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.
This is a truly horrifying memo. It says that the policy of the US government will now be to proactively seek out and arrest likely tens of thousands of refugees who entered legally under Biden and subject them to detention, where they will be interrogated about their status.

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?

I promise to try, to the utmost of my ability, to Be Respectful Of Other Opinions.

Let's talk more about how AOC said "um"
Trump: "Herschel Walker, speaking about loyal. How good a football player was Herschel? Now he's ambassador to the Bahamas. I don't know. Bahamas. Bermuda. Is he Bahamas? Whatever. It's a nice place."

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.

Guess the racist video was posted by John Barron.
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

TIL that while boycotts against Israel are anti-Semitic, not boycotting pro-palestinian businesses is also anti-Semitic.

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?"

This detention couldn't have been done without Columbia's complicity and support. If you are still a student or a faculty member at Columbia, why?
BREAKING: An immigration judge has *terminated* the Trump-Vance administration's efforts to deport Columbia pro-Palestine student protestor Mohsen Mahdawi.

Mohsen was first detained 10 months ago, when agents ambushed him at a citizenship interview.
