Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."
Sickening
damn -- CNN put together a video of Kristi Noem claiming ICE officers are "highly trained and skilled" and "gifted" alongside to a clip of them beating someone nearly to death in Minneapolis
New to @ssrn.bsky.social, I just posted the Forgotten Fundamental Right to Free Movement, 119 Nw. U. L. Rev. 811 (2025). In this, I argue that free movement -- intrastate, interstate, and international -- is a fundamental constitutional right. 1/7

Clear evidence that employers rate workers with foreign-sounding accents as having lower verbal and math skills.
This gap persists even when employers are provided with explicit performance signals.
Le programme TV pendant le communisme était juste incroyable.
