The United States had one of the worst COVID outcomes in the entire world from a body count standpoint. Anyone who argues with a straight face we were TOO cautious is an unserious imbecile.

We have no idea if it’s effective, but we do know it doesn’t cost as much as the things that are actually effective.

At a time when unprecedented political and financial constraints make it tough to enact proven systemic reforms, district officials are also betting that AI can take some pressure off administrators and teachers facing high burnout and attrition by helping them with tasks such as emailing parents and generating lesson plans. And they hope it can address declining US test scores and student engagement by customizing teaching material for each student’s needs and interests. Evidence is mixed on whether AI can help accomplish either goal, but in the meantime the financial math has been persuasive: Bringing AI into schools might cost a typical district from nothing to several million dollars a year, depending on the district’s size and the products used, compared with a much higher price tag for structural changes such as hiring more teachers.

Exactly, the entire argument for this narrative is that kids rarely die of COVID. That’s true, but it wasn’t the justification for the policy. Teachers *do* die of COVID and kids *do* spread COVID. Some studies find school closures were the most effective intervention for preventing cases!

The right is pushing this narrative because it’s the only place they can blame liberals — their actual goal — and gain purchase among elites. The *actual* mistakes during the pandemic all originate on the right: lax lockdowns, weak mitigations and low vaccine uptake

This ‘blue states closed schools too long’ narrative is becoming increasingly entrenched in the Polite Center but it’s arguable at best. Republican states had far more deaths during COVID and their students have roughly comparable learning loss.

What a cursed sentence (gift link) “The A.I. companies selected to oversee the program would have a strong financial incentive to deny claims. Medicare plans to pay them a share of the savings generated from rejections.”

It should never be easier to access a gun than a vaccine.

If you don’t know about Heather Honey, you should. She’s a national embarrassment, virulent election denier and now in charge of election policies for the US government. www.propublica.org/article/heat...

To anyone who’s like “so what if he is? Everything’s still fucked.” Hey, the Empire didn’t fall immediately, but blowing up the Death Star was still AWESOME.

It's 2025. We have actual concentration camps, and a white nationalist setting US immigration policy, and the majority of white people surveyed say that they support how Trump is "handling immigration."🤦🏿‍♂️ And I *still* have white folk in my mentions saying "I don't think that many support it? 🤡

Every time your electricity bill goes up for the next 10 years, it can be traced back to this Administration’s actions. They are making solar and wind power illegal to build in the United States. They are artificially restricting supply while demand is going up.

Something blue states will need to explore: how to create cross-state compacts dedicated to a functioning government as the Trump administration walks away from it's responsibilities.

It never happens with GOP, but too damn often in our party folks try to build themselves up by tearing Dems down. You can demand better from us without pissing all over the house we’ve built together. I’m sick of it. If you make a name for yourself by trashing the party, I’m calling you out.
