Mayor Smiley promised us the “best run city in America,” and we are curious when exactly we’ll make progress toward that goal.

Here’s what he said when announcing his run for mayor in 2022, from a ProJo article by Amy Russo. ⤵️

This is notable to me because I've heard from some other lawyers that they're not worried about AI hallucinations because they only use the premium Westlaw or Lexis versions. Supposedly, they are limited to the real case databases

This clerk used Lexis+ and Lexis Protege and got 8 hallucinations

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Fwiw several people whose grandparents fled the holocaust to come to the USA made this exact comparison to me in Minnesota last week, saying this was what their grandparents told them about. The difference is that people in Minnesota have their neighbors’ backs.
my grandmother, an Auschwitz survivor, was Anne Frank’s neighbor in Amsterdam, and Oma thinks this comparison is perfectly apt
The Minnesota governor is getting widespread criticism for comparing children dealing with immigration enforcement to Holocaust victim Anne Frank.

Holy shit, there's an open carry #2A protest of ICE happening in Douglas County Colorado -- a very wealthy and very red suburb county of Denver. (I lived there for 16 years.) The Trump Administration pissing off committed gun owners sufficiently for them to join the protests against ICE is wild.

Sadly it's time. What a wonderful career of public service to the city she loves. Grateful she was my rep during my time I was in DC.
NEWS: Eleanor Holmes Norton says she won't run for re-election, ending three decades as D.C.'s non-voting delegate to the House.

"The privilege of public service is inseparable from the responsibility to recognize when it's time to lift up the next generation of leaders," she says.

There is a child across the street who was out shoveling snow & I was kind of impressed, until I realized she was dumping the snow from her sidewalk *onto the house's front porch and stairs* to construct a massive sled run from the front door. Now I am like "get that kid an engineering scholarship"

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process.

This is one that stands out:
