4+ years ago, I played a key role in getting my current org to adopt "beneficence" as one of its 4 key values. I'm probably past 100 folks at this point who told me they had to go look it up.
Cool. They'll never forget, and they're all on totally board after having done so. Nickel words

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again:

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.
That's GOTTA merit a Nobel Peace Prize, amirite??
Pour one out for every professional political pundit, writer, consultant whatever that has spent the last decade trying to pretend that the Trump phenomenon was about trade or opiates and not a big chunk of white america losing its mind over having a black president

This is Minneapolis:
I’m headed to D.C. for work today.
On the way to the airport I coordinate rides for 2 neighbors who need urgent medical care but can’t leave their home w/o a white neighbor to look out for them.
I’m free to travel while my BIPOC neighbors shelter in place.
This is not ok.

#ICEoffOurStreetsSo, incredibly, the White House has chosen to escalate in blue Minnesota and retreat in Maine to protect a vulnerable GOP Senator.
It's confirmation that Trump-Vance-Miller view ICE as a partisan govt-backed militia to attack blue America while propping up their regime. 1/

#HD64A, a Harris+71 seat in western St. Paul.
This will be an easy Democratic hold, but it'll be interesting to see the margins here given MSP's recent time in the spotlight.
Proud to have gotten to vote for Rep. Omar twice before moving from her Minnesota district. Gotta admire those who fearlessly speak truth to power.
It’s just incredibly funny this is supposed to be the “freedom” party. It was never about any freedom except their right to be selfish assholes and not feel bad about it.

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.
Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.
