Today we mourn the passing of Rev. Jesse Jackson, a giant of the civil rights movement who never stopped demanding that America live up to its promise.âšâš He marched, he ran, he organized and he preached justice without apology.âšâšMay we honor him not just in words, but in struggle.

I just watched your 2019 ASU lecture and LOVED IT Iâve programmed professionally my whole life, but Iâve always felt alienated from the âsoftware engineerâ concept I saw myself in the women you profiled quite profoundly. So much to think about! Thank you

Please stop with the "some of them were citizens" thing Ever time you specify someone's citizenship you reify ICE's mission "No one is illegal on stolen land," remember?

tbh, I donât get why people are going âomg read the articleâ about Waymo remote guidance. the point is this: gig drivers started to gain labor wins, to unionize. then these things showed up, with underpaid (and invisible-to-user) workers who are more easily exploited. the issue remains the same.

Read this and tell me whether youâd like to have 1) functional transit, 15 minute walkable cities or 2) more cars, just as big, just as heavy, controlled by opaque software and geo-arbitraged workers from half a world away

Bovino out is a great indicator. Itâs a great start. But none of us can be appeased right now. Itâs still abolish ICE. Itâs still prosecute these fascists. Itâs still destroy the whole apparatus that has been terrorizing and disappearing and murdering our neighbors.

A national general strike is needed not just to protest the violence, but to acknowledge the absurdity that weâre all just supposed to carry on with our stupid little daily lives amidst the ambient terrorism of an unchecked state militia executing innocent people in the streets of our country.
