🚨 BREAKING: X's updated Terms of Service take effect TOMORROW. Pay attention to the AI clause:

Vouchers (despite voter rejection) and attacks on vulnerable students—from K12 through higher ed. And the billionaires I write about in The Privateers will have their say. I talked to @TIME about what the new Trump term means for education. time.com/7174651/what-t…

Luckily, I know how to file a FOIA; otherwise, my dad’s whereabouts following his ICE custody would still be unknown after four days. As someone who can navigate the system, I can't imagine the struggles of those who can't.

Please watch.

Your questions answered about the new Chicago School Board... including can the current appointed members stay on past January? Yes. Can the mayor appoint the CTU-endorsed losers? Three of them are eligible. wbez.org/education/2024…

NEW: Cook County judges E. Kenneth Wright Jr and Shannon O’Malley referred to disciplinary board following our reporting. Both are facing a close retention election with O’Malley narrowly losing as of this afternoon and still many ballots to count. injusticewatch.org/judges/judicia…

Some immediate steps I believe that all trans people should take: - Get your passport. Today. It takes time to come in and this will likely be shut down under Trump. - Update every ID your state allows you to. - Make sure you have a supply of medication in case of disruption

Wonder if Chi school board election results would be different if candidates weren’t reported about generically as “charter” but more truthfully threatening to public education? “This candidate will vote against strengthening public schools & give public $ to private schools”

A small bright spot in Florida, which has not gone well for Dems tonight. Stacy Geier, the Moms For Liberty candidate for Pinellas County School Board, just lost. She ran on book bans.

me at 6:45 pm: eh the results tonight can only stress me out. prob just gonna ignore them entirely :) me at 9:45 pm: WHERE ARE THE REST OF THE VOTES FROM MECKLENBURG COUNTY NORTH CAROLINA

I’m so sick of the six inbred children of the corn deciding if we live or die. Abolish the electoral college!!

BREAKING: Maryland voters have enshrined abortion protections in the state constitution.

Hearing of possible issues already with Champaign county voting as “systems are down”. My wife is at a polling location in Mahomet and was told this by the election judge. People are standing around waiting, some have left as they can not wait around.

Republican mega-donors, the Uihleins, asked their employees who they will vote for in a purportedly anonymous survey in the swing state of Wisconsin. Some @uline workers were angered by the privacy infringement. theguardian.com/us-news/2024/n…

@48thNeighbors Yeah, that tracks. 🧵 x.com/jenbotjones/st…

Can you believe people thought this Bruce Leon fella was a Republican

@dontlookmeup10 Same!

@jenbotjones I swear I had this exact one.

If you’re looking for me on Tuesday night, this is where I’ll be.
