BREAKING: Mayor Zohran Mamdani just announced the nation’s most expansive student-facing AI policy.
NYC will impose a one-year moratorium on generative AI for students from 2-K through eighth grade, while high schoolers receive twice-yearly AI critical-thinking instruction. A new screen-time policy will also prioritize real, human teaching.
“Children need their teachers and human connection in order to learn and grow.”
NYC is drawing a clear line: protect childhood, preserve human instruction and prepare older students to navigate AI responsibly.
A whistleblower just disclosed that USPS is secretly enacting Trump's order to restrict mail-in ballots:
"If even one bar code on one single ballot in a bulk-mailing of 10,000 ballots fails to properly scan during the verification process, the entire batch is rejected and sent back to the state - effectively stopping the ballots from being mailed to voters."
It’s genuinely alarming that this isn’t dominating the news cycle. A senior White House advisor is calling for the mass deportation of millions of Americans based on their religion a direct assault on the founding principles of this country. This deserves outrage, not silence.
The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
Wow. Proponents of the ICE taser gloves are openly saying that one reason they love the gloves is that they doesn’t leave any marks or proof that they were used, making it harder for people to sue when they’re shocked excessively.
Congratulations to @AbdulElSayed on winning the Michigan Democratic primary to be our nominee for US Senate. Abdul has my full endorsement and support.
This was a brutal primary (believe me, I know). And Trump and Mike Rogers are counting on us staying divided. Let's prove them wrong by beating Mike Rogers and taking our country back. 🇺🇸
Letterboxd is functioning exactly as it should and gives its users the precise experience they want, which is antithetical to everything tech companies believe in
