The only response here is a motion to enjoin the whole operation

If the government's position is "I'm sorry your honor but we don't be the capacity to both respect constitutional rights and conduct the operation as it is currently being conducted" the answer is "then you must stop the operation"

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

It’s great for a writer who wants to make a chart and terrible for a data analyst who wants to write a paper.

But the inventors of it really want it to be the other way. So they insist on selling it as if it’s the other way.
I am very open to using technology to make my work better and I get a lot of support with my coding from LLMs

but I have found they suck ass at writing, they have the voice of 20 mediocre thinkers smushed into a thin slurry of overused transition phrases and so I write my own words 100 percent
Maybe it will help a _little_ if I and others like me start saying publicly for the record that we just don’t use ChatGPT.

Writing can be really hard — organizing a piece of writing can be especially hard — but I don’t use ChatGPT.

If you read my stuff you’re reading something an LLM can’t do.

it's hard to find a motivation for DOGE other than 'hatred of the good.' these are bad people fundamentally envious or un-understanding of the idea that you might work or give for others, and attempting to punish it.
NEW: i spoke with several young AmeriCorps volunteers around the country who were abruptly pulled off projects building homes, readying forests for wildfire season, and working at food banks Tuesday afternoon. they are now on their way home thanks to DOGE cuts —
DOGE Cuts Pull AmeriCorps Volunteers Off of Disaster Relief Jobs
The youth volunteers who were working on projects ranging from rebuilding homes destroyed in storms to distributing supplies for hurricane recovery were suddenly pulled from service. Why? DOGE cuts.

One of the defining feelings in American life, for decades now, is elites doing plainly criminal shit and nothing at all happening as a result. It is deranging in a way that virtually nothing else is. Media fixates on perceived street lawlessness but shit like this matters much more in my opinion.
