I only get one pick from each category. The deliberation session is sweaty and hours long and leads to friendships forever broken. But we come away with a list of some things I thought were cool. So. Worth it.

i think to understand the meaning of the birthright citizenship clause to the framers of the 14th amendment, you have to understand significance of dred scott to the civil war republican party. dred scott wasn't just a bad ruling, it was understood as a rejection of the declaration itself.

every trans person i see post about the OU suspension knows that the suspended target is trans & a grad student, & has an innate awareness that this is about purging trans employees. every cis person i see thinks the target is a rando professor & that this is about giving conservatives good grades

The weirdest thing about llm/education people are acting like doing paper exams, a thing I did when I went to college less than a decade ago (graduated 2019) is some radical idea that would completely reshape education

I was 22 in 2016 and my high school teachers taught us as a matter of historical fact that Richard Nixon was the greatest president in American history
I was 28 in 2016 and this is an insane characterization of what growing up as a white man in my cohort was like. Demonstrative of how out-of-touch the cultural right is with actual American life www.theredneckintellectual.com/p/right-wing...

I'd love to see a movement in left legal circles to locate the immigration power in the commerce and necessary and proper clauses, rather than being inherent to the sovereign, and thus subject to all the normal constitutional restraints rather than our weird weird quasi-constitutional system
An essential reform after we overthrow the fascists is complete reformation of the immigration judicial system into something that's governed by law and reason.
The idea that she is a “danger to the community” is patently absurd and dangerously racist. Free her now. Arrest her kidnappers.

the fact that there are many details in the report that are just observably false is a good reason news organizations could, if they wanted to, deny it the presumption of proof and cover the president's health as if it's a scandalous question

The Trump administration is engaged in something much worse than book burning. It is attempting to burn down the entire cultural infrastructure that supports the pursuit of history.

This isn't anti-DEI - it's retelling history as a story with only white men in it. The tale of the Navajo Code Talkers is essential to understanding the Allies' victory in WWII. Removing it because the people involved were non-white is segregationism.
