    Turning to #Khanna and Klein, the senator asked: “What are the motives of these guys? Do the American people think that Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk are sitting up nights saying, ‘Wow, we got this #technology, we’re going to improve life for working people?’”

    Klein contended that “their motives are exactly the opposite, and they’re very blunt about this, that they are in a race to reach something that they call AGI—artificial general intelligence—or even something beyond that, superintelligence.”

  8. It’s Obvious the #US Healthcare System Isn’t Working, So Why Not Try Medicare for All?

    Between the (likely) expiration of the Affordable Care Act enhanced subsidies, cuts to Medicaid and Medicare, and the decade-long efforts to undermine and dismantle the ACA, the casualties and costs of our current healthcare system continue to grow as Americans continue to wait for a better option. Nearly 45,000 Americans aged 17-65 die each year due to lack of insurance, a number that could rise to over 51,000 preventable deaths in the coming years.

  13. A Month After #Trump Doubles Down on #Atrazine, #WHO Dubs It ‘Probably #Carcinogenic to Humans’

    “It is outrageously irresponsible that we still allow use of this dangerous #poison in the United States,” said the Center for Biological Diversity’s environmental health science director.

    "Just a month after the Trump administration doubled down on the alleged safety of atrazine, a United Nations agency said on Friday that the pesticide—which is banned by dozens of countries but commonly used on #corn, #sugarcane, and #sorghum in the United States—probably causes #cancer.

    " 'It is outrageously irresponsible that we still allow use of this dangerous poison in the United States,' said Nathan Donley, the Center for Biological Diversity’s environmental health science director, in a Friday statement. 'This finding is just the latest indictment of the industry-controlled US #pesticide oversight process that is failing to protect people and #wildlife from chemicals linked to numerous health harms.'

  14. Colombian President #GustavoPetro Says Venezuela Oil ‘At Heart’ of Trump Aggression

    “He’s not thinking about the democratization of Venezuela, let alone the narco-trafficking,” said the #LatinAmerican leader. “In general, all of the wars of this century had to do with #oil.”

    “What lies behind this,” said #Petro, “is the same thing behind the war in Ukraine... #petroleum,” noting the size and quality of #Venezuela’s reserves. “In general, all of the wars of this century had to do with oil.”

    If #Trump were to get the upper hand, Petro suggested, the US would get Venezuela’s oil “almost for free,” predicting that—“based on the evidence so far”—that the #US will go to war over the resources.

    ...adding that Venezuela is not considered a major drug producer or transit point for most #narcotics headed to the US.

  15. ‘She Died Free’: Tributes Pour In for Revolutionary Icon Assata Shakur

    “They wanted her bound, broken, and paraded as an example, but instead, she slipped their grip and lived out her life in exile, surrounded by people who honored her struggle and her survival,” said one admirer.

    [A symbol of defiance and steadfastness.
    This article has some information on the shootout in the 1970's when she was framed up for murder.]

    #AssataShakur, a #Black #revolutionary who inspired generations of activists to struggle for a better world, passed away on Thursday in Havana, Cuba, where she had lived in exile from the #US for over four decades.

    #Cuba’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced her death on Friday, saying it was caused by a combination of “health conditions and advanced age.” She was reportedly 78 years old.
