Holy hell, even 9th grade social studies students could give at least a directionally correct answer to who's right habeas corpus is.
HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?
NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country
HASSAN: That's incorrect

When The U.S. Government Tried To Replace Migrant Farmworkers With High Schoolers
In 1964, a program that brought migrant Mexican laborers to the U.S. ended. So the U.S. recruited American students to pick crops instead. When they saw their living conditions, strikes ensued.

Not exactly artists, but close enough - Heidegger and Habermas. Being and Time is crucial to existentialism, but Heidegger was a Nazi. Habermas is fundamental to critical theory, but also called the cops on protesting students in '69.
Borges and Lovecraft
Here’s a question: who is the artist with politics you disagree strongly with, whose politics *do* (in your view) influence their art, that you still think is talented and whose work you enjoy?

I spoke to Joe for this story. I think he did a pretty good job.
Hello, I wrote this today and I think it's important context about data centers that people in Kentucky should know about, as utility companies and the legislature try to lure them here and justify spending billions on new power plants.
LG&E and KU are seeking PSC permission to build out $3.7 billion of power plants, largely due to its forecasted rise in data center energy demand. But critics say that demand is speculative and ratepayers could end up holding the bag, citing the failed Oldham County project.

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.
