I contain so many multitudes. Too many, maybe.

Nearly in tears when I saw the news. Thank you, thank you, thank you to every person who made this possible.

Breaking News: In a blow to President Trump, the Supreme Court blocked his executive order limiting birthright citizenship. https://t.co/swKzZjo4F7

We cannot consider #AI to be morally neutral. In reality, every technical tool embodies choices and priorities through what it measures, ignores, and optimizes, and how it classifies people and situations. Ethical discernment cannot be limited to asking whether we are using a system for good or bad purposes. It must also examine how that system is designed and what vision of the human person and society is embedded in the data and models that guide it. #MagnificaHumanitas

Those attacking our voting rights are afraid of the power we hold and how we’ve poured into this nation’s story. This #Juneteenth, we celebrate and honor the fight of those who came before us. Our mission in this moment is unmistakable: push on until our full freedom is finally realized.

We’re so lucky to have such incredible greenways in our backyards! Some friends from my morning walk yesterday:

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.

When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.

The result? Demagoguery and corruption.

For years, the cost of basic necessities has outpaced incomes for a large share of Americans—leaving more than 40% of households struggling to make ends meet. The first installment of a new series, States of Affordability, maps affordability challenges by state, county, and race—and what it would take to close the gap. https://t.co/bHD0dsumeJ

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

Don’t go chasing waterfalls...cautiously approach and be careful of slippery conditions. In fact, you may just want to stick to the rivers and lakes that you’re used to.

Kids over corporations!! Happy #MayDay

The United States has only been genuinely a democracy since 1965. Today the Supreme Court gutted the legislation that made it possible.

[Stacey Abrams @staceyabrams]

The Voting Rights Act ended 150 years of Jim Crow and finally gave truth to the 15th Amendment. In a democracy, the faith of the people is born of a belief that they can participate in its processes and benefit from its success.
