1. Being the victim of a scam can be devastating.
A reminder that nobody from @FTC will ever give you a badge number, ask you to confirm your Social Security number, ask how much money you have in your bank account, transfer you to a CIA agent, or send you texts out of the blue.
I want to give it up to this local TV reporter for doing some accurate reporting. It's a shame that he's such an outlier.

It’s an idea we’ve had for a while but it will take a little time to get the right perspective. Our sound engineer did record shows sometimes so it’s very possible. Thank for asking - it helps motivate me.

I wrote about Thomas Bradley, who signed up for a hotel shift via Instawork, a temp-job app. When he arrived to work, he saw he was being used as a strikebreaker. He joined the picket line, the app suspended him, and now the workers are striking over it. jacobin.com/2023/07/southern…

NEW: The conventional wisdom is that parents have grown increasingly furious with public schools. But it's actually people without school-age children who are particularly skeptical of public schools, multiple surveys show. chalkbeat.org/2023/7/25/2380…

This is a statement from two of the people who wrote Florida's new education standards on slavery. In it they give several names of people to exemplify slaves who learned skills they applied later in life.
Let's go through the supposed truth of this list one by one.
Want the truth on Florida’s African American History Standards? See statement below from experts who crafted them.
“Any attempt to reduce slaves to just victims of oppression fails to recognize their strength, courage and resiliency during a difficult time in American history.”
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This list is supposedly of enslaved people who "developed ... trades from which they benefitted" but nearly all of these people were either never enslaved, or never held the jobs described on the list.
Some examples:

This is such a clinic by @VaughnHillyard of how to do a broadcast interview — come with the documents, know your facts cold, and use it to call officials if they BS you —

I am very sad to report the passing of Jules Konopinski yesterday at the age of 93. He was the last surviving person who was a member of both the 43 Group and the 62 Group, and the last surviving of the 43 Group's great street fighters.
When Peggy Hill called Phoenix "a monument to man's arrogance", it was a temperate 111°.
"You can't know if I actually voted in both states; because of the secret ballot I might have just left everything blank!" is bravura work on the part of the public defender.

Ajit Pai is also the reason you can't answer your phone without it being Rachel from Cardholder Services or a call about your extended warranty. Glad to see he's taking a victory lap about how great his term was for the people he worked for.
