I'm so personally upset about this. I did my Master's internship there (can recommend), and my number one entry for non law people for why the SCC is fun and interesting is the Santa outfits.
This is a great loss for the whimsy of our country!

what ezra doesn't seem willing to accept is that charlie kirk was part of a political movement that does not think that "we are going to have to live here with each other" and is fact very interested in the elimination and/or subjugation of many, many people
"All I can say for me in the work I do is that I want to create a space that takes our disagreements seriously, that takes the stakes of them seriously, the consequences for people seriously, but does so without deepening our divisions irreparably. We are going to have to live here with each other"

Scarborough loses patience with Mike Lawler after Lawler lies that Republicans didn't actually cut Medicaid: "Congressman, you can keep talking if you want to, but are you saying you know doctors' business, you know hospital administrators' business better than they know their own business?"

In library school, we spent entire lectures discussing the most successful ways to justify your existence to your funding organization or board. It's bleak out there for librarians
Eleven more libraries will reopen on Sundays, thanks to the leadership of the City Council. They never should've been closed in the first place.
As Mayor, I'll end this absurd budget dance that keeps our beloved libraries in limbo year after year.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Ms. Rachel had the same arc as Ta Nehisi Coates where learning the basic facts of the situation made her go “this is unambiguously wrong” and it freaks out the credentialists who think serious people are supposed to say it’s complicated

I am once again begging people to realize that the law is words on paper and is not self executing.
"That's illegal" is not and has never been synonymous with "that's impossible" or "that can't be done."
"That's illegal" means "you might get in trouble for that depending on who you are."

If you think that deserving human rights is contingent on whether someone has committed a crime or not, then you do not believe in human rights
Criminals are human and therefore have rights. This should not be up for debate

Since when do segments get cancelled due to “pushback”on factual content? 4 yrs after 140 newsrooms signed a collective letter against the harassment of their most vulnerable journalists that was ironically propelled by Rachel,me & Erica Ifill. What chilling message is being sent to journalists?
I’m devastated, but I’m also angry. I’m angry because this is an attack on press freedom.
If opportunities can be stripped from journalists simply because enough people repeat the same bad-faith narrative, how can anyone withstand the career impact of doing work that matters?

Trump issued an official memorandum on Friday night ordering AG Bondi to “sanction” attorneys who sue or oppose the positions of the federal government. As an attorney I must say no threat, even jail or death will override my oath to protect our constitution.
