WATCH - Once again, thousands of protesters are laying on the Burnside Bridge with their hands behind their back. It's the fifth day of protests in the City of Portland #LiveOnK2

It's been 24 hours and I still have yet to see any NRA member standing up to this military occupation they always say they need guns for.

Dear Tech/Hacker Twitter:

I am begging you: do not try to solve systemic racism with code. You cannot program this problem away.

Listen to Black people, an app is not going to fix this.

Wise words from @aaronpk: "Don't be like Apple, use existing open standards." - https://aaronparecki.com/2020/05/31/30/the-real-cause-of-the-sign-in-with-apple-zero-day

This is not political; it's a human rights issue. I don't care what side you vote on; oppression, thuggery, media silencing, and MURDER from the top down is unacceptable in ANY society; to happen in America is beyond despicable. Congress, where the HELL are you? #BlackLivesMatter

working from home during the outbreak of a pandemic wasn’t easy but turns out it was a lot easier than working from home while authoritarianism is overtaking your nation

If we are okay with the idea that even the media must "go home because it is curfew" and it is "their fault for being there" and that police have a right to attack them, I don't think you've thought through the future and country you're endorsing.

This all feels dystopian.

To everyone that said we were overreacting in 2016.

To everyone that got sold on a slogan and a hat and some slick social marketing.

To everyone that chuckled and said “How bad can it be? What’s the worst that can happen?”

DO YOU HAVE YOUR FUCKING ANSWER NOW?

In 40 years, will kids be told the pandemic was the tinder and Floyd's killing was the spark, or that systemic injustice was the tinder and the pandemic was the spark?

I know the world is hella messed up right now but Netflix has tons of movies/shows and tons of people that work on AI/ML for them but still in 2020 if you turn on subtitles most jokes appear on screen well before they are uttered, Netflix you have the capability to fix this

There are many better people to talk about the troubles gripping us right now then me.

But I want to make one thing clear. I support the rights of all and we need to do better as a nation ensuring everyone has fair access to those rights.

Los Angeles convention center has been transformed into a military base

The US can't organize testing centers for covid but they can construct a military base in a few hours as soon as the status quo is threatened by the underprivileged

please be in your homes by noon or the dumbest guys from your high school will run you over with cars you paid for

So..

100k+ people died and we debated the ethics of lockdown and public good versus personal freedom.

1 police station was burned and a couple 100 stores looted. And we have national guard enforced curfews in cities across the nation.

If you follow people to “keep tabs on them,” and denounce them, consider making a private list instead.

People won’t be alerted that you follow them when they click to their profile. Follows and RT are endorsements. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Headline of the day.
