Getting in "good trouble."

This is a classic case of putting relentless growth ahead of educational quality and child safety. "Move fast and break things" doesn't work when you're breaking real classrooms and working families. https://t.co/uVcSAMJss7 #edtechchat

@Anthropologie I sent you a DM an hour and a half ago and no one has responded.

[Dr. Mary Jo Madda @MJMadda]

Pretty fascinating, ICYMI

Sweden will makes its schools phone free!
They are also pulling back on edtech.
They recognize that multifunction devices make it harder for students to learn.

So, trump called a female reporter a bitch and the other reporters just.....stood there???

[Scott Dworkin @funder]

A federal judge just ruled that videos of DOGE staffers must stay up — and they are devastating.

Under oath, they couldn't define DEI. They admitted they never reduced the deficit. And they wiped out $100 million in humanities grants — including a Holocaust documentary — using ChatGPT.

The regime tried to bury this. It didn't work.

It’s a disservice to Michael B. Jordan and all the Best Actor nominees to continue peddling the lie that Chalamet lost because of his comments on opera and ballet. Voting had closed. Jordan deservedly won because his performance and presence garnered more enthusiasm from voters.

[𝐙 @ZCherAime]

Timothée Chalamet will NOT lose the Oscar because of his comments about ballet and Opera.

He will loose because Micheal B. Jordan had the superior acting performance.

It’s really that simple.

It’s important that you understand what happened last night.

Last night, Stephen Colbert interviewed Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, a candidate who, by all accounts, is on track in the polls to flip Texas blue.

In response, Trump’s FCC reportedly threatened CBS if the interview aired.

CBS caved and pulled the segment, citing “financial reasons.”

In modern American history, no president has been more hostile to free speech than Donald Trump.

But censorship always backfires.

Here’s the full segment Trump didn’t want you to see.

This is 18-mo-old Amalia waving to me when she was detained.

She was hospitalized with a respiratory infection while at ICE’s Dilley facility for immigrant families.

She’s one of dozens of detainees who I spoke to via video and phone calls, letters and an in-person visit. 🧵1/

To all the athletes representing @TeamUSA: I'm so proud of you. Your talent and perseverance have brought you to this moment, and Michelle and I will be joining Americans from across the country cheering you on.

@nuuly @macecadet I agree with this frustration, especially when items are out of stock. If there are a ton of items unavailable, AND it takes a week to get your clothes, what is the point?

Missing hashtag#iste25 this year, but would love to hear from folks - what are you hearing on the ground??

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Let’s get this straight:

1) Local law enforcement didn’t need help.

2) Trump sent troops anyway — to manufacture chaos and violence.

3) Trump succeeded.

4) Now things are destabilized and we need to send in more law enforcement just to clean up Trump’s mess.

Code Next Inglewood Empowers Local Youth Through Tech at Hollywood Park  https://t.co/fp39TrbaxZ via @thelasentinel

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

BREAKING: A Florida meteorologist just went on air and said he can’t accurately report the weather anymore, because Trump’s DOGE cuts gutted the satellite data he relies on.

We’re not just defunding science, we’re sabotaging public safety.

And for what? So a billionaire surveillance firm can get another contract while Americans can’t even get a hurricane warning on time?

[Andrew Whitworth @AndrewWhitworth]

Had the honor of MC'ing the ribbon cutting ceremony for Code Next Inglewood last Friday.
Powered by Google, Hollywood Park, and my squad, the Los Angeles Rams.
This spot isn't just a building-it's a launchpad. Local high schoolers now have a place to get hands-on with tech, Al, design, and all the tools to chase big dreams-right here in their own backyard.
Proud to play a small role in something with such huge potential. The energy in the room was real. Big shoutout to everyone who made it happen.
Let's keep pouring into these young leaders. Let's build!

It all happens here 📚🖥️🎨

Code Next Inglewood, powered by #HollywoodPark and with support from @Google, officially opened its doors this weekend, marking a step toward expanding access to technology and artificial intelligence education for local youth.

[Michael Sanseviro @msanseviro]

Attended the ribbon cutting and open house for the Google Code Next Inglewood lab space in Hollywood Park today. An amazing program providing free education to high school students to develop the next generation of tech leaders.

Trump canceled the Head Start program, because he thinks it gives little kids an advantage over him.
