The Trump admin is using AI to scan visa-holders’ social media for dissent. This is a flat-out attack on our first amendment rights, to satisfy their mass deportation agenda. America’s unions will fight to stop them from suppressing workers’ freedom of speech.
AFT is suing the Trump administration’s search of social media posts of visa holders for violating First Amendment rights. This surveillance program wrongfully seeks to coerce silence and chill the free speech of members by threatening to revoke visas. https://t.co/Phmf0BVnfw

It is a bitter irony that a project dedicated to advancing social justice in education would be cut back just months before a critical election that could shape the future of the U.S. education system. Read the full statement at https://t.co/g8aaDou3D3.
