AI, Exploitation, and Consent: Why We Must Act Now
Grok AI, the artificial intelligence system integrated into X (formerly Twitter), has recently been exposed for generating child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and nonconsensual sexualized images of adults at user prompts. Grok AI admitted to “lapses in safeguards” after creating a sexualized image of two girls. While X says it will remove illegal content and suspend accounts that post it, it is unclear what protections will be added to prevent this from happening again. These incidents show how easily AI image tools can be weaponized against children and women, and how current guardrails still fall short. time.com This is abuse, not just a “tech glitch”. AI-generated deepfakes...

Domestic Violence Is a Life and Death Issue, Even When There Are No Bruises
Each October, Domestic Violence Awareness Month invites us to reflect on the realities of abuse and the lives it impacts. But reflection alone is not enough. We must confront the ways domestic violence is often minimized in public discourse, treated as a private matter, or a momentary conflict. This minimization is inaccurate and dangerous. Domestic violence is not a “small fight” or a personal disagreement. It is a pattern of power and control that can escalate into lethal violence. Domestic...

When Leaders Minimize Domestic Violence, Survivors Pay the Price
By Michele Boronkas, CEO of Safe + Sound Somerset When the President of the United States publicly questions whether “a little fight with the wife at home” can be considered a crime, it sends a chilling message—not just to survivors of domestic violence, but to every community working to end it.
