Texas NG has been doing border patrol work for years. They're asking for this as much as anyone in ICE is

and if the courts strike down the tariffs, they all have to be repaid

at the very least, if he doesn't veto them they will still become law. it will signal loud and clear what a piece of shit he is, but the laws would still be in place at least.

if you wear (or can wear) a hat like a cap, they make clips that attach to your hat that you can hook a mask to instead of hooking it around your ears

I tend to use the over the head elastics rather than the ear loop ones though for both fit and headache reasons

they don't for these purposes. CBP has extra authority within airports but it doesn't extend beyond them.

also, CBP has jurisdiction over the entire United States. the 100-mile zone is where they have extra privileges, like certain kinds of warrantless searches

Suspending Erin Biba, a Jewish woman for this skeet is nasty work. Between this and intentionally misreading Link’s use of a meme as a threat, bsky mods are more than willing to ban based on the Spirit Of The Law for *some* posters but never Jesse Singal.

"All the Jews have to die or convert to trigger the rapture. Then our dead bodies surround Jerusalem and they climb over us to reach Jesus, who will bring them to heaven. It's why they're all Zionists obsessed with Israel.
Cause they need Jews to go there so we can die"

I mean, Jay has been getting criticism for not banning singal since he came on (and was temporarily banned, before it was reversed and the TOS updated to specify only on-site behavior is covered by the TOS)

but like, taking criticism is part of the job. if you can't take it don't have a public acct

the vast majority of people here are twitter refugees who ducked out when it got too hostile for them at various points. this place only exists *because* its main user base was willing to leave another place

so... selectively apply their TOS to go after an account for actions that don't violate their TOS?

The very first statute authorizing domestic use of the military during domestic emergencies, enacted in 1792 by a Congress full of the same folks who wrote and ratified the Constitution, expressly provided for judicial review in certain circumstances *before* the President could even send troops.

moderation transparency doesn't exist outside of sharing email screenshots thru friends, which means it's very possible folks in the german cluster are being banned for saying "die lesbisch"

i need people calling LLMs sentient understand that it's so much worse if they're sentient.
i think LLM use is bad because it's an unethical and unreliable tool
your defense of your LLM use should not be that it's a living thinking being doing unpaid labor for you
