Wrote a thing on the hot summer of uni AI adoption for @defector.com A huge thanks to @nathankhensley.bsky.social and @anniemcc.bsky.social. @brandyjensen.bsky.social is a legend. And anything smart in hear is thanks to hours of discussion, texting, and draft reading by @smosment.bsky.social

A lot of the work of justice is routine, ordinary & sometimes mundane. Care work is one of the most radical liberatory pursuits. Feminized labor is the backbone of all liberation struggles.

Every fight for justice is an abolitionist one - the movement for reproductive justice, migrant justice, climate justice, food justice, gender justice, disability justice, mad justice & beyond. Abolishing a carceral world blooms a multitude of freedoms for all of us.

Holy crap. The DOJ is arguing that the President can unilaterally deport anyone he wants without ANY statutory authority, just on his inherent authority as President over national security. That is a terrifying claim to make and not one that has ever been recognized before in US history.

Beyond the statute, the President’s inherent Article II authority is plainly
violated by the district court’s order. As a function of his inherent Article II authority
to protect the nation, the President may determine that TdA represents a significant
risk to the United States, that it is intertwined and advancing the interests of a foreign
government in a manner antithetical to the interests of the United States, and that its
members should be summarily removed from this country as part of that threat.

NEWS: DOJ asks the D.C. Circuit to "halt" the district court in response to this morning's TRO blocking the Trump administration from immediately deporting 5 men without any process. DOJ asks for an "immediate administrative stay" allowing the deportations. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

INTRODUCTION
On March 15, 2025, without hearing from the United States and relying on speculation about future Presidential action, a District Court lacking jurisdiction purported to halt the potential removal of individuals associated with a designated foreign terrorist organization ("FTO") and is setting the stage to potentially inject itself into all such removals nationwide at a hearing scheduled for 5:00 p.m. today.
A stay pending appeal is manifestly warranted, as is an immediate administrative stay.
The district court immediately enjoined removal of five anonymous plaintiffs who believe they will be wrongly identified as members of the FTO Tren de Argua ("TdA") and imminently removed. This Court should halt this massive, unauthorized imposition on the Executive's authority to remove dangerous aliens who pose threats to the American people. That order is immediately appealable because it commands the Executive Branch not to immediately remove plaintiffs, no matter whether the Executive Branch has identified compelling core national security and foreign policy objectives requiring removal.

So, for those of you not following, the 1952 code that gives the Secretary of State authority to deport anyone deemed a threat to national security, the one they're using against Mahmoud, was written in the heart of the McCarthy era, a way to target "communists" ie Eastern European Jews.

The ‘can machines do creative writing’ thing is mostly a distraction from the use of the machines to go through text and images to cancel grants and put people on deportation lists
