Kilmar Ábrego García was tortured in Salvadorian prison, court filing alleges

While being held at the so-called Terrorism Confinement Center (Cecot) in El Salvador, Ábrego García and 20 other men “were forced to kneel from approximately 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM”, according to the court papers filed by his lawyers in the federal district court in Maryland.

Guards struck anyone who fell from exhaustion while kneeling, and during that time, “Ábrego García was denied bathroom access and soiled himself”, according to the filing.

Detainees were held in an overcrowded cell with no windows, and bright lights on 24 hours a day. They were confined to metal bunk beds with no mattresses.

Trump’s All-Out Assault on Science Constitutes a “Mind-Boggling Own-Goal”

“Before Trump, the review process was based on merit and impact. Now, it’s like rolling the dice because a DOGE person has the final say,” said one current program officer.

so when he said now it'd be all merit as excuse to attempt to turn DEI into a slur was also just a confession of what he's against? everything is the opposite with him just like when he says he wants to help Ukraine then do the opposite or with the other million things he has backtracked so far..

i also wish for that but i think Friendica/any Facebook-equivalent security and privacy wise for its particular use case would be better if many people started their own instance for their own circle of friends IRL, but how to get to that is a big mystery to me, however its good seeing it being brought up more often to raise awareness of Friendica around the fediverse so thanks for doing it
