Armed ICE agents are moving through Puerto Rican neighborhoods with assault rifles, threatening residents who film them with pepper spray. In Villa Capri, a restaurant owner refused agents entry when they tried to enter without a warrant. Watch and share everywhere!

Remember: If your vote didn't matter, billionaires wouldn't be spending their fortunes trying to buy our elections. Stay calm, support good candidates, do whatever you can to get out the vote, and vote as soon as you can. Don't let Big Money win.

It happened to me in Texas, once with Talarico switching to Paxton. That was the only one too, so it wasn't a touch calibration problem.

Voting machines are owned by Scott Leiendecker, a Republican “operative”, fullbred GOP through and through, despite changing his hats claimed. Dominion Voting System is now Liberty Voting… and a very nice backdoor for Apartheid Boy Elon Musk..

ICE assaulted a US citizen, dragging him from his vehicle in front of his family and one-year-old daughter who were also inside the car in Donna Texas on Thursday morning.

🚨 NATIONWIDE VOTER ALERT! Reports from Tennessee raise an important reminder for voters in ALL states! 🗳️ CHECK every selection on your screen & printed ballot, if provided, BEFORE casting your vote. If anything is incorrect, alert a poll worker immediately! #Vote2026 #ElectionIntegrity #SheShed

Possibly happened in Canoga Park CA early morning Oct. 20th. So frightening. One person taken was in the middle of making a sandwich. People are just vanishing from our streets. I hate this Administration. Hate this country right now. Those who really should be locked up aren’t.

Need a reason to vote? Here’s one… When Dems take control of the House Oversight Committee, these are the investigations they say they’ll prioritize: 🔥 ICE and DHS abuses 🔥 Trump administration & family corruption 🔥 Epstein & justice for survivors 🔥 Corporate corruption #ElectionHeroesVoteEarly

His name is Thomas Teepell. Journalists maybe you could do your job with this information? @maddow.bsky.social

The “Tommy” shown in this viral video from Abdul El-Sayed is a former staffer for Sen. Josh Hawley and the son of a GOP strategist. For nearly five minutes, El-Sayed questioned the man about his understanding of the Constitution and the religious freedom it affords all Americans. Simply brilliant.

Update: about 4 hours later and we still don't have admin access so we still can't post to the No Kings instagram account. This isn't slowing down the the 3,000+ early vote events today. We will drive the biggest early vote in history. But this should be a flashing alarm about what's to come.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: No Kings organizer Ezra Levin SOUNDS ALARM after Meta suspended the movement’s Instagram during nationwide protests. LEVIN: “We might be seeing something similar from Meta in our country right now.” “We're not gonna stop organizing against this regime.”

Bye bye Insta

Anyone using Starlink or driving a Tesla should really rethink those things. Elon Musk is a fucking white nationalist Nazi. He doesn't deserve to be the world's wealthiest man. Hit these fuck puddles where it hurts them the most: Their bank accounts. That's the only way they measure their worth.

Bernie Sanders: "This corrupt, narcissist, pathological liar is a danger to working families. Senate Republicans still pushed through Medicaid cuts last summer and rubberstamped the rest. Your neighbors pay for that. Vote like it and bring three friends." #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

Oh great. Let’s teach a machine all about an individual’s health issues, but don’t worry about pre-existing health issues and insurance. The tech bros have your back.

there's an off-the-books slack channel started by centers for medicare and medicaid for tech companies to exchange ideas on making money off of AI tools that access all of your medical records. insane story i missed from last week.

For those who want to dive deeper into this data, Ed Next (journal at Harvard) has republished my essay on what I call The 50 Percent Problem, my *conservative* estimate of how many students are harmed by using AI. www.educationnext.org/the-penalty-...

educationnext.orgThe Penalty Students Pay for Using AITeenagers are willingly automating cognition and learning less. Adults seem unwilling to stop them.
Benjamin Riley@benjaminjriley.bsky.social

These are indeed the right questions. We have empirical evidence that strongly suggests the immediate impact of AI is seriously harmful to learning, and since learning is cumulative, likely will have long-term harmful consequences. (That purple area is the direct measure of harm)

This is so heartbreaking. When will this end? Why can’t those in power end this cruel and inhumane treatment? A complete nightmare.

Heartbreaking 💔 Children scream while masked ICE goons kidnap their families in broad daylight in Harrison, New Jersey.

I once was a huge advocate for technology in the classroom. Such potential… Now we write on white boards and paper. The computers remain in the cart. My students need to know how to write for themselves first, after that is accomplished… I can compromise.

Benjamin Riley@benjaminjriley.bsky.social

I published this in 2024. It remains as true today as it did then — though in need of a refresh on so-called agentic AI, which somehow manages to be even worse for education than chatbots. Free to download here: www.cognitiveresonance.net/resources

I LOVE how @propublica.org dealt with official comment here, editorially and stylistically.

Ken Schwencke@schwanksta.com

A year ago, @propublica.org told you immigration agents had detained more than 170 U.S. citizens. We’ve updated our count, and we’ve got all the receipts. The tally: At least 506 citizens detained. Sometimes held at gunpoint, handcuffed, or even deported. projects.propublica.org/american-cit...

Isn’t it illegal to use US tax dollars to pay for campaign ads?

Another recall because the products weren't inspected before being shipped to consumers. Can the USDA just hire back everyone they fired so we can get reliable food safety inspections again? Please?

The No Kings coalition wants everyone who is able to vote early. They will be preparing people to do so on October 17th, but early voting has already started in some states. If you are physically able & your state has early voting, please consider doing it for any of the good reasons listed below.

The Kennedy Center was financially stable until Trump took over: "In the fiscal year ending in 2024, when the center was led by President Deborah Rutter and a bipartisan board of trustees, it brought in about $40 million more than it spent" www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...
