Our Coalition sued Marco Rubio, and the court is agreeing with us. Today, Judge Boasberg stayed a Trump admin policy to deny revoke the visas of technology researchers, fact-checkers and trust and safety workers. knightcolumbia.org/content/fede...

Sundance paid for me to travel to the festival so I could moderate a panel on the politics of AI. They pulled me last minute because of my q's for this movie and support of Ghost in the Machine. More details on the pod this week about what happened, but this thread makes me proud I got booted.

Megan Garcia, testifying in the Senate: My son was exploited and sexually groomed by chatbots designed by a company that made them seem human. In a reckless race for profit share, Character AI treated my son's life as collateral damage.

I'm thankful to my team @anntastic.bsky.social @candacewhite.bsky.social @cristianfarias.com for guiding this storytelling. We must keep talking about the immigrant communities that ICE continues to target. We must understand and document ICE behaviors so that we can meaningfully resist.

My colleagues @allieschiele.bsky.social @katiefallow.bsky.social @stephaniekrent.bsky.social filed a FOIA request to learn more about ICE's controversial (if you ask me, utterly inhumane and depraved) practices at courthouses.

I'm both honored to have been able to work on this episode, and enraged at the subject matter we are documenting. As @bradlander.bsky.social explains about ICE: "They’re just using the courts as a fishing expedition, a place to find people in order to abduct and detain them."

ICE has been arresting people outside of courthouses. A really despicable practice, described in detail by my brilliant colleague @allieschiele.bsky.social and the admirable @bradlander.bsky.social in the latest episode of @knightcolumbia.org's "The Bully's Pulpit."

The Trump administration’s forthcoming AI action plan will center industry interests & lead to the unrestrained, unaccountable roll-out of AI into every part of our lives. With @ainowinstitute.bsky.social, we’re among the 90+ orgs demanding AI policy that puts the people first. peoplesaiaction.com

I'm finding the Knight Institute's daily trial updates to be really helpful in keeping up with the case. Check them out here if you're interested in following one of the biggest cases to challenge the second Trump administration's immigration policies thus far: knightcolumbia.org/content/aaup...

I'm really lucky to work with lawyers @knightcolumbia.org challenging the Trump administration’s policy of ideological deportation in court this week. Among other highlights in testimony, DHS revealed that it used Canary Mission to find and investigate folks they targeted for deportation.
