This is a level of blood libeling of immigrants (and their citizen children, being lumped in as 'illegals') comparable to the demonization of Tutsis in the time immediately preceding the Rwandan Genocide, or the libels against Jews in the buildup to the Holocaust.
Their intentions are clear.

pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

Yep. Drastically reducing the population of immigration judges at the same time they’re trying to accelerate deportations are not the actions of an administration that intends to continue to respect due process.
And of course this is in the context of the system being *short* several hundred immigration judges in the first place...
Great and important reporting here. But the administration has been pretty clear about how these judges need to rule in order to keep their jobs. So I think we’re well beyond perception of fairness.

I don’t know whether using AI makes people stupid, AI attracts people who are already stupid, or a bit of both, but stupidity is clearly a big part of it

Liberals: “We could try to DO some things to reduce gun violence; ‘thoughts and prayers’ isn’t enough.”
Republicans: “Outrage! Disgrace! They’re attacking prayer.”
There’s no need to be polite or defensive in response to this. Invoking faith as an excuse to shun responsibility deserves no respect.

For some I think it's pretty obvious people just don't like the idea rather than the word: "privilege" is a perfectly easy to understand ordinary language word whose activist meaning is just the same as the normal one, some kinda advantage. And there's, at least, no easy alternate for "patriarchy".
It would be a huge step forward for Democrats and for general clarity in political writing if these terms went away. These came mostly from academic hothouses.

We all understand that it’s not the words these awful idiots have a problem with, it is the concepts themselves? It’s not like they’re suggesting better terms they like. When they tell you they want to remove the words, they mean “here is a list of things we do not care about and will not address”.

Playing this game is just an incredibly vivid illustration of the fact that the marginal swing voter is the same in every developed country now, viz. “low education, low engagement, economically left-wing, rabid social authoritarian”.
I made a new game where you guess how people voted in the British general election of 2024.

Liberals' main pipeline problem is that they think joining their pipeline is a privilege for which one ought be grateful, not labor for which one ought be paid. "Just go do a PhD or get an entry-level journalism job!" Have you looked at the financial prospects for people who do those?
