Your Attention Is Sorely Needed

Both LIBERALS

and CONSERVATIVES are freaked out!!!

  • People are being “disappeared” to a brutal Salvadoran prison with no meaningful legal process, and the Trump administration says it wants to do this even to U.S. citizens.

  • A Maryland father was wrongly sent there despite a court order protecting him, and now the administration claims it can’t or won’t bring him back, defying Supreme Court rulings.

  • This signals an alarming power grab, where the president is testing if he can ignore the courts, vanish people beyond U.S. law, and potentially do it to anyone he labels a “criminal.”

Both LIBERALS

and CONSERVATIVES are freaked out!!!

  • CECOT is a prison in El Salvador designed for prisoners never to be released (i.e., don't care what happens to them)
    • Releasing this person would damage both US and El Salvador regime, because it is presumed the full extent of the cruelty, if known, would be scandal
  • Both leaders of El Salvador (Bukule) and US (Trump) are lying overtly
  • This could happen to any US citizen
  • This is the Trump administration writing a playbook to circumvent the rule of law which is the foundation of this country

Thank you OpenAI

Codex

  • Install using node: npm install -g @openai/codex
  • Go to https://platform.openai.com/api-keys to get API key
  • Export it: export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-api-key-here" (in a Terminal, or in a startup file)
  •  

We don't yet know what these tools are worth: You need to keep abreast and experiment to not be deprecated!
