If you haven't seen it yet, I snagged the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT before the Trump administration scrubbed it from the internet.

ICE and CBP, among others, have violently retaliated against ICE Watch in part because the agencies correctly understand what many do not: Organized neighbors are mounting an effective defense, and an organized movement is a formidable adversary. My new feature: newrepublic.com/article/2042...
Inside Chicago’s Neighborhood ICE Resistance
Residents have organized a formidable network to protect immigrant communities from Trump’s brutal deportation program. Their efforts are making a genuine difference.

I really think it's too late. He never should have been in the oval office. We have the Electoral College to blame for this. Frankly that EC never should have been adopted. A national voting system where every vote counts + a news media restraint from predicting outcomes before the closing the polls

Today I learned about 'model collapse' and wow, am I cheering it on
…because gen AI relies on an internet that is human-generated. If AI draws from AI data, it runs into a problem that’s now being called model collapse. The best knowledge currently available says that model collapse *will* kill the current generation of chatbots, we just don’t know when.

Remember: If it requires the deliberate and coordinated suppression of information by the scientists of the world to be true, it most probably isn’t.

Disability and poverty go hand in hand.

Anyone can become disabled at any time

It’s not a moral failing. It’s not something you can “try harder” your way out of, and it’s an expensive existence

You are much closer to being sick and unhoused than you are to being rich & secure

This is remarkable. Four giant dams on the Klamath River along the CA-Oregon border were taken down last year. This year, salmon migrated all the way to the river headwaters, a 300-mile journey from the Pacific to central Oregon, for the first time since 1909. A fantastic success.

At least 3,000 people who have been detained in Chicago ICE raids are missing from official DHS records.

We still don’t know what happened to the 1200 people who went missing from the Everglades facility.

They’re disappearing people.

No due process. No accountability.
Could ICE have 'lost' 3,000 immigrant arrestees in Chicago?
At least 3,000 jailed immigrants have vanished from federal records, according to human rights attorneys and organizations.
