@davetroy This is true, I read this section on USAID - the defunding and redefining of family planning and sexual and reproductive health was there, but not dismantling.

@hardebeck @MyBGE I've been having similar problems with trying to get my account history - so frustrating.

[Kristin Song @kristinsong3]

My name is Kristin Song.

On January 31, 2018, my son Ethan was shot in the head in his best friend's house. The father/gun owner stored 3 handguns and ammunition in a shoebox. Ethan's friend had been accessing the guns for over 6 months.

At the hospital, the ER doctor slid down the wall, put his head in his hands, and whispered, "Your son is gone." At that instant, all I knew, loved and trusted was imploded into a million tiny pieces.

I begged to say goodbye to my beautiful boy. I wanted to kiss his forehead, tell him how cherished he was, and tuck him in one last time. But the doctor begged me to remember Ethan as he was, you see, he was unrecognizable even to my eyes.

The day before Thanksgiving in 2018, the prosecutor told me she would not charge the negligent gun owner, and if I wanted negligent gun owners to be held accountable, I would have to change the law.

So I did.

6 months later, Connecticut passed Ethan's Law, which requires gun owners to secure their weapons if children can gain access.

Then, I learned that so many states stood silent on this issue, so in 2019, I turned my attention to passing Ethan's Law nationally. I met with over 400 congressional offices, 130 of them Republican.

In 2022, Ethan's Law was passed in the House of Representatives as part of the Safer Communities Act. Sadly, it was not picked up in the final package.

When the Democrats lost the House of Representatives in 2023, I pivoted to passing safe gun storage laws in the States. As a result, Michigan, New Mexico, and Maryland passed safe storage laws.

Currently, I am working with 5 states to pass Ethan's Law.

I am emotionally and mentally exhausted, but I will not stop until there is a cultural shift in this country where it becomes second nature to secure your weapons around unsupervised children.

If you believe in protecting children from gun violence, please follow and repost.

Earlier this week, @POTUS Biden issued an executive order on artificial intelligence – a breakthrough technology that has the power to change the world in ways we’re only beginning to understand.

I wanted to share some of the books, articles, and podcasts that have helped shape my perspective on artificial intelligence over the past year.

Strong start at @JohnsHopkins AI-X Foundry Symposium with Dr. Andrew Moore, plain and simple - "Don't conflate data science with AI. Data science is modeling - AI is automation."

When you see an AI disaster—from racist soap dispensers to Chat GPT texts that seem like they’re grooming 13-year-olds—don't think about it as just a blip or a glitch, says @nyu_journalism prof @merbroussard. “We have to fix society before we start crystallizing it in code.”
