a lot of the rest of us did and switch to less contaminated search engines. I hope I see the day when the Google Empire collapses along with the Facebook Empire for corrupting their main product while overextending themselves on their Next Big Thing.

Hey Oregon, it’s Election Day and your choices for governor are between an NPR tote bag full of neoliberals, Big Pantsuit PAC money and a stack of form letters *OR* a 15th century demon that lives in one of Trump’s golden urinals. Choose wisely

Attention Portland: PPS advocates are holding joint meeting with folks from Salem schools to discuss how lobbying efforts in both districts are not a coincidence. This Thursday the 29th
Update: The Save Public Schools resolution will not be on tomorrow's council agenda, but we will have more information soon on when it will be coming to council. Thank you all for your support.
In SF there is a community school that hosts a homeless shelter for unhoused SFUSD students. It’s extremely discreet and offers badly needed transitional housing for families. There is no reason why PPS couldn’t do this.
Throwback to 2021, when one mom pissed off every fascist in the city with this one neat trick and not one lie was detected. @brandee4schools.bsky.social
Portland could be piloting community schools programs and utilizing these buildings for preschool for all, health clinics, etc, in addition to keeping these schools open. www.nea.org/student-succ...
What Are Community Schools? | NEA
Community Schools are public schools that provide services and support that fit each neighborhood’s needs, created and run by the people who know our children best—all working together.

No district has ever closed schools in a way that benefited marginalized communities. Anyone saying anything different is lying.

Councilor Mitch Green@councilorgreen.bsky.social · 2w agoOver the last several days I've heard directly from parents who are scared and outraged about the PPS proposals for closure of their schools. They are calling for action from their elected officials at all levels. Today I have filed an emergency that responds to the urgency of these calls. 🧵
So, should we talk about how Portland public employees and school board members were the targets of right wing opposition research targeting over their opposition to a controversial Bond contract??
Tonight, 300+ people will gather at Club Fugazi to hear from journalist @gilduran.com, whose bestselling book “The Nerd Reich” has everyone talking about Silicon Valley’s rightward lurch — and what might happen next. We chatted with Gil about the book, his readers’ top FAQ, and his next project.
The rise (and rise) of the nerd reich

Not really sure where a bunch of liberals got the idea that they can’t win without throwing trans people in the garbage, but they’re stupid and cruel and wrong. If you want a human sacrifice so damned bad put gavin newsom in the wicker man
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.
the counting crows drop in camp miasma reminded me of the time i played a breakcore basement show in new jersey and partied so hard i woke up on a college party house couch with broken glasses then got on a train to nyc, went to dinner at nobu, and sat next to adam duritz, who was there on a date.
It's official! I'm *permanently* banned from X for tweeting "TLDR: Fascism." (appeal denied) What an honor—and a sign that the Silicon Valley billionaires feel threatened by my book. (One of my final viral posts featured this cover.) Pre-order here! www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ne...
Gil Durán@gilduran.com · 7mo agoThe CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X. I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!). So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.
Everywhere I go online, I’m seeing @gilduran.com talking about all the stuff we’ve been ranting about for years and it’s so healing, lol. Now he’s getting one of my favorite humans to talk to him in public! 🥹🥹 Go Gil, go!
Folks like @loopdoom on Twitter have been calling this out for years

1. Flock tracks and stores every passing vehicle, not just crime suspects. 2. Flock makes huge profits for itself and its investors by trading away our privacy. 3. Flock's tech is ripe for abuse — police officers have already been fired for using it to stalk women. Should we keep going?
Why Are So Many People Upset About Flock Cameras?
Flock Safety’s automated license plate-reading cameras, used by thousands of law enforcement agencies in the U.S., have drawn intense criticism from civil liberties groups.
