I've worked in software development for over 20 years, and most of my career has been in management. I want to share something about the reality of working as a Black man fulfilling leadership roles in tech.

I'm gonna start using "corona" as a unit of measurement. Who's with me? "I was at the grocery store and this guy came within one corona of me!" "The protests stretched for like 200 coronas!"

I guarantee you that the people who argue “abolish policing” have thought about this concept 100x more thoroughly than every single person who reacts “haha that’s dumb” has thought about their reflexive defense of the need for police/prisons

It's only tear gas if it comes from the Têar region of France, otherwise it's just sparkling white supremacy.
The US Park Police says its officers did *not* deploy tear gas at Lafayette Park, but acknowledges using "smoke canisters and pepper balls," that contain a chemical designed to irritate the eyes.

Thank you to creators like @tonynorthrup @tldtoday @reneritchie @ijustine @EmperorBigD and all those who aren’t afraid to lose followers/subs To do what is right and to do what is in their hearts. Integrity is doing that when it’s not convenient. Thank you 🙏🏾

There will be a wave of financial settlements that local governments will need to pay due to widespread police brutality & misconduct over the last few weeks. Taxpayers should not be footing the bill. Responsibility needs to lie with those perpetrating these harms.

I was arrested on June 2nd, 2020 with around 100 other protesters in Los Angeles. While I was ziptied and facing the wall, two male officers joked behind me about my gender presentation: "Do you think it's a female? Are you sure?"

Queer eye but it’s 5 black women who come in and tell police forces how to undo systemic racism in the justice system. Also they get paid double whatever the fab 5 gets paid. #BlackLivesMatter

Hi if you have white privilege you can't renounce or ditch it. Entire systems and structures have been set up to give you unearned advantages. Many of the conditions of yr life, education, career, health, home, etc have unearned advantages. Face this, AND do antiracist work.

As @danielpunkass described, this is a solid move. You literally can’t do anything else in For You, Browse, or Radio except listen to this Beats1 station. Love this from @AppleMusic And for the complainers, you can still search and access your library. Calm down.

People are saying that whitelist/blacklist are etymologically not discriminatory and have nothing to do with races. You're probably correct, but there are modern connotations, so the etymology doesn't matter.
