Dolores Huerta is a badass still at 96. I believe her. I’m heartbroken for her and all the survivors. She was so strong she held this to protect the farm workers movement, but she shouldn’t have had to. We failed her. Our systems failed one of the most remarkable leaders in our history. 💔

So Anthropic CEO refused to let the US military use its AI for two things: mass surveillance of American citizens, and fully autonomous weapons with no human pulling the trigger. Trump ordered all federal agencies and defense contractors to cut ties with Anthropic.
It is being reported that Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei has been killed. Just like the US capturing Maduro last month in Venezuela was removing the head of a hydra, it remains to be seen if this is a regime change or just giving an opportunity for another figurehead of a similar leadership style.
Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.
As someone who grew up in Venezuela in the 80’s & 90’s, and remembers when Chavez expanded the nationalization of Venezuela's oil industry, mandating majority state control (PDVSA), I want to be clear. Venezuelan oil belongs to them. It is not ours. We don’t need to charge people to help them.

Women didn’t ruin the workplace, but those values on a wall aren’t working for anyone if they are just words with no substance. It’s time to be honest about human limits and how humans work best, not just women but everyone in the workplace. My take on Substack: open.substack.com/pub/loriadam...
