    The work and DC government did to replace DC's Oracle tire fire should get more attention. The more I read about it the more I see it as the model states could take to unwind their terrible Medicaid systems.

    The moment we didn’t see a picture of his face and then got word that he was taken in alive, we knew the mass shooter in Annapolis at the Capital Gazette was white. American police are adept at taking armed white mass murderers in alive. Unarmed Black men altogether different.

    (You might be surprised to hear I only expose a very small percentage of my real feelings on Twitter. The last two days of saying what I think have been stressful but liberating. But I also know that's like 0.0001% of the cognitive dissonance marginalized folks experience daily.)

    Especially given this:

    It’s worth reflecting on the fact that the only civil war in the US was started and fought by white capitalists seeking to defend their profits and the slavery that enabled those profits. Modern US history is essentially the pursuit of those goals by other means.

    Tech companies and the people who work for them need to be less afraid of "being political." We need to have overcome that fear ages ago, but clearly we haven't. If you haven't gotten over it, now is the fucking time. No more complacency.

    And the depraved logic by some in our industry is that as scary as this story is, it's not as scary as newspapers using the wrong words to describe it. Talk about not knowing what scary is. What a privilege it is treat this as a thought exercise like a cute trolly problem.

    That Nazario and Filomena were fleeing Guatemala and we were awful to them is especially shameful, as we (the US) destroyed that country’s stability in 1954 because we didn’t like their election results
