For years, New Yorkers have demanded access to City records about the lasting health impacts of the horrific September 11th attacks. For years, they have been denied and ignored. That ends today. nyc.gov/sept11docs

How about the AI companies start coding for human ethics to prioritize all other possible goals before they lose control of self improving AI and kill us all?

DC @mayorbowser essentially inviting federal law enforcement to remain indefinitely is an absolute disgrace. If she is uninterested in doing the bare minimum to defend our residents against harassment, racial profiling, random stops, and being disappeared on our streets she should resign immediately

100%. And to be very clear, DC’s Attorney General should be suing DOJ immediately over this flagrantly illegal action that is not authorized by the D.C. Home Rule Act (or any other federal or local law)! The current Congress won’t do anything to stop this but the federal courts may.

He may be able to convince his followers of his lies, but we will not allow his lies to go unchecked. Crime is down in DC. Over the past two years, there has been a 52% drop in violent crime. We now have some of the lowest crime rates we’ve seen in 30 years.
