Your kids' data is being collected by EdTech companies in school, and you cannot see all of it!
@juliecbarrett and I discussed EdTech, parental rights, age verify laws, and protecting kids online.
Check it out on the @PKOproject:

🚨Call both chambers - NO KOSA!
HOUSE: 202‑225‑3121
SENATE: 202‑224‑3121
This will not protect children and will put them at greater risk. Parents are the firewall. Do not give Big Tech more power by mandating them to collect MORE data and surveil users.
Digital education for parents/kids, stronger law enforcement/arrests & convictions from cybertips, public awareness. KOSA doesn't take one predator off the street. This bill is an empty promise for kids. VOTE NO ON KOSA....202.224.3121.
@Milenatehoff@ErikaDonalds@AFloridaPromise Florida: Your politicians are not working for you. They work for lobbyists.
"Accountability" hasn't worked out well in our state. now the same people who created it want to revisit it.

“We have 77% of our schools in Florida are As or Bs. We know that that’s just not a realistic assessment of what parents are seeing and what our results are showing. So we need to rethink what accountability is.” -@ErikaDonalds@AFloridaPromise agrees!
When 321 schools can be rated ‘A’ or ‘B’ while having fewer than 50% of their students either reading or doing math on grade-level, we have a problem.
“Our founders wrote anonymously. Why are we being told we need to age-verify to speak in a public forum?”
Florida parent and privacy advocate .@CitizensLight on age-verification laws that force ID checks for social media — and why she believes protecting kids online is a parent’s job, not the government’s.

@Rob_iobbi@DataRepublican Our founders did NOT like factions.
Whoever thinks the founding fathers set up parties that "serve to organize faction" needs to brush up on their history.

George Washington on political parties:
“They serve to organize faction, to give it an artificial and extraordinary force—to put in the place of the delegated will of the nation the will of a party; often a small but artful and enterprising minority of the community; and, according to the alternate triumphs of different parties, to make the public administration the mirror of the ill concerted and incongruous projects of faction, rather than the organ of consistent and wholesome plans digested by common councils and modified by mutual interests.”

The founding fathers did not set up any party system. They designed and built a representative republic. the house of representatives represented the people, the senate represented the sovereign interest of the states. Parties were not ever and never will be part of what the founders designed.
Political alliances represent the root of every single damn issue plaguing this country.
This post is surprising from you. You get hacked? Lololzz
Governor DeSantis says Americans are rejecting AI Data Centers because of what they represent.
“It represents a future that a lot of people don't find appealing. And how can you blame them? Talk to the tech CEOs about what AI is going to do. Well, it's going to cause half the people to lose their job.
Because we're told we've got to build these things, right? We've got to beat China. And a lot of people are like, okay, we have to build these so that half of us lose our jobs? Is that what you're telling me?”
Oh yeah, nothing says "welcome" like sliding into a booth and finding a sticky laminated QR code instead of an actual menu.
Now you get to dig out your phone, squint at the code, fight through a website that loads like it’s running on dial-up, scroll past the same six blurry photos of food, and tap in your own order.
Then you type your credit card info into whatever random site just popped up.
Cool.
Totally normal. 😂
Forty minutes later, a runner drops a plate on the table and vanishes.
Then the checkout screen pops up with a 22% tip already selected like it’s the law.
For what, exactly? 🤔
You cut the host.
You cut the person who used to take the order.
And now you want a tip for work we did ourselves while staring at a loading spinner?
That’s not hospitality.
That’s just making the customer run your restaurant and then charging them extra for the privilege.
I walk out of places like this...
