The deportation order is based on Vedam’s conviction for murder—a crime he did not actually commit and for which he’s now been wholly exonerated. He entered the US at 9 months old and was a legal permanent resident before his conviction. We are so, so, so far from the light of justice.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

one single step that would do a lot to improve reputation of LLMs would be for Google to abandon AI Mode like they do with all of their other products

Every scammer knows that fear makes you irrational and likelier to turn off your judgment.

Today i ran into the other woman who fell & she is OK, still protesting too. Btw I guess cops think they’re gonna spend so much time on this roof, on a MUCH bigger building rumored to be new ICE facility possibly, that they bought a tent. It blew away halfway through the morning.

A tent on top of a building next to the ice facility in Broadview Illinois. There are cops in the foreground and next to the tent on the roof.

It’s just example # 486 of “reasonable nuanced critique of liberalism gets flattened to meaninglessness through a game of telephone”. Cogent critiques of aspects of respectability politics get turned into “it makes you a brave revolutionary to be the biggest asshole possible to everyone”

note that since mid-2010s you can always get a standing ovation in blue social media by denouncing the idea of civility or politeness more broadly. the experiment in how this has worked out keeps on yielding predictably unpleasant results

We live in a country where the government honors insurrectionists who sacked the Capitol, and defines peaceful protest, even before it occurs, to be terrorism.
They know their position is weak, they know they are unpopular, which is why they are seeking to stamp out dissent.
