Some people ask: Why would you impeach and convict a president who has only a few days left in office? The answer: Precedent. It must be made clear that no president, now or in the future, can lead an insurrection against the U.S. government.
What is the gracious way for a President to concede? Here are 3 recent cases: Gerald Ford(1976), Jimmy Carter(1980), & George H.W. Bush(1992). They did their duty, helped our nation to reconcile & led by example. Will President Trump follow their lead—or further divide America?

As polls begin to close in certain parts of the country, remember to stay in line.
If you’re in line at your polling place before it closes, you’re able to vote.
Earlier today @jomalleydillon spoke to folks across the country about what they can expect tomorrow. The bottom line? If we turn out and vote — we’ll win. If you haven't voted yet make sure to confirm your polling place now: https://t.co/XL8fO5SXJr (THREAD)

"I really rebel against this idea that politics has to be a place full of ego and where you're constantly focused on scoring hits against each one another. Yes, we need a robust democracy, but you can be strong, and you can be kind." Jacinda Ardern
The folks at @cogent_co (where I work) want to hear from product managers, developers, designers & tech leaders on how their digital product team *actually* works together. Have your say in the 2020 Australia & NZ Product Teams Survey https://t.co/nIrGhBLKTs
Sprints are supposed to be forcing functions to narrow scope, produce something useful for a customer, and make improvements in how we work together. They are NOT for trying to get developers to deliver as many story points as possible. Our industry has this so, so wrong.
If it's cold where you are, here is some heat. Scott Galloway w/ straight talk on Facebook at @DCNorg exec Summit this Friday.
