We also need universal healthcare yesterday with full vision, mental, hearing, and dental coverage. But as we strive to reach that, the least we can do is not use shoddy AI to determine our survival.

This is a perfect example as to why we need AI regulation yesterday.

AI cannot be the arbiter of whether human beings can live or die. This is an excuse for insurance companies to fire human workers and make our healthcare system even more nightmarish for a quick buck.

If you have never read Parable of the Sower or Parable of the Talents, now is the time.

It’s about a future where the worst parts of our current world are never stopped and how we find hope anyway.

For the record, I will be swearing in on Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower after I’m elected.
Swear your oath ON the dome.

omg. Kat Abughazaleh just posted that if she's elected, she'll swear in on a copy of Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower.

If you were elected to public office (never mind whether you'd ever actually run), what book would you swear in on?

This is exactly why I’m running. We need leaders who will defend civil liberties and push back when the government overreaches.

If you want a member of Congress who will fight policies like this and stand up for our rights, I could use your support today: secure.actblue.com/donate/abu-b...

Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control.

All-seeing surveillance systems don’t make us safer. They are in direct opposition to our civil liberties.
