That was a great clip with Sinatra. Our country was built by immigrants, not white people who call themselves Christians. If you want to find real Christians, look to our immigrants. They didn't come here to hate, they came because we told them they could and we would welcome them to a better world.

My female Afghan judges and prosecutors had to do this regularly for years, even during the 20-year American occupation of Afghanistan. And then the Taliban took over and killed many as we scrambled to get the rest out of the country. Sigh.
"One judge moved house. Another had to freeze her credit cards after a security breach.
Other judges have taken actions to adapt to the changing landscape by upgrading home security systems, changing the route they drive to work."
This is fascism. This is what terrorist intimidation looks like.

More than 100 pizzas were delivered to the homes of judges and their families this year, some with signs of foreign involvement. Judges say the message is clear: We know where you live.

You are painting a vision of a future in which teachers create lessons with "A.i.," students complete them with "A.i.," and teachers grade them with "A.i."
