#DearProfessorFord,
We want you to know that you are not alone. You are a survivor. Millions of us have your back.
We call on Senators to demand a full, fair and trauma-informed investigation.
Signed,
Your Sisters

I'm reading the Mueller indictments in the original PDF-legalease format. All the way through, because I'm not a Republican member of Congress and think this is actually important.

Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble. #goodtrouble

when i was in jr high my parents were worried about me getting through life because i was so... soft. i told them that if you threw a glass bottle out of a window it'd break but if you threw a kleenex it'd be fine, and like the kleenex i would be fine

Echo chambers work just as cults do: by systematically alienating their members from all outside epistemic sources. Last week’s most read: ow.ly/6zfH30jnUvv

I dated a girl in college whose mom tried to talk her out of being gay by telling her she'd have to go through life w/out someone to open jars for her. At the time it was upsetting but in hindsight I kind of love that jar opening was the only use for men she could think of.

The problem with Facebook is not *just* the loss of your privacy and the fact that it can be used as a totalitarian panopticon. The more worrying issue, in my opinion, is its use of digital information consumption as a psychological control vector. Time for a thread

I'm an engineer at heart, which means my eyes are rarely pointed up towards the clouds. I'm usually looking down at the pothole in front of me.
But in my biggest, broadest vision, 5-10 years from now, building tech for the State of California would carry the prestige of Google.

I hope every reporter who interviews Bob Corker, John Cornyn, Susan Collins, Murkowski et.al. this week asks them if there is anything in the tax bill that benefits their personal, family or business finances. Or their estates. Senators should not get to cash in or out freely.

My lesson from years of political punditry is to never give up -- despite how terrible things may look, redemption remains possible. Still, let's reflect for a moment on what we've now learned: the GOP is entirely, 100% corrupt 1/

Both Twitter and Facebook feel broken. I am ready for a new social media platform that respects the user, the user experience and has a founder with sound values and a strong moral compass.

Some people mistakenly conclude that cultivating compassion is all about others’ benefit, whereas the first benefit is to us. Compassion brings us peace of mind. It attracts friends. Friends are based on trust and trust develops when we show concern for others.

Turkish is a gender neutral language. There is no "he" or "she" - everything is just "o". But look what happens when Google translates to English. Thread:

Without #NetNeutrality your ISP can:
1. Charge you extra to reach certain websites.
2. Slow down streaming services like Netflix that compete with their streaming services.
3. Block some websites altogether.
This is the end of the free and open Internet.

I don’t like formality. There’s no formality when we’re born and none when we die. In between we should treat each other as brothers and sisters because we all want to live a happy life. This is our common purpose and our right.

Republicans hedging their bets on someone accused of child sexual abuse so they can pass a tax cut for corporations is worse than the worst liberal caricature of their party
