Last night we learned that under the ‘leadership’ of Bari Weiss, CBS killed the CECOT story that was supposed to air on 60 Minutes despite five internal reviews, fact checks, and approvals. Why?

Because the Trump regime refused to grant an interview to be included in the report. This is what state run media looks like, and it is putting us all in danger.

I wrote a bit about the "one good use of LLMs" (namely, a bunch of different "one good uses") I keep seeing and why those aren't good, actually.

A lot of this boils down to "if you care about accuracy and learning, you shouldn't be using an LLM for anything".

So, 2025 marks the first year that the three year global temperature average has exceeded 1.5C....

And still our political class fail to take the issue of climate change & ameliorative actions seriously in any other way the rhetorically.

Words are cheap, but our lack of cohesive & comprehensive action(s) on climate change are becoming potentially ever more costly (if not to us to the next generations, who we are betraying).

CECOT has a max capacity of 40,000.

There are over 50,000 Black men in solitary confinement in the US today.

Black men are most likely to be falsely arrested and charged while 100% innocent. You can be in jail for over a year before your trial. During that time you can be forced to do slave labor.

If you refuse to do the slave labor while in jail for a year before your trial you can be put into solitary confinement as a punishment.

During this solitary confinement for refusing to do slave labor while innocent, you can lose visitation rights, and lose your right to access your attorney.

The Trump admin says that people can avoid CECOT by voluntarily giving up their rights to be in the US and self-deporting, even when there's no legal basis for deporting them.

All US admins say that innocent Black men can avoid the harms of prison and jail by "confessing" to crimes they didn't do.

This thread is not to minimize the horrors of CECOT.

This thread is to say that I wish more people knew about and cared about how many innocent Black people have had their lives destroyed by the exact same horrors.

This tears Black families apart.

As I've said before, racism is just fascism practiced on Black people first.🤷🏿‍♂️

Filling out my self assessment tax return, and here's one of the questions:

'Have you used one or more tax avoidance schemes?'

Is this how the HMRC plans to catch those sneaky billionaires?
