❗Choose Future, Choose Climate!❗

Yesterday we joined 45,000+ people in The Hague for the Climate march🌍✊.

Elections are coming—vote for climate justice. Polluters profit while people pay the price.

This must change.

💚 The fight goes on—in the streets and the voting booth.

Here, @scottjshapiro.bsky.social and I consider the collapse of the prohibition on the use of force and the likely consequences: a global arms race, wars of conquest, shrinking trade, and the end of global cooperation. We chart another potential path, but it would require courage and quick action.

That’s why we spend so much on propaganda. Not to make you believe something but to make you believe nothing. So you do nothing.

It works.

We are extremely concerned Ukraine will be able to use on us the same type of weapons we've been using on them for 3 years and 8 months.

It isn't an escalation when we do it.

⚠️ Beware of comparisons between AI and humans.
In new research, Klaudia Klonowska & Taylor Woodcock (Asser Institute) show AI reshapes, rather than replaces, human decision-making in military targeting. Understanding human-AI interactions is crucial for IHL compliance.
