This is appalling. Again, Trump and ICE have had the option to deport Abrego Garcia to Costa Rica for weeks and weeks. They won't explain why they refuse to do this. But we know why: Because they've decided it isn't dehumanizing or cruel enough.

CBS News has these 2 stories online ...
Dec. 12: "Trump says leaders of Thailand, Cambodia agree again to stop fighting"
Dec. 13: "Fighting rages on Thai-Cambodian border despite Trump's ceasefire claim"
Which one is displayed on CBS' homepage? The out-of-date one that makes Trump look good.

Shocked to learn that despite 1,000 op-eds about how they are now a workers' party, Republicans are doing what they always do when they're in power
We have $ for a dozen ICE agents to hang around for hours trying to arrest 2 roofers working in MN.

Meanwhile, the agency that investigates and prosecutes violations of Americans' right to organize is shedding staff again. Now down to like 1 agency staff per 145,000 workers.

I mean this is literally Bovino just saying that if you're not white prepare to get harassed by ICE and CBP
Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

As Justin Reich wrote recently at the Chronicle, we don't know how to "teach AI." This is a complicated problem that it will take years and lots of experimenting to understand. Past failures are myriad and initiatives like Purdue's are falling into the same traps. www.chronicle.com/article/stop...

It's hard to overstate how impossible this demand is from Purdue's administration to implement these AI requirements by next fall. We are nowhere close to understanding what AI proficiency means or what it looks like in education.

The move goes like this: 1) we are right wing and we are Christian and we are loud, so everyone associates Christianity and being right wing, which leads to 2) Christianity *is* inherently right wing, which leads to 3) Christianity is whatever right wingers say it is. Same with the constitution.

It is revisionist history to say anything other than Trump’s coalition was built on old fashioned American racism.

He opened with “They’re not sending their best,” progressed to “shit hole countries,” and now we have pogroms in our cities.

Some may have held their nose, but they did vote for this.
Felt like I needed to show the president's anti-Somali speech because one day people will tell her it never happened, that these words were never said by the American president.

BREAKING: DC Circuit, on a 2-1 vote, stays the district court injunction that had blocked the Trump admin's anti-trans military ban.

The Supreme Court has already stayed another injunction, and this injunction had been "administratively" stayed since March, so there is no practical change today.

Wow.
It took a little time to pull all this data together, but I think it was worth the wait!

Democrats won 245 races in South Carolina last month❕

They won in some of the reddest counties in the state.

They won because South Carolinians are tired of Republican nonsense.

LFG!
