Belatedly, this line from Weiss' memo is...something

Let's get someone who says banishing to CECOT was legit, she says

Here's the thing: There's a consensus among legal experts that *wasn't* legit

You can find someone who says moon is made outta Fluffernutter. Doesn't mean you should quote 'em

It's actually worse. The Supreme Court has held 9-0 -- Clarence Thomas and other executive power fanatics included -- that detainees rendered to another country via the Alien Enemies Act are entitled to a pre-deportation hearing. There is no legal debate whatsoever.

DOJ: Nothing suggests Donald Trump is a sexual predator.

ME (thinking): How could an adjudicated rapist, accused of sexual assault by dozens of women, who paid hush money to a porn star, who cheated on all his wives, and comes up 100s of times in The Epstein Files, possibly be a sexual predator?

The thing about Trump is that everything with him is exactly what it looks like. We've been through this before, with anxious liberals fretting that something or other is a clever double-fakeout. It never is. It's always just the thing in itself.
Given how news cycles work and the dynamics of the Trump propaganda/conspiracy machine, I don't find it plausible that the DOJ knowingly planted fake evidence against Trump in the Epstein files so they could discredit it later.

it would be cool if journalists put as much effort into policing themselves and their colleagues as they put into defending their colleagues from any and all criticism that are deemed to come from outsiders, regardless of the merits

2) when deciding if a clear rule is a GOOD rule, the absolute last thing you should be doing is crafting a rule and then looking to see if it excludes people you like and respect and frantically redrafting it if it does so that those people are eligible for your contest

So, SFWA is very much not my circus, not my monkeys, but here are my two general thoughts right now:

1) clear rules excluding AI-created content are important to hold the line, especially for publishers who would want nothing more than to toss their editors into the drink.

our emotional & practical survival over the next year is going to depend on us developing the emotional depth to say "hahaha fuck yeah, shit has gotten so bad that even [terrible person] is trying to save themselves" without being like "so they're not terrible anymore, maybe?"

NEW: For almost a decade, North Carolina’s majority-Republican legislature tried six times to strip Democratic governors of control over the board overseeing the swing state’s elections.

This year, it finally succeeded.

“It turns out that banishing the slur from public discourse was, in fact, important. Because now it’s back and it turns out that it does matter when subtext becomes actual text, when terrible people enable open hatred and bigotry, encouraging others to emulate them, degrading us all.”
Perry: The return of the r-word
"These days, the r-word slur has become a staple of the American right wing, uttered with few professional or social consequences," David M. Perry writes.

Also! It should be noted that the paper she was supposed to be responding to was NOT about trans people. She just went off on that tangent because she thought the paper was about that.

The US Department of Veterans Affairs has banned abortion for veterans, including in states that protect abortion. This was a Project 2025 recommendattion and it's now been fulfilled. So much for "leaving it to the states."

I've now watched the censored 60 Minutes report on CECOT. If you watched it too—and if you have any decency at all—I'm sure you came to the same conclusion I did: winning elections won't be enough; people like Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem will need to be charged and imprisoned.

The DOJ identified at least 10 co-conspirators who worked with Epstein and Maxwell. It’s obvious to anyone with two eyes that Epstein and Maxwell were engaged in organized crime, yet NO ONE ELSE involved in Epstein’s sex trafficking ring has faced criminal charges. Why?
