When we win, we need to deliver. If we do not, the backlash will be severe. Our nation and the world cannot bear that. We need to not only defeat Trumpism, but tackle the conditions that led to its rise.

Nonviolent protest has been a powerful and effective tool for social change. This is why authoritarians at home and abroad are trying to crack down on free speech and dissent. Because if we lose the right to protest, we stand to lose so much more. Watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rvafufqH7g

5. So now transplant all of what's happened in AI lately to any other industry. Suppose a pharma company releases a product that millions of people find useful. They do de minimus testing prior to release. Then they say "turns out this product might kill you, but I can't stop making it."

4. Now, as a legal matter, crimes are defined by actions, and by motive. They aren't defined by weapons. Murder charges don't vary depending on whether you use a gun, or a slow, Agatha Christie poisoning. The "technology" doesn't limit the legality.

I am alarmed by the rapidly deteriorating humanitarian crisis in Oleshky, a town in the temporarily occupied parts of the Kherson region of Ukraine.
Civilians, including children, are trapped without sufficient food, medicines, medical care, running water or electricity. Reports indicate that they face a high risk of death.
Under international humanitarian law, Russia, as the occupying power, has the duty to provide food and medical supplies and to facilitate humanitarian relief.
I call for an immediate local ceasefire, unhindered humanitarian access, and the safe evacuation of civilians.
The hardship and suffering of people caught along the frontlines of the war and in occupied territories demand international attention and action. #humanrights #Ukraine #Oleshky #Kherson
