BREAKING: Two more federal courts struck down the DOJ's unlawful demands for voters' private information, this time in Nevada and Minnesota.
That makes the Trump administration 0 for 23 in these efforts to undermine our democracy.

Just spitballing now, but perhaps twice electing a second-tier carnival barker to lead our republic for eight years was not, in fact, the wisest path forward for a nation.

I don't see this said enough: the widespread use of generative AI is not only making our jobs as educators harder logistically, but also emotionally. It is genuinely sad to be suspicious of students when you have spent so much time building a pedagogy based on trust and not being a cop. It sucks.

Thanks to a FOIA lawsuit from @deportationdata.org, Minnesota is getting its first credible numbers on arrests during the federal government's surge here this winter. About 3,800 Minnesota residents were arrested. Most from Latin America (only 106 from Somalia). (1)

Hard to overstate how obvious this was in Minneapolis. They'd roll around the neighborhood in full gear, doing nothing immigration-related at all, wait for angry crowds to gather, and then attack them with tear gas and pepper spray! It was a violent siege and the feds owe us billions in reparations.
