Yes @JoeBiden! @TheDemocrats @DNC need to talk about this disaster! It will dismantle our entire democracy. ALL our rights are on the ballot this Nov 5. Why isn't every media outlet talking about this & a convicted felon? He's old. But he has been deranged & vindictive for years!.
Have you read this?.

RT @CLeibowicz @techreview @SamGregory - great article! It is critical to understand how AI will impact our ability to "differentiate fact from fabrication" in a world where misinformation, disinformation and mal-information has put trust in our media sources at an all-time low.
💡For @techreview, I joined the chorus writing on watermarking AI content . on why the field can't agree what watermarking means, how to understand its technical feasibility/social impact, and how to coordinate & move AI transparency forward.

RT @TheTNHoller All police actions like this need to be investigated. @LASD_News @docnewsfeed this is the visual definition of excessive use of force. Thank goodness people in addition to this woman were watching and filming. This is why citizens must hold our police accountable!.

RT @ChrisMurphyCT this merger is an outrage! The @PGATOUR @PGA has disqualified the sport from having a position of integrity.
So weird. PGA officials were in my office just months ago talking about how the Saudis' human rights record should disqualify them from having a stake in a major American sport. I guess maybe their concerns weren't really about human rights?.

RT @matthewjdowd the @PGATOUR @PGA has lost all credibility. This merger is the definition of "whitewashing" - covering up the "dirt". In this case the "dirt" is the Saudi record of human rights violations and outright corruption.

RT @nowthisnews @IlhanMN what an important time to remember Shirley Chisholm! As the forces around us seek to remove hard won rights and freedoms, we must continue to expand, encourage and ensure meaningful participation in the governance. Push equal rights & voting rights NOW!.
Shirley Chisholm—the first Black woman to be elected to Congress—fought to expand food assistance programs across the country. Now, Rep. @IlhanMN is speaking about how Chisholm's lasting work continues to inspire her and others to fight for marginalized communities.
