@virginiahughes Use of AI here is interesting. AI can identify + extract all names, organizations, locations, dates, financial amounts --> build network graphs showing connections between them

[Rafaela Kottou @rafaela_kottou]

@EricMGarcia Yes but there are no editors in social media content, and the young generation who is reading on Substack has grown accustomed to this

[Rafaela Kottou @rafaela_kottou]

@GaryWinslett Absolutely. Myths, fairytales, fables, classics; we can use these stories to imprint shared morals on our children.

"The consequences of war show why the bar for treating cartel activity as an extension of state power must be high. The decision is not about prosecuting criminals, but about unleashing the extraordinary powers of war: detention without trial, targeted killing, sweeping surveillance, even the occupation of territory. These blunt instruments are meant for sovereign enemies, not for persistent social ills...When cartels act alone, their crimes belong in the courtroom. Only when they operate as proxies of a hostile regime should they be treated as enemies on the battlefield. That distinction protects liberty at home while preserving the President’s ability to protect the nation’s security from foreign threats." John Yoo in a piece published in October
