from Plato to Hegel to modern Christian fascism, those who defend tyranny and totalitarianism are always wrong.

Trump lied. His ICE is not going after the "worst of the worst" like he promised.
The vast majority of the people being taken are hardworking, law-abiding members of our communities. They are just trying to provide for their families and contribute to America.

Now that guy is running Trump's half-assed retribution program at DOJ
Bad. Lawyering.

Unsurprisingly, the first reason Maria Elvira Salazar gives FOX Business when discussing U.S. military intervention in #Venezuela is: OIL
Not people. Not the well being of the immigrants Trump is deporting BACK to Venezuela.
But oil.

🧵 I see a lot of misinformation floating around about excluding nursing from the professional degrees classification.
While it will not impact those of us already licensed, it will still impact the nursing profession.
It will also impact you.

AI quest is based on a flawed model. “The problem is that according to current neuroscience, human thinking is largely independent of human language —and we have little reason to believe ever more sophisticated modeling of language will create a form of intelligence that meets or surpasses our own.”
Is language the same as intelligence? The AI industry desperately needs it to be

New Paper: Presidential Control of the Civil Service.
Conventional wisdom holds that the civil service sits safely beyond the president's reach. Does it? (1) Not nearly as much as legal scholars think. (2) That's a problem for the execution of the law. 1/12

Bolsonaro spoke with him before getting arrested for tampering with his ankle monitor. Here is Trump saying he expected to meet him “in the near future” and was stunned he ended up back in jail.

Both Kyiv and Odesa were targeted heavily tonight. There are still some shaheds in the air. We probably won't know the full amount of damage until later today.
Air defense shot down a lot of drones and missiles. They are remarkable. Russia spends billions overwhelming them. Russia is dying state.

This is heartbreakingly cruel and hypocritical. The same admin that has redefined refugee status to cover white South Africans is now going to drown thousands of refugees already approved for their status in red tape, potentially even seeking to strip some of their status and deport them.
