This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

If you unilaterally decide a court order has no grounds and on that basis that you don't have to follow it, that is the definition of defying a court order.

WELKER: Did you defy the court's order Madam Secretary?
KRISTI NOEM: No. That's one of the things we continue to face in this country -- activist judges who are using radical decisions that have no standing and no grounds

Excellent thread on how bots decontextualize information, and why that’s especially a problem for students. Being 90% right 90% of the time is a mess if you can’t ever trace the 10%.
I phrased the search a different way and the bot happily gave the opposite claim also as true, once again connected to a different set of semi-credible sources. Among the other issues, then, is that we are dealing with de-contextualizing tools. Information lifted from its chain of reference.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Her big proposed bill in the state legislature would have ended grocery taxes in Tennessee and paid for it by stopping corporate tax avoidance. Perfect for the political moment.
