The technology trap Teachers and parents are calling for ‘devices down, eyes up, hands on’ learning.

AI is the most disruptive change maybe ever, certainly in my lifetime. AI, social media & addictive algorithms disrupt learning and harm kids' well-being. We have to act—to put up guardrails & boost engagement. The student-teacher relationship must be central. My column:

US set to launch tariff refund system on April 20 President Donald Trump's administration plans to launch next Monday the system it will use for ​issuing refunds to American importers for $166 billion the companies paid in tariffs that ‌the U.S. Supr...

The administration's failed tariff policy is a gift that keeps on giving. Companies were hit, the terms were unpredictable, and the public is stuck with the check. This kind of reckless policy is a direct attack on American families and long-term economic stability.

In 2023, Governor JB Pritzker was joined by Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton, Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias, advocates, and lawmakers at the Harold Washington Library to sign legislation outlawing book bans in Illinois.

Illinois made history as the first state to outlaw book bans once and for all.

Marginalizing people, ideas, or facts has no place in our state — and they have no place in a democracy.

This National Library Week, we continue our commitment to free thought and free speech.

Today's winner of the Internet. Congratulations!

Putin must be so proud of himself for the impact he has had on the U.S.

Red States Thought They Could Stop Abortions. They Ended Up Stopping Only the Lifesaving Ones. Abortion bans are failing.

Public safety requires rigorous training. So why is ICE cutting back? By Wayne Spence

"What saves lives are well-trained professionals who know how to react in every situation because they’ve been drilled by instructors and thoroughly trained to do their dangerous jobs in any scenario they may encounter." - Wayne Spence, @nyspef.bsky.social

Governor Tim Walz — "We are sick of this. A weak, reckless, Idiotic president just threw us into a war nobody asked for. No threat existed. No objectives were set. No exit plan exists. This is pure fascism." #cdnpoli

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice… Remember — While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions. Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it.”

Of COURSE he's insider trading. He's a crook, he's ALWAYS been a crook, he's using the presidency to make billions.

He ran to stay out of jail, to make money and to feel powerful, because that's what a narcissist like him gets off on. It was never about helping people.

Searing opinion from a federal judge on Long Island, who describes "police state"-like tactics by ICE to arrest peopleand draw up after-the-fact warrants.

He says DOJ is damaging its credibility with the courts by trying to shield ICE from scrutiny. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

Kyiv had a mass shooting a few days ago that killed 6. A country that suffers hundreds of drone and ballistic missile attacks daily and a single mass shooting horrified the country.

I don't think I'll ever get over Clarence Thomas ruling on cases related to Jan 6 knowing that his wife was an active participant in the attempted coup.

Or ruling on cases related to government regulations and a wealth tax knowing he took gifts from billionaires.

It's a disgrace.

China eyes near-total electrification of freight trucks to cut emissions China’s push to electrify heavy trucks could slash road oil demand by half, driven by cost, scale, and energy security.

Raskin’s bill would finally create the independent commission to make it happen.

This is one more real shot to protect the country. Tell Congress to pass it.

Clears it up a lot.
