I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand

You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen

*Everyone has stories like this*

Do you think this is necessary? There is plenty of positive content on the Internet, but people love to hate comment.

People have to be intentional in seeing viewpoints outside their own now, which many won't. The more interesting part to me is that people used to choose which biased media they wanted to consume. Now it is just fed to people through an algorithm without them considering the source.

I think about this a lot. Many of our algorithms already have so much inherent bias because of information put into them during development and through use. This is especially concerning when we think about how algorithms and AI are used to approve/deny life-saving decisions such as healthcare.

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a β€œthreat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

There was already such wide spread of misinformation before this, I can only image it will get worse. I primarily am concerned for communities that will be attacked and have hateful messages spread about them.

I agree! It would also be interesting to see what types of podcasts people are listening to in each country (educational vs. entertainment).

Curious, do you think we should be banning access to social media for minors?

Donold says he’s standing up for persecuted Christians…unless they’re Catholic bishops pleading for mercy, then they’re β€˜radical leftists.’

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Every day for the past two weeks I’ve read a headline that is so absurd it feels like it must be an Onion article. Every day it is real news.

My favorite thing about Bluesky so far is that you see people asking for sources when they see something questionable in their feed.

When I first read "Trump blames DEI for plane crash" today I thought it must have been the headline for an article on The Onion because that leap in logic is so wild.

They want to ban the teaching of the unpleasant facts of American history because people might conclude injustices in the past that contribute to inequalities in the present should be rectified, instead of their belief, which is that some groups of people are inherently superior to others

I think I’ve seen this film before (literally in a history class), and I didn’t like the ending…

From the executive order to end radical indoctrination in k-12 schooling.

Sen Chris Murphy (D-CT) just now:

β€œYou could literally walk
down the street and the first 100 people you’d find would be less dangerous as the head of HHS than Robert F Kennedy Jr. He will get people killed”

stopping the flow of HIV drugs to poor countries and demanding that foreign doctors stop distributing the meds already sitting in their clinics is so evil it is hard to wrap my head around. one day when when this is all history i will struggle to forgive anyone who voted for him
