Slate’s first example of this supposed sea-change among Democrats is Rick F*ing Wilson?!
RW is against Trump. Great. But we should never give him an inch of a platform to speak from, because his soul is still poisoned with the stuff that grew Trump in the first place. Like fat-shaming and ableism.

No. This guy isn’t even a Democrat and fat-shaming is not what people mean when they talk about ‘dark woke’ or ‘woke 2’.

You misspelled “abolish.”
Truly, House Democrats, if you lack the moral courage to say that an agency that terrorizes families and kills people should cease to exist, then at least listen to your constituents who do have the courage to respond to this crisis.
ABOLISH ICE.

House Democrats have been clear: ICE should operate just like any other law enforcement agency.
Reform ICE now!

Suppose you have a genus-2 curve C over the complex numbers. Sometimes such a curve will have a degree-n map to an elliptic curve E. Such a map is *minimal* if it does not factor through a nontrivial isogeny F → E.

A lot of political actors—Democrats, Republicans, donors, media executives—would prefer this wasn't happening, because it requires, demands, necessitates a response that's entirely outside their experience as Americans.
But it's here. It's our present, not our future. It has arrived.

The senator is under the impression that when newspapers report on hundreds of thousands of people yelling “F*** ICE,” the F*** is short for “Funding withheld without guardrails and training.”
I won’t support additional funding for ICE unless we put guardrails in place to make sure ICE is better trained and actually focused on making our communities safer.

It’s pretty rich that the people who fulminated at the idea of content warnings in classrooms are saying that their leaders are delicate flowers whose sensibilities might get bruised by people telling the truth.
House Oversight hearing on ICE opens with the rules:
"It is also a clear violation of the rules of the House to make statements that might personally be offensive to the President or the Vice President of the United States."

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

An additional note: I was curious about what NYT story Soon-Yi Previn might have been talking about, and I think this one (posted online the day before her email) fits the bill.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

I am thinking that it might be good for academic publishing if we academic authors, in all fields, made a list of publishers who use AI in their journal and book production.
And then boycott them all.

In the middle of my second awful experience dealing with a journal that outsources its production to Straive.
Straive is the name of the company that provides publishers with these AI tools, so you might want to watch out for that name when you’re considering where to publish.

You want to know how bad the use of AI tools in publishing can be? This is a case where you definitely must read the comments.
Predictably, publishers have made partnerships with AI companies to handle production. And even more predictably, it's not going well AT ALL.
You can and should choose a publisher based on their operational ethics. @leverpress.bsky.social is platinum OA, library-funded, and we *do not* use AI.

Judge Reyes starts with a comparison: George Washington versus Kristi Noem.
![[start quotation] MEMORANDUM OPINION
On December 2, 1783, then-Commander-in-Chief George Washington penned: “America is open to receive not only the Opulent & respected Stranger, but the oppressed & persecuted of
all Nations & Religions.”1
More than two centuries later, Congress reaffirmed President
Washington’s vision by establishing the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program. See 8
U.S.C. § 1254a (TPS statute). It provides humanitarian relief to foreign nationals in the United
States who come from disaster-stricken countries. It also brings in substantial revenue, with TPS
holders generating $5.2 billion in taxes annually. See Part VI.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem has a different take."[end quotation]
Underneath is a screenshot of a tweet, which reads: " Secretary Kristi Noem
@Sec_Noem
I just met with the President.
I am recommending a full travel ban on every damn country that's been flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies.
Our forefathers built this nation on blood, sweat, and the unyielding love of freedom-not for foreign invaders to slaughter our heroes, suck dry our hard-earned tax dollars, or snatch the benefits owed to AMERICANS.
WE DON'T WANT THEM. NOT ONE.
