I want you guys to understand something. There aren't 65 million immigrants in this country, but there are 65 million Latinos.
They're using the same language and tactics they once used against Black people and Indigenous people.
This is ethnic cleansing.

Here’s the thing.
If you don’t like the fun and the challenge of
1. Reading widely
2. Going to archives
3. Searching for new sources
4. Playing around with book structure
5. Writing and revising
Why are you even writing a nonfiction history book?
Fame? 😆
Money? 🤣

Lots of commentary on this piece already, all of which I agree with.
For historians, research is a fundamental part of writing.
To farm it out to AI changes the nature of this intellectual process in fundamental ways.
And as Stacy Schiff points out, it also takes all the fun out of it.

Columbia bylaws state that the president can only send police on campus to arrest protestors after consulting with the university senate. Once again, the president has neglected to follow these rules, which have been in place since 1968.

My 10 year old sister and I got Social Security payments after my father died from exposure to Agent Orange. It helped my widowed mom when the family lost his income. He paid into it his whole life. They even took it from his check while he was serving in Vietnam. Jeanine can go fuck herself.
Jeanine: We found out there are people who are between the ages of one and four who are getting social security
Jessica: That's the benefit for kids whose parents are dead.
