Shout out to all the Germans in 1933 who muttered "oh my god this is unbelievably stupid"
This is just a concentration camp policy, they are detaining people they have no reason to believe are here unlawfully, for investigations they could do equally well without detaining people. It's detaining people just to be cruel.

Since popat is going on a thing, I would just like to say that I am very strongly pro 1A But free speech absolutism isn't a thing because we cannot all agree on a common definition of speech.....
Can we talk a bit about the terms “First Amendment absolutist” and “free speech absolutist,” and whether they have any agreed-upon meaning?

The ultimate problem here is that there's an entire class of political pundits like this who have cooked their brains on X and get their entire view of trans rights advocacy through an explicitly right wing framing, a result that was the explicit goal of Elon buying and manipulating the platform.

Q: The president just said on Truth Social it would be a 'big mistake' for UK to hold over control of Diego Garcia, but the State Dept said the US supports that handover
LEAVITT: The post should be taken as administration policy. When you see it on TS, you know it's directly from President Trump.

It's amazing how bad a brief looks even when it's 80 percent the way from an outline to a rough draft. It's really that last bit and the editing that makes a brief good

I agree that most self-described evangelicals are probably not reachable. I don't agree that this means we should cede religion to Republicans.

It would be really nice if AI could take my outline for my brief I just drafted and turn it into a well written brief so I wouldn't have to do it 🫠
Everybody answering the question in the headline is missing how terrible and banal the actual article is. "Here are the reasons liberals dismiss AI. I'm not going to refute any of them. What's wrong with liberals?"
