This piece barely begins to describe the unprecedentedly deep and broad corruption permeating the criminals (families/cronies/etc) who run the US government. Yet it provides far better context than most of what we've seen from Big Journalism on the subject.

I am attending the #ATLIS2026 Conference this week and excited to catch up with #edtech colleagues from around the world. I’m even more honored to have been asked to speak on a panel with Louis Tullo and Joaquin Infante to discuss data system integrations!

Maybe I’ll see you there?

For the same price as Donald Trump's $1.5 trillion military budget, we could send every Black American $35,000 as reparations and still have money left over.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/44013765 [https://lemmy.world/post/44013765] > Some folks around Portland are starting to work on a large gear library for youth skiers. The goal is to offer cheap, seasonal rentals of skis, boots, and poles to skiers around the 5-12 age range. If you have waxless classic skis, poles, or boots for young skiers and would like to donate them, please contact Nonstop Nordic [[email protected]].
