Thank you, Jessica. I just joined the Chester County chapter of Indivisible. I really think we need masses of people in the streets, mainly outside our congresspeople's' offices and the US Capitol. They've abdicated their power to the executive branch and are not providing the checks so desperately needed now.
WELCOME! We DO need people in the streets, every day. I was so thrilled that when DOGE was going to WEST VIRGINIA to go steal more data from a facility, hundreds of people took to the streets, and the criminals didn't get the data!
Yes. Sign up here, https://indivisible.org/ and you'll get invites to the national meetings. You can also find your local group under the "Join the Movement" drop down. Different local groups have a variety of programming - some Zoom, some live.
Afraid the best I can do is share as much info as possible. I’m a home bound, legally blind, female disabled vet. Fit almost all the categories they are after.
First - what YOU can do is what YOU can do. And your commitment to getting the word out COUNTS! THANK YOU! And THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE! (Really, thank you a lot!)
Not everyone can physically do what others can. It's especially important that those who can be in the streets are there for people like you who gave dedicated service to protect all of us so that they have the opportunity to work to protect you.
Maybe some day some day some GOP U.S. Reps and Senators will see that their Nation is being destroyed brick by brick, overcome their fears of primary opposition and join their Democratic and Independent colleagues to vote the Fascists down. Then again, the Chiefs were the favorites to win the Super Bowl.
Number One -- the EAGLES were MY favourite to win. Just sayin' - I'm very into good triumphing over evil. And the Eagles are a DEMOCRATIC team from a sanctuary city who refused to go to the White House in 2017 the last time they won. And you must remember all the days when I was a kid, with your sons using a board with Xs and Os to try and explain football to me, consistently unable to make ANYTHING football stick in my brain. They tried hard. I'm still clueless, but I understand politics.
There is going to be legislative movement, and they have a real chance over the next few weeks IF they are smart. I don't know how smart they are, but the Wednesday post I'm writing now lays out the playbook (look, unc, a sports metaphor!!!!) <grin, wink>
I looked you up on Linked In and can see your commitment to research and legitimate outcomes of said research.
While the AI response is more balanced than the sources you site, I still hate AI.
However - I thank you for reminding me about Serbia because I can see a good way to incorporate the information into Action Item posts -- it wasn't high enough on the radar.
Here's my academic question for you: my niece is a college student, and she's very smart. She does her own work. She objects to others writing entire essays/papers by putting the question into a chat bot, followed by a humanizing chat bot - and then they turn it in. I am interested in whether you think that this process teaches anything to the students, or does it just encourage them to take "the easy way out"?
As for education -- I'm OLD. We used to WRITE our papers. We took our exams using blue books. When a professor evaluated us, they knew it was OUR work.
Freshman year in college, I attended "Survey of Geography" (taught by the late, great, Gerald Karaska) - the final (which I will never forget) described an island. It's size, soil composition, various physical characteristics. Then, you had to explain how many people lived there, what they did for work, what their houses were made of, what they ate, whether they communicated with other islands, and if so, how (boat? smoke signals?). The Bonus Points were for knowing which direction the gyre went in the ocean.
To pass that test, you had to own the knowledge of the whole semester. You needed to understand the hierarchy of societal development, what could be made from "what you have", and draw conclusions based on knowing more about soil classification systems than I, personally, ever wanted to know.
The students in the class were going to be urban planners, for the most part. This sort of base knowledge is critical if you want to build a city.
AI could provide information on, say, gyres, but cannot inform how to think critically, and apply the knowledge.

Will hold my breath until Wednesday .....

Are you trying try and convince me that AI is worthwhite or do you want me to know about what is going on in Serbia?

Look for Serbia this week. May I cite your post?
