Further evidence for why should be saved: look what happened with . Priceless history lost, new stadium just doesn’t have the same soul. Don’t get me wrong: I’m not a Dolan fan and he should pay his fair share of taxes. BUT save MSG for the fans, not him.

Harry Belafonte was not only a great entertainer, but he was a courageous leader in the fight against racism and worker oppression. Jane and I were privileged to consider him a friend and will miss him very much.

Preserving the name and message of a visionary like Harry Belafonte was so important. And being able to honor him while he was still alive was a pure joy. Harry loved “his” library. The day we named it for him, he looked like he was on top of the world!

Harry had a beautiful restless energy: wherever he saw injustice, he tried to do something about it. And he had a peerless ability to energize and organize others to join him. and I were so blessed by his boundless support and warm friendship.

Here’s what I said recently at on why we can’t accept the current trajectory of artificial intelligence. A human-made crisis is developing rapidly, but we can still address it. Demand a moratorium on research going too far, too fast.

Bernie’s profound warning demands action. And anyone who says regulation can’t happen or the topic is too complex, just look at what the is proposing with their AI Act. All over the globe, people are demanding that WE get to decide the future of AI, not Big Tech.

It is imperative that we make sure that new technology like artificial intelligence works for us, and not just a few billionaires who already control everything else about our economy.

I’m no soccer expert, but I am a devoted sports fan. I watched the 2nd half of the #ChampionsLeague match yesterday. I have never seen such unfair officiating. It felt like the referees should have been wearing a jersey. Alla prossima! #ForzaNapoliSempre

As Mayor, I received many threats from Trump supporters. It became expected, sadly. When Trump attacked me or I opposed something he did, the threats soon followed, almost like clockwork. My message to the Judge: don’t be bullied, don’t back down.

This has been a pivotal week in the fight to ensure that humanity matters more than profit in the development of AI. Italy has made clear that potentially damaging new technologies should actually go through careful vetting, and not just be unleashed on us

To everyone who cares about the dangers posed by unfettered AI and the glaring lack of public debate on this issue, SIGN THIS LETTER NOW. It is open to all. Here’s a chance to show a groundswell of support for people, not Big Tech, determining our destiny.

My message at yesterday was simple: America should quickly emulate the and enact real regulation of artificial intelligence. Americans are rapidly waking up to the dangers of AI - now we need to demand action.

This is a watershed moment: the recognition by a wide range of tech leaders that AI development is proceeding recklessly with no real democratic process. Political leaders, this is YOUR cue: take action now! Put limits on AI while we still can.

Democracy doesn’t protect itself - the strikers in Israel are showing us all what it means to really fight for our values. They are heroes, and their example should be followed wherever democracy is being trampled.

The democracy crisis in Israel has led to Israel’s first ever labor -business - university general strike and shut down. First Ever. Netanyahu’s extremist government, has led to this crisis. They are attempting a coup by denuding the Judiciary. Israelis are saying no!! twitter.com/Nadav_Eyal/sta…

The workers of Israel are giving the entire democratic world a lesson in how to fight autocracy. The fierceness of their opposition to Netanyahu will reset Israeli politics and help create a more open society. Thank you, Histadrut!

How many Americans would agree with Trump that our democracy is like “the Gestapo, like China and Russia, only worse?” I encourage him to keep posting and to keep alienating American voters. He lost by 7m votes last time, he’ll lose by 10m next time.

Trump just called Alvin Bragg an “animal.” That’s not just dog-whistling, that’s straight-up, overt racism. In fact, it is Trump who’s acting like an animal - a trapped and cornered animal.
