Dr. Maya Angelou once said: “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” In this powerful @oprahdaily piece, 100 women remind us that words matter. oprahdaily.com/life/a3584469…

OMG. I just found out Mario Gonzalez, a Latino man who survive the shooting, was mistakenly HANDCUFFED for TWO HOURS while his wife, Delaina Yaun, lay dying.
He didn't find out she was killed until after he was released from police custody.

You bore us. If science is a “commitment to truth” shall we site all the historical non-truths perpetuated by scientists ? Of course not. It’s not science vs Philosophy ... It’s Science + Philosophy. Elevate your Thinking and Consciousness. When you measure include the measurer.

How was #AngeloQuinto, who was in his mother’s arms - already down on the floor - a threat?! Why was it necessary to grab him, pin him to the floor, handcuff him, & kneel on his neck - & ignore his pleas of “please don’t kill me” - until he’s unconscious & coughing out blood?
Angelo Quinto was calmly in his mother’s embrace when police arrived.
They grabbed him, handcuffed him, & kneeled on his neck. “Please don’t kill me,” were his last words until he lost consciousness & later died.
Keep putting pressure on Antioch Police. #JusticeForAngeloQuinto

Filipino American man died after police kneeled on his neck.
"He said ‘Please don’t kill me,’" Quinto’s mother reported, describing her son's last words. "I was there. I was watching them. I trusted them. I thought they know what they’re doing."

People need to understand that what's happening to @timnitGebru & @mmitchell_ai at Google, can happen to any Black woman and their allies, anywhere. I'd especially appreciate if people chilled on framing this as a corporation specific thing - it's not. This happens everywhere.

“We can be just as good as wealthy players from SF, Berkeley, or Palo Alto. Just having a coach in the room that believes in the heights of our aptitude can mean everything to a young third culture kid who is still discovering the depths of their own potential.”
I know I’m not as cute as Beth Harmon, but I used to be just as enamored with chess as she was. Cheers to a time when we young cats repped Oakland on the chess board at the state level.

My profile of @timnitGebru based on interviews & documents. In Oct, she was promoted & Jeff Dean asked her 2 look @ ethical risks of large language models. 6 weeks later she was fired

If you take nothing else from our story, take this quote from Chicago West side resident Rochelle Sykes:
“If you can come up with a vaccine in a year, why are we sitting in a community where there is no grocery store with fresh fruits and vegetables.”
