![KABAS: So many comparisons have made between the current state of US immigration terror and Nazi Germany in the 1930s, and I've seen some say that kind of seeks to absolve this country of its own history of racial terror and genocide. In the hearings this week with ICE and CBP and USCIS, you said you have “no respect for inheritors of the Klan hood and the slave patrol.” How did it feel to publicly and explicitly draw that connection?
REP. RAMIREZ: I knew that I was going to make them very uncomfortable. I'm not talking about just the DHS directors there—I meant my colleagues on the other side of the aisle. And I say this often, ‘Courage is not the absence of fear. It’s the willingness to act despite the fear.’ I'm a little scared [in that moment], because if I'm being blunt with you, every time I speak there's a death threat. And yet I thought it was so important, as a daughter of immigrants, as a proud representative of Illinois-3, as someone who has been calling out what they do, to be able to look evil in the eye and call them what they are.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ejihld4sywvvqwe67cdkn4jq/bafkreieyek3u7oka3cei3fdsxn2u7wyxj64s6uxl5kk7dx5zuu3wqr4vue@jpeg)

Any medical mask will work better than sunglasses. Not that im saying not to wear the fake glasses, but hiding your jaw and mouth will do that better.

In 2016 we were going to automate truck driving and put drivers out of jobs in 10 years with self driving trucks.

You’ve got to have a good grounding in the humanities to be able to use the technology the way it’s meant to be used. Which is absolutely not the way they’re teaching people to use it in schools.

My partner manages a bunch of AI shit for a Fortune 30 company. He’s been doing this sort of thing since AI started being a thing.
His answer is that those kids are going to be the ones who are going to be the best at using AI. Because you have to understand what it isn’t to use it well.

You could ask her what her favorite animal is. à la Mamdani and the snake.
