"we also need the strength of shared values."

Quoting Secr. Marshall:
"governments which systematically disregard the rights of their own people are not likely to respect the rights of other nations and other people, and are likely to seek their objectives by coercion and force in the international field."

"in this time of crisis and chaos, leading with empathy is a strength. Empathy has never started a war. Never sought to take the dignity of others. And empathy teaches you that power is interchangeable"

Quote by YU:
"May 23, 2025
Class Day, a Yale College tradition, includes the awarding of academic, artistic, and athletic prizes; the celebration of undergraduates; and an address by a notable speaker. The Right Honorable Dame Jacinda Ardern, former prime minister of New Zealand, delivered the 2025 Class Day address."

This is going to be a lawsuit worth keeping an eye on.

“In a decision filed today, Judge Anne Conway said that an attempted First Amendment defense wasn’t enough to get the lawsuit thrown out. Conway determined that, despite some similarities to videogames and other expressive mediums, she is “not prepared to hold that Character AI’s output is speech.””
