In October, 2018, the Times published a report on Google’s handling of sexual-misconduct allegations against Andy Rubin, the Android founder turned Google executive. Google had found one of the claims credible, the Times said, but instead of kicking Rubin out, they’d quietly negotiated a 90-million-dollar exit package. And Rubin wasn’t the only Google exec that the Times alleges got this treatment. The article revealed a system that protected men at the top of the organization, which outraged many women in the company. In response, Claire Stapleton, then a Google employee, suggested to her peers that they engage in collective action to express their concerns and frustrations.
Stapleton helped organize a walkout to a flurry of media coverage and, seemingly, the support of Google leadership. But after news broke, the following January, that a faction of shareholders was suing the board of Google’s parent company over the handling of the Rubin affair, Stapleton’s boss suggested a reorganization to her team— one that would gut her role.

Think back to your favorite game at recess or the moment you learned how to build a cootie catcher. There’s joy in knowing that those experiences are shared by kids across time and place, @isabelfattal writes in The Wonder Reader: https://t.co/DFCEMXdO5Z
A federal judge halted Trump’s ballroom construction until he gets congressional authorization.
But Trump isn’t inclined to seek Congress’s OK — and they don’t appear inclined to give it.

The Justice Department claims that, in an effort to sow conflict in the U.S., Russia funneled millions of dollars to a U.S. company that paid right-wing media influencers. But the indictment is likely “only the tip of the iceberg,” @RadioFreeTom writes. https://t.co/utSp74BDAo
It’s early, but the Republican dynamic screams 2016 primary. DeSantis giving Trump the gentlest of elbows and then pulling a 180 to defend him is a bad omen for non-Trumps.

Pro tip to the hecklers and trackers at our town halls: at least try to look the part. If you've got blue hair and are wearing two masks, you're not fooling anyone.
