Dr. Oz is on my flight right now. He is sitting in the very first seat, front row. I saw him get on the plane. So when I stepped off the jetway onto the plane I approached him and put my hand out. What the man in charge of healthcare for the people on the very margins of society said…was revealing

Tonight, 47 Senators supported my resolution to get accountability for the 9 Americans killed on the West Bank & for Palestinians who face injustices daily. That's more support than we've ever had in this fight. Republicans blocked us, but we won't stop until we get justice.

Truth and reconciliation commissions are only one transitional justice tool among many. They only work under very specific conditions, and often fail. Transitional justice is a complicated field, and when done wrong tends to blow up in your face. It’s an important conversation that requires care.

here’s the problem with the framing. *reconciliation* even in the south africa context could only come *after truth*. put away the R and focus on T. ppl have to realize that not everything will be subject to criminal or even civil process. so what then? ignore? or find creative ways to do justice?

absolutely. this was always my understanding: that a full and accurate accounting, in which the perpetrators admitted to what they had done was worth the price of limited or in some cases even total absolution for some of the offenders.

But wasn't a key element of the original commission that limited amnesties in some cases were possible but only when people fully recounted all that they had done and asked for it?

This is absolutely correct, but I worry that "truth and reconciliation" will sound too foreign to Americans who have long been allergic to truth and/or reconciliation. I'd just say "we're finally going to hold people who broke the law and violated the Constitution accountable for their crimes"

If I were in government right now, this is what I would be spending all my time on: Fines, hearings, shame – none of it's changed the behavior of Big Tech. But data centers give you more leverage than you have *ever had* to force Big Tech to renegotiate its social compact with the American public.

If you have friends (esp AIPAC friends) in GA, it’s worth checking in on them. Ami Fields-Meyer made the following point about Michigan and I think it can also be tailored for GA: The choice GA voters have as American Jews isn’t Ossoff versus some imaginary candidate who shares your Israel views. /3

There's a lesson in this. These people have to walk around in the real world at some point. You risk very little giving them a piece of your mind, compared to how you'll feel slinking away silently. Let them experience how people really feel.

I kept walking to my seat a few rows behind him. His staff or security are not happy with me. But Oz holds a position of public trust and is using it to make life unlivable for human beings in America. I should be the least of his problems. If you see Oz, let him have it. Let them eat crudités.

The next bold and urgent step is for Democrats to place these questions—not just about AI, but about control of tech capital and the decisions made with these powerful technologies—at the center of a political agenda. Otherwise, see you in a couple month for this media circus all over again.
