New ICE detention sites don’t just appear. They get built because no one stops them in time. Now there’s a way to shut them down early. GTFOICE.org connects people nationwide to “crowd cancel” these facilities—before contracts are finalized and doors open. Join the network. #USDemocracy

Guido Reichstadter
@wolflovesmelon
Hi my name is Guido Reichstadter & I'm currently occupying the top of the Frederick Douglass memorial bridge in Washington DC. 

I'm calling on the people of the United States to bring an immediate end to the Trump regime's illegal war on Iran and the removal of the regime power through mass nonviolent direct action and non-cooperation. 

I also want to urgently warn the people of the US and the world of the imminent danger we are in of crossing a point of no return towards the development of artificial intelligence which poses the risk of catastrophic harm to humanity, including human extinction. I call on the governments of the world to take immediate action to end this danger by permanently banning the development of artificial general intelligence and machine super intelligence. I also call on the people of the world to exert all possible influence through nonviolent action to compel their governments to end this danger with all possible speed.
