Dr. Damien P. Williams Wants A Better Sociotechnical Paradigm @wolvendamien.bsky.social · 2d

Federal Judges— or staff, but same-same— used "AI" to summarize & draft rulings, issued them w/o checking the work, leading to basic factual errors, & thus undermining the facticity & validity of the rulings entire.

Gee. Who Could Have Foreseen. *stares directly into the camera like in the office*

Two federal judges say use of AI led to errors in US court rulings

Two federal judges admitted in response to an inquiry by U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley that members of their staff used artificial intelligence to help prepare recent court orders that Grassley called "error-ridden."

So proud to kick off today’s inspiring, record setting No Kings rally in DC.

Twice the size of the first No Kings DC rally.

Nationally, the early numbers suggest today was the BIGGEST DAY OF PEACEFUL PROTEST IN OUR NATION’S HISTORY.

LFG. We have a democracy to save.

Really think the biggest win today aside from just numbers is negatively polarizing the regime of 12-year-olds into fully adopting #YESKINGS as their official stance.

Religion aside: Vice President Vance claims Scotch-Irish ancestry.

The Scotch-Irish, particularly in Appalachia, were known for their vehement opposition to monarchy and centralized power in general.

Most were Presbyterian, a tradition with a democratic, committee-based polity devoid of bishops.

It is a scandal totally unprecedented in history that the Vice President has shared a video depicting the President as king. It’s an obscene violation of every founding American principle.

And nothing will come of it. It makes me physically sick.

Essay: I was shocked to learn that a sizable subset of hardcore Swifties hate Taylor's latest album writes Joanna Weiss. Maybe it’s because they're viewing the new album, not just as a work of art — a work of fiction — but as a primary-source artifact in the Personal History of Taylor Swift?

Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast.

But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.

Understand what they are doing: using the massive power of the state - including military power and the power to imprison - to carry out a campaign to eliminate their political opposition.

It's growing in seriousness by the hour.

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Horrifying— Barbara Gomes Marques went with her US citizen husband and lawyer on 9/16 to a green card appointment at USCIS office in downtown LA where she was tricked into walking down a hallway away from them, was snatched by ICE and never came back. She now faces imminent deportation in Louisiana.

See, when we all collectively decided to stand up to fascism, we can push it back.

Our fate isn't inevitable. But it's up to enough of us to care enough, and consistently so, to prevent a permanent authoritarian fascist future.

🚨NEW: For the first time in history, the single largest group of people arrested in the interior and sent to ICE detention is people with NO criminal record.

As of yesterday's data release, 40%(!) of those arrested in the interior and detained by ICE had no prior conviction or pending charges.

Chart shows Detention Population, Among Those Arrested by ICE in the Interior, by Criminal Record. The chart shows three lines; Prior conviction, pending criminal charges, and no criminal record. From 2019 through September 2025, the largest group is people with criminal convictions, with much further down people with pending charges. But starting in January, those without criminal records spikes dramatically. In July it crossed pending charges and in the latest data it jumps above criminal convictions.
