Regardless the purpose, DO NOT TRAVEL TO THE US, as long as the fascist regime is in power! ICE is abducting tourists putting them into detention camps regardless of correct and valid papers. It is flat out dangerous, obviously especially for Europeans. Stay away!

#AI #RegulateAI #TakeAction Tell Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth: Cancel Elon Musk’s $200 million AI contract!
actionnetwork.org/letters/hegs

actionnetwork.orgHegseth: Cancel Musk’s AI contract First, Elon Musk’s Grok AI chatbot was on Twitter calling itself ‘MechaHitler,’ repeating antisemitic jokes and conspiracy theories, sexually harassing former company CEO Linda Yaccarino, and spewing out elaborate rape fantasies about a prominent Musk critic. Less than one week later, the Department of Defense apparently gave Musk a $200 million contract to deploy Grok throughout the DoD. That’s right, the Pentagon has signed a multi-million dollar deal to begin using Elon Musk's artificial intelligence chatbot, Grok, as part of a wider rollout of AI tools for government use by the Department of Defense. It includes providing technical support for classified environments and other “custom tools” for national security. All of it without any public transparency on what kind of oversight will be provided to maintain control and protect the public from AI "hallucinations" and fantasies. We can’t let this unstable AI system anywhere near our bombs. Send a message directly to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and tell him: Cancel Elon Musk’s $200 million AI contract now! Chief Digital and AI Officer Doug Matty said Grok will be critical to “support warfighters and maintain strategic advantage over our adversaries.” How exactly can MechaHitler do that? I’ve never tried it, but I doubt most people who call themselves ‘MechaHitler’ during a job interview get hired with a nine-figure paycheck. It’s barely been more than a month since President Trump suggested cancelling all of the contracts with SpaceX, Starlink, and Tesla -- contracts that have helped make Elon Musk the richest man on earth. Trump was right, and Hegseth shouldn’t add another contract for Trump to cancel. If this deal goes through, it almost certainly won’t be Musk’s last AI contract with the government. That’s just one more reason why it’s so important to stop this contract now. Send a message directly to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth: Cancel Elon Musk’s $200 million AI contract now!

Yes, exactly. They only do it to make us miserable. To terrorize ordinary people. No other purpose.
I don't think any of these criminals working for ICE will listen. If they would listen, they wouldn't even get the idea to work for ICE in the first place.
But well, anyway...

actionnetwork.orgSign to demand the closure of Guantánamo Bay and the end of immigrant detention at its notorious torture facilities Trump’s ICE agents have been kidnapping people and deporting them to places with rampant human rights abuses—including the notorious torture facilities at Guantánamo Bay. That includes Castillo Rivera, a 23-year-old who came here through the CBP One appointment system, a way for asylum-seekers to enter the U.S. He was targeted at the processing center simply for having a tattoo, and deported the next day to Guantánamo Bay.1 This is unacceptable! Now Trump wants to deport and lock up thousands more of our immigrant neighbors at Guantánamo Bay, which is infamous for human rights abuses. Rep. Rashida Tlaib led 15 of her colleagues in the House of Representatives with a letter to the Trump administration expressing their outrage at the recent expansion of immigrant detention at Guantánamo Bay. Will you sign today as a grassroots co-signer of the congressional letter demanding Trump immediately halt immigrant detention at Guantánamo Bay, and permanently close the detention facilities there?

#AI #RegulateAI #TakeAction Tell Senators to vote no on the budget reconciliation bill and the 10-year ban on AI regulation now.
actionnetwork.org/letters/10-y

actionnetwork.org10-year ban on AI regulation now. House Republicans are trying to shut down every state’s ability to respond to the real dangers posed by artificial intelligence. Their budget bill would impose a ten-year ban on state and local AI laws, taking away your state’s power to protect voters, workers, patients, and consumers from biased and unregulated AI systems. Hidden inside the House-passed budget bill is a sweeping provision that blocks all state and local governments from enforcing any laws related to AI regulation for 10 years -- from transparency rules to protections against deepfakes, surveillance, discrimination, and bias in hiring, housing, and healthcare -- if they accept billions in federal funding for expanding broadband internet into rural communities and other under resourced neighborhoods. The impact would be devastating. States like California, Illinois, New York, and Maryland have already passed laws to hold AI systems accountable. This ban would freeze those laws and prohibit any new ones, handing the power to regulate AI entirely to Congress, which has failed to act on this issue for years. States have always been first responders when new technologies pose new risks. From workplace protections to consumer safety to civil rights enforcement, state laws have filled the gaps when Washington failed to act. Taking that power away now, at the exact moment AI is reshaping every part of our lives, is a direct threat to public safety and democratic accountability. This ban isn’t about safety or innovation. It is about power. And it hands total control of AI policy to a broken Congress in the pocket of Big Tech donors while silencing every state for the next decade.
