Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Yes! This is so important! Machine Learning is doing wonderful things like mapping Martian craters and analyzing microbe genomes. LLMs are a very specific form & it’s them doing these huge amounts of harm. I also sometimes say “Gen AI”
when I mean both LLMs and art generators; I try to never say AI

Scientists are primed to see society's challenges as technical problems - if we can just get more information, we can fix it

But climate & nature are political problems not technical ones, and a technocentric mindset seems to hold scientists back from engaging politically or changing behaviour

Fossil fuel lobbyists outnumber all Cop30 delegations except Brazil, report says One in every 25 participants at 2025 UN climate summit is a fossil fuel lobbyist, according to Kick Big Polluters Out

The point of all these COPs is to stimulate action on climate change

Action on climate change means ending the burning of fossil fuels

Why give the biggest seat at the negotiating table to the people trying to stop the negotiations from being successful?

I love this! 💚💚💚

Imagine the leaders of any of the other parties attempting this without making you cringe so hard you break your toes.

In 2020 @wwf.panda.org identified the 100 global cities expected to suffer the greatest rise in water risk by 2050- home to at least 350 million people!

We've already seen several megacities just days away from running dry.

Here's a🧵 with eg's

Drax still burning 250-year-old trees sourced from forests in Canada, experts say Exclusive: report by Stand.earth says subsidiary of power plant received truckloads of whole logs at biomass pellet sites

#Drax still burning 250-year-old trees sourced from forests in Canada, experts say - www.theguardian.com/business/202... stop these obscene subsidies

Drax still doing what Drax does: burning old-growth forests in order to be Britain's no. 1 producer of CO2.

Drax still burning 250-year-old trees sourced from forests in Canada, experts say Exclusive: report by Stand.earth says subsidiary of power plant received truckloads of whole logs at biomass pellet sites

Our idiotic and incompetent government has just agreed to pay more than a million £ a day in support of the continued destruction of ancient forests to feed the Drax power plant

Pure insanity

This is, by some distance, the longest and most expensive legal letter we've ever sent. It involves a team of multiple KC and junior specialist environmental barristers. It's taken us 18 months to draft and has cost us a substantial six figure sum.

Wow.

The Greens are not just SECOND in this poll.

They're now 3 points ahead of Labour - who are fourth.

Time for Labour to stand down to stop splitting the anti-Reform vote!

In the 10 years since Paris, we failed to take the actions necessary to hold to 1.5C. We now face the same challenge in the next decade, but for 2C.

But now we also have to also contend with far worse #climate impacts as we try to decarbonise.

The longer we wait, the harder it gets!

#Overshoot

This is just mad. The planet, our only planet is burning and people are sent to prison without the opportunity to explain why they 'offended'. Today is 16 degrees in the UK. WTF??!!!

Guardian headline: Just Stop Oil protesters convicted after being denied right to state climate facts

Judges keep BANNING climate activists from talking about the climate crisis in their evidence in court...

Because they know that juries find them NOT GUILTY when they explain the JUSTIFICATION for their protests

I know how they got to that point.

Because we’re a few steps behind, living through the “getting to that point” right now in the UK.

That the UK - one of the architects of this fund, designed to save the world’s forests - is now refusing to put any money into it is frankly shameful. Starmer’s claim that he still continues to back the fund is meaningless without resources - so much for climate leadership

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning.

This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

Just Stop Oil protesters convicted after being denied right to state climate facts Lawyers call for clarity over law as six are found guilty while being stopped from using defence used by fellow activists

Utterly scandalous that climate activists are prevented from mentioning climate change in their defence

Even worse when one group is and another isn't, yet they're accused of the same offence

Our legal system is being turned into a joke

School pupils are to be taught how to tackle conspiracy theories, spot 'fake news' & root out misinformation. The Daily Mail, ajudged by Wikipedia to be an unreliable new source, is furious. You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to work out why.

The saddest thing about this decade is realising how thick some of us are. Are we actually gullible enough to believe this?
