    Chat GPT strikes again! The last line of a student submission reads: &quot;If your instructor prefers a more personal, student-style response, this version should sound natural while still earning full credit.&quot; My response: &quot;The reflection would be stronger if it did not acknowledge in the last sentence that you did not write it yourself based on your own analysis.&quot; #CHATGPT #student #LLM

    “The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals...We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people.” - Dwight D. Eisenhower In other news: the US House just passed $1.15 trillion #military budget. https://www.msn.com/en-us...

    Over 100 data centers have been proposed on or next to Tribal lands. Data centers use up, evaporate, and poison hundreds of billions of gallons of drinking water -- and they’re often in drought-prone regions where Tribes already face water scarcity. Big Tech companies are endangering native communities by targeting Tribal lands and building racist biases into AI programs. Zam DeShields (Chickasaw Nation), calls this “an extension of colonialism.” #indigenous #datacenter

    WHO SUPPORTS ICE? SpaceX, xAI’s Grok chatbot, and the X social media platform: ALL ELON MUSK. SpaceX’s corporate PAC donated $589,000 to 63 members of Congress who sponsored or co-sponsored legislation expanding ICE’s power. Other consumer brands near the top of the list include Home Depot ($536,500 to 77 members), Walmart ($308,000 to 88 members), Toyota ($262,500 to 75 members), and Google ($257,500 to 48 members). #Boycott #MELTICE #USPOL

    To all the people who signed NDA’s agreeing not to disclose that #MitchisDead - the Republican Party is illegally defrauding the country, destroying democracy, and you are accomplices in that crime.

    Trump denies disaster aid to four blue states after approving aid to six red states. Even as the White House tells the public that “there is no politicization to the president’s decisions on disaster relief,” Trump has literally connected campaign endorsements to his approvals for aid requests, a move that has no precedent in American history. Our disaster relief should no be politcially based. We are all Americans, regardless of political orientation. #USPOL #trump #disasteraid

    #ISpokeWithMitchMcConnellToday and I am excited to share that his corpse has officially been granted a featured role in the new reality TV show &quot;The Walking Dead: Congress Edition&quot; co-starring Jordan Klepper. They travel around the country, filming McConnell with his death stare as Jordan uses poorly disguised ventriloquism to pretend McConnell is &quot;interviewing&quot; prominent figures and celebrities. #mitchMcConnell #DingDongTheMitchIsDead #McConnell

    Trump was politically educated in the 1970s and 1980s by Roy Cohn, the New York fixer who taught him how to attack, never apologize and turn every accusation back on his accuser. But before Cohn became Donald Trump’s mentor, he was Senator Joseph McCarthy’s chief counsel and one of the most notorious figures of the Red Scare, the movement that destroyed careers, blacklisted Americans, and turned the word “communist” into a weapon that could be used against almost anyone. #USPOL #Trump

    Trump has redirected taxpayer money from national parks around the country to his own projects, leaving the parks unable to make needed repairs or hire staff. Expected funding for more than 900 Park Service projects never arrived—including $424,000 to replace a guardrail on the edge of a cliff in Colorado’s Gunnison National Park that National Park Service employees identified as “a significant safety hazard for visitors.” (Courtesy of #HeatherCoxRichardson ) #NationalParks #Trump #USPOL

    Pew’s new 36-country survey put numbers to the freefall. A median of 23% express confidence in Trump’s handling of world affairs — below Putin, below Xi. Seventy-four percent disapprove of his handling of Iran. In Canada, the share calling the U.S. a reliable partner fell from 83% in 2022 to 35% today; in Germany, “considers our interests” cratered from 60% to 23%. The world will not trust America “for generations,” because America is the country that elected this twice. - ZEV SHALEV #TRUMP

    The government prosecuted nine of the ICE protesters at the July 4, 2025 Prairieland Detention Center. U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor sentenced eight of the Prairieland protesters to between 30 and 100 years in prison. In contrast, Proud Boys Enrique Tarrio and Oath Keepers Stewart Rhodes were sentenced to 18 and 22 years of prison for their roles in the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Trump pardoned and commuted those sentences, releasing both from prison. #Antifa

    The situation with the reflecting pool is such a symbol of the utter lack of understanding of ecological systems by the Trump administration. The reflecting pool is a public transparent example: they are making these kinds of decisions EVERYWHERE. Decisions that are equally horrifying, just not as visible or well known. For example, did you know that they are BOMBING the national forests with RoundUp? https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/04/roundup-glyphosate-spraying-forests-monsanto...

    Trump has stolen $8 billion in oil from Venezuela, with no oversight. He has just taken it and sold it, when oil prices are high because of his Iran war. He is such a grifter, and no one is stopping him. #Trump #Venezuela

    On Thursday, April 30, 2026, the U.S. House of Representatives will vote on whether to stand with pesticide victims or with Bayer-Monsanto, the company that poisoned them. Call the House Switchboard to be connected with your Member of Congress: (202) 224-3121. Ask them to support Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC)’s Amendment #301, which would strip all of the harmful pesticide provisions from the Farm Bill. #Pesticides #Monsanto #USPOL #Vote

    According to Judd at Popular Information, “Coachella is run by Anschutz Entertainment Group, a subsidiary of The Anschutz Corporation, which is owned by right-wing billionaire Philip Anschutz. Money from The Anschutz Corporation’s treasury, which includes the profits from Coachella, is funneled directly to right-wing organizations that support key politicians funding ICE, undermining LGBTQ rights, and restricting abortion.” #boycottCoachella #coachella #anschutz

    Trump: &amp;quot;we can&amp;#39;t take care of daycare. We&amp;#39;re a big country. We&amp;#39;re fighting wars. It&amp;#39;s not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all the things.&amp;quot; Meanwhile, we&amp;#39;re spending 1 billion dollars a day in a senseless war. Reminder: 1 Billion Dollars could buy multiple private Islands in the Bahamas or 27 years in the MOST expensive hotel in New York City. #WhatTrumpCan&amp;#39;tDo #YouareonYourOwn #Trump #Medicare...
