Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”

- "you can embrace the chaotic, messy, sometimes frustrating democratic system that has produced more innovation than any other system in human history. Or ... a dictator who eagerly promises to make everything simple and efficient mainly by ignoring the nuances and complexities of reality"

- We need to do more to protect transgender people since the courts are failing. In 2023, Project Include shared 12 recommendations on how to support trans employees at work based on surveys of 3,000 workers and interviews of 20 experts. projectinclude.org/assets/pdf/P...

- So the Dems want to suck up to the most hated person in the US? Who hates unions, women, transgender people and Black people? Whose Tesla plant had areas called the "predator zone" and "plantation"? How much do you think he can donate? They really want to accelerate their path to self-destruction

- It's Pride month, everyone. Instead of talking about it, why not implement our recommendations from "Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Inclusion in the Workplace: What companies need to know and do"?
- Reposted by Ellen PaoIf you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow. The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.
- Tinu Abayomi-Paul was a key contributor to my understanding of the disabled community and ableism in the workplace. Please join me in honoring her legacy and work.
- If they included their own role in encouraging the fight against trans youth, it would be twice as long at least

- On the gulf between who we are and who we want to be, and how to bridge it so we show up in this moment. It was a big lesson I learned at reddit: people hate thinking about the gulf; the more you point it out, the more upset they get. But what if they took action instead?

- Reposted by Ellen PaoFrost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.
- Schools should be getting ahead of the backlash by banning phones and not requiring as much time on internet research or apps.

- Just more proof that Joe Rogan has jumped the shark
- NEWS: Democratic mega-donors are debating plans to spend tens of millions of dollars on a range of influencer plans to "find the liberal Rogan." We've got pitch decks, investor meetings, and internal docs. One Democrat has a spreadsheet of 26 different proposals. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/20/u...

- These days it helps to look for the beacons of light and the helpers. Keith Haring's art has so much joy and impact, even during the dark 1980s in NYC. I found out he has a stamp so I bought 4 sheets. (I wish it had his signature so everyone would learn more about him)
- Reposted by Ellen PaoThere's a lot of chatter around the proposal being inserted into a budget bill that would put a moratorium on any AI legislation being passed by the states for the next 10 years. I thought I'd say a bit about why this is an absolutely disastrous move. www.404media.co/republicans-... 1/n
- They already chose to overlook his murder of a journalist in 2020 when he did his American tour. And he's just an all around bad guy to everyone. TIL he was responsible for the Jeff Bezos dick pics

- When I joined reddit in 2016, I was in charge of business development. Early on, I found a potential multimillion dollar deal with a data extraction company. @yishan.bsky.social said selling our data conflicted with our privacy values, so we ended our partnership talks. Values and integrity matter.

- Warren Buffett spoke at my school and gave this piece of wisdom that I think about often. It's lucky to be lucky, and it's even luckier to recognize how lucky you are.
- Good news should be shared. (Also I just donated to Bolts/The Political Report because their work is helpful, hard, and necessary.)
