What does the forthcoming Trump administration mean for AI and Big Tech? Tech & Public Policy Director @MichelleDeMooy recently spoke with the @SourcingJournal’s @MeghanHall77 to answer this question: sourcingjournal.com/topics/t…
It hit me: Dems completely ignored a whole swath of voters for a long, long time - but claimed to speak on their behalf. Why would people elect a guy like Trump? In part, because it sends a huge “FU” to a DC ruling class that has ignored them. And because today, we see them.

Congratulations @Renee Di Resta for her appointment as associate research professor @Georgetown McCourt School of Public Policy. Renee's experience and perspective will strengthen Georgetown’s work on adversarial abuse online, and inform policymakers’ efforts to address related challenges. Her voice is needed now more than ever.

If women across the U.S. went on a sex strike to protest the overturning of #RoeVWade, and those of childbearing age refused to have babies, the global economy would grind to a halt within a decade.
Remembering the girls + women I spoke to as a legal info counselor @WomensLawProj. The decision to get an abortion was agonizing for every. single. one. They tried to do right by themselves + by their pregnancy, regardless of the circumstance (which were often heartbreaking).
14 year old, raped by a relative; 33 year old, birth control failed; 23 year old, no financial resources to raise a child; 25 year old, facing serious medical complications; many women in violent relationships; many women with no access to birth control or health care #RoeVWade
“Ideas are fragile. If they were resolved, they would not be ideas, they would be products.” Jony Ive reminds me that it’s ok to have big ideas driven by curiosity + optimism. In tech policy, we need more dreamers + big ideas + creative risk takers. apple.news/AeAZZga9oTPK4eCMT…
Conservatives/Anti-vaxxers: It’s our bodies, our choice!
Also Conservatives/Anti-vaxxers: Except when you’re pregnant.
Would it be legal for the Biden administration to require states to have a certain percentage of people vaccinated (say, 60%) before the state can receive COVID-related federal aid?
We need to rebuild the internet around personal, verifiable identity, giving people tools to manage their identity themselves or through trusted intermediaries, with oversight from public interest-driven governance bodies. New white paper from @itega: itega.org/wp-content/uploads…
