With the release of prisoners from CECOT, we have much to celebrate. The joy of their reunions with their families is a balm for the soul. But there is much work ahead to protect their rights and demand accountability and justice for those that inflicted this horror. My write-up on how we begin that process in the replies.

Last week, the U.S. Department of Justice recommended that a former police detective convicted of excessive force in the case of Breonna Taylor should serve a single day in prison. The judge in the case disagreed, and today sentenced former Louisville Metro Police Department detective Brett Hankison to 33 months in jail. Here's more from NBC.

New electrical panel is now in! Next up, new hot water heater (hybrid - bye bye gas!), then repiping. Still need someone to add a layer of drywall to a wall for noise abatement before I install my IKEA wardrobes for storage.

RFKjr had his brain eaten by worms...

@arstechnica Oh, and then there's the mercury thing too. 😂
@arstechnica science denier making health decisions. Embarrassing.
@arstechnica Adjuvants enhance the immune response to vaccines, meaning a smaller dose is required. We'd have known long ago if there was a problem with them.
@arstechnica Most of what RFK Jr says is "highly toxic"
