If the Dems who win in the 2026 midterms get squeamish about prosecuting this administration, we'll need to elect a bunch of new people running on Nuremberg shit for 2028. This isn't a joke. It's the law. It's justice. Biden let Trump back in the WH and this happened because Joe didn't do his job

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

I read it, Bobby. I donβt see either the article or the employee blaming the computer. What you quoted even foregrounds the cover-up of the human choice involved. Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
I said the article, not the headline, but okay
I donβt really think this article is doing that though! I think itβs still pretty clear in this piece that the military is going to hide the culpable person and that AI is a cover story.
I donβt know the pieces well, and certainly not the differences between the two versions. Are there recordings youβd recommend for comparison?
