Also a pretty good description of successful habeas lawyers:
Learned a scary fact during a CLE about AI evidence last week: In 2023, AI failed a bar exam in the lowest 10%; four months later, it passed in the highest 10%. (Don't know which platform.)
Many people claim AI is “hype,” but the fact is it—along with the algorithms and machine learning they rely on—is potentially more dangerous than nukes to humanity.

Just who tf are these people? Reagan and welfare queens redux—only more unfounded, misleading, and shameless.
Ag Secretary Rollins: "The good news -- in just one year alone, we've already moved 4.5 million people off of SNAP. So this idea that once a government program is in place you can never roll it back, President Trump has proven that to be wrong. So we're going to be pulling more and more people off."

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

The gun people say Americans need guns to defend against a tyrannical government. A guy with a legal gun shows up to confront a government acting tyrannical, and the government shoots him dead because he had a gun. Make it make sense.

Frey: "You cannot drag pregnant women through the snow. You're not allowed to take teenagers out of their car and detain them when they are in fact American citizens. That is against the law in every state. That is against our US Constitution."

Let me get this straight: An indicted war criminal nominates a convicted common criminal for the Nobel Peace Prize on the basis of a bombing raid that was an unprovoked and illegal act of war.
Peace is war; war is peace.
Tinkles, a bit, the Vietnam bell: We had to destroy the village to save it.

A lot like each jury, maybe even each juror, having to define "reasonable doubt"—and what is beyond it—for her-/himself.

When I asked a former Air Force missile-squadron commander if senior officers could refuse the order to launch nuclear weapons, he said: “We were told we can refuse illegal and immoral orders.” He paused. “But no one ever told us what *immoral* means.”
America’s nuclear weapons are under the sole authority of the president, @radiofreetom.bsky.social writes. Does that system still make sense?
