when lawyers jump in to say “actually this bad thing the govt is doing is legal”, we (often) arent saying that the action itself is correct or moral but rather that there is no viable legal challenge. this is important information to any resistance efforts.

Ok, I actually want to use a language model for something, as an experiment. Is there a good tool online that will let me query a corpus of about 150 small English language text files (<200kb each)? I’d use google notebooklm except there’s a 50 document limit without paying them.

I know this is controversial but I don't think we need to pay anybody to assault senior citizens. We can defund this 100%.

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.

Important: Trump's suspension of deportation raids on agriculture/hospitality infuriated many inside WH, reports NYT. MAGA influencers also angry. Again, the real story here is that mass deportations have driven a schism in MAGA that Dems can exploit, as I tried to argue in the piece below.

More than 200 people remain locked in prison in El Salvador by the Trump administration, without any right to trial.

This is huge. The Trump administration wants to vastly expand the practice of shipping people to random countries they have never been to before, and are now making this part of a threat; either the countries accept taking third country nationals, or they get banned from visas.

Our unofficial crowdsourced estimate of yesterday’s protest turnout is rising to 4.2-7 million as we gather more data. At this point potentially the second-largest single day of protest in U.S. history! www.gelliottmorris.com/p/no-kings-d...

Listening to an interview of a woman whose husband was taken by ICE. It’s very like the family stories I heard about Kristallnacht, but without the broken glass, and spread out rather than on one day. People desperate to get family members back but no idea how, and opposition at every point.

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop! Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

It has been three days since Kristi Noem, the head of the department of homeland security, said this in public. If meant literally, it describes the end of democracy in California. If not meant literally, would be nice for that to be clarified and for the troops to leave. bsky.app/profile/just...

This is why Bluesky and similar social media is critical, since it is the only way people collectively got to hear about the diversity of experience happening across the nation yesterday. Yes, we don't get the diversity of Nazi opinions - but we have major media to ensure we get to hear those.

I go to bed tonight proud to know how many people are willing to stand up for what’s right — and how few are willing to rally for his hate. Night, all, and let us try to be good to one another — and ourselves.
