Reminder: during the most riotous parts of the George Floyd Uprising the movement was at its most popular, with the destroying of the 3rd precinct polling much higher than either presidential candidate, and it was only after months and years of revision that ppl talk like they werent

This new policy basically means all immigrants have no due process rights and can be detained indefinitely. Once again like the student detentions and like CECOT, the Trump administration is using immigration detention, which both parties built up, as a testing ground for its authoritarianism...

Exclusive: The Trump administration has declared that immigrants who arrived in the United States illegally are no longer eligible for a bond hearing as they fight deportation proceedings in court, according to documents reviewed by The Post.

it’s almost like teeth gnashing about political correctness is just being a nazi

Annnd @xai just deleted Musk's new prompt which told the Grok LLM to "not shy away from making claims which are politically incorrect, so long as they are well substantiated." That prompt seemingly caused the LLM to become Nazi 4Chan, and has now been deleted, but other recent changes remain.

My non-data-scientist guess is that by telling it not to be "shy away" from "politically incorrect" comments that are not "supported," the model has metaphorically unlocked 4Chan from the box marked "do not emulate." After all, it was trained on the internet, and 4chan produced a lot of "support."

Sweeps are not only inhumane - they also make it harder for people to be rehoused. Their documents are taken, their medications, the precious items that connect them to their history and identities. Sweeps worsen mental health and destabilize people, making them more vulnerable.

ProPublica@propublica.org

We asked people who lived in homeless encampments that were cleared out in city “sweeps” to write about what object was the hardest for them to lose. “They took my baby pictures and my moms obituaries,” a 29-year-old in California wrote.

just so we’re all clear: the reason they keep using dolls as their example is because they’re trying to frame caring about material stuff as feminine and thus inherently shameful

Bessent says that little girls who are sad about having fewer dolls should just have it explained to them that they will have a better life for it

Don’t look away. This is what Libya’s migrant detention facilities look like. This is what Trump is doing. Amnesty International called Libya’s migrant detention centers a “hellscape,” where beatings and sexual violence are rampant and there are many reports of trafficking and even slavery.

The New York Times@nytimes.com

Breaking News: The Trump administration is planning to send a group of migrants to Libya, in a sharp escalation of its deportation program.

Texas conservatives who've championed book bans & anti-LGBT policies suffered big losses tonight in school board races. And They seem to have lost their working majorities to pass their policies in big school boards. I tracked these results in FOUR boards tonight. So a 🧵 on each ICYMI.
