I didn't believe this so I looked it up and holy shit, it's true.
There is a literal pathway to life imprisonment if a trans person uses the bathroom 4 times in Idaho, if this bill fully passes.

Idaho also has a 3 strikes law so any trans people who get caught in the wrong bathroom with at least 2 previous felonies are facing life in prison if this passes.

The videos of doge-bros too drunk in power to have to mask their ignorance should be of relevance to educators. We need to teach the truth of power to the young people who have entrusted us with their education. That is the education needed. That is the education we need to design for.

When i was younger, i wondered why the CEOs get paid so much compared to workers. I was told they make decisions. Now that the CEOs are using AI for decisions, can we finally fire the CEOs or cut their salary by 99%???

BREAKING: A judge refused to block a Kansas law that invalidates the driver’s licenses of transgender people and allows trans people to be sued for using public restrooms.
This isn't the final say, and we will keep fighting in court to stop this discriminatory law.

One answer for the lack of women scientists in faculty positions has to be the deeply entrenched misogyny among the tenured faculty!!!

An "education" should equip us with the knowledge, skills, and temperament to question people in power. But most schooling (at any level from K-12 and onto graduate school) is designed to push out teachers, students, researchers who actually are interested in education.

it is frustrating to constantly have to face people’s preoccupation with the morality of their own little personal actions with genAI; while the real harm is being borne by vulnerable people in various countries working as miners, data workers, and living near data centers, or mining centers, etc.

Anti trans laws are meant to actually control cisgender heterosexual men and women. Will all of you be silent until all your freedoms are gone? The pee-pot does not care about gender. Cruel people do!
1. Missouri appears to be forging ahead with 3 bathroom bans in public buildings across the state.
They heard 3 bills in a single night on the topic.
Lawmakers are worried that we could see what happened to Kansas happen there too.

How do you spot white supremacists writing on AI education? --> Look to see whether and how they are incorporating Black women's research on AI harms, social implications, and ethics.

As of today, Feb 26, Kansas has invalidated 1000s of trans people’s drivers licenses & birth certificates.
The new law mandates that identification docs must show the gender that was assigned to you at birth by some stranger who claimed to know you better than you know yourself.

If clothes are meant to hide our genitals, why do we need to announce said genitals to the world by coding that in the style of clothing? What else is "men wear this" and "women wear this" except as a public announcement of "i have a penis" or "I have a vagina"

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Such a hue and cry is made by some people that "bangla does not have gendered pronouns" -- umm, yeah, different languages encode the gender binary differently. Hundreds of places where Bangla reinforces the gender binary. So stop with the advertisement and confront the problems within our culture!
