My daughter's school in Richfield, MN (adjacent to Minneapolis) is closing tomorrow due of out-of-control federal agents. Fourth graders spent the week building walls of snow at recess to protect their classmates from ICE. This isn't about immigration enforcement, it's about terror.

It’s no secret that AI models—including gen AI—tend to discriminate against racial and gender minorities. When government agencies start using biased AI to make decisions, real people suffer. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

As someone who likes to write earnest characters you want to root for, I couldn't agree more.
Not that we need everything sprinkled with sugar, but obviously there is a large population of the country that didn't realize they weren't supposed to root for the villains.
