The prevailing view of so much of the young left in America is that we’re the worst country ever, so if someone attacks us, they can’t be all bad.

It’s an honor to be in a position to help a cause as important as rebuilding lives and communities that were devastated by wildfires. I’ll be performing live next to one of my musical heroes, Dave Matthews at @FireAidLA, and will also be broadcasting the concert on @lifewithjm on @SIRIUSXM. ♥️

[Skydio @SkydioHQ]

“Everyone agrees it won’t be long before this new technology becomes a regular part of first response.”

San Francisco Mayor @LondonBreed and @SFPDChief Scott showcased their new drone program this week, where Drone as First Responder (DFR) will play a vital role in helping to build a safer Bay Area region. Drones can be deployed in the field or remotely to help lead to better outcomes like safer arrests, and have contributed to a 34% drop in crime locally.

They also invited San Jose Mayor @MattMahanSJ and new @SanJosePD Chief @SJPD_AC_Joseph to participate in the demo. San Jose is excited to explore implementing DFR the way San Francisco has.
