If you’re a biotech, building all your software in-house is a really bad idea. It’s expensive and distracting from the work that matters — the science that differentiates you. https://t.co/PhHmJkosuU

Health care is a right — and I will do everything in my power to ensure that all Americans have access to quality, affordable care. Starting today, we’re opening a special enrollment period for health insurance. Head to https://t.co/gRX1fGFEzj to get covered.

[Tiffany Williams @TWilliamsPhD]

Agreed. I enjoyed the roll call.

[Yamiche Alcindor @Yamiche]

This DNC virtual roll call is one of the first examples of a convention aspect that seems stronger than the traditional way of doing things. It’s fascinating to see the diversity of the United States and Americans in so many places with cultural and geographic differences.

Five years ago today, Sandra Bland died while in custody after she had been unlawfully stopped and arrested. Like too many other Black women, her life was cut short by state violence.

We remember you, and we won’t stop fighting for you. #SayHerName

👉🏽 “Something about the datafication of lives dehumanizes them...data are not bricks to be stacked, oil to be drilled...Data are humans to be seen, maybe loved, hopefully taken care of...When we aggregate, we obfuscate the humanity of those our systems represent and impact...”

[Deb Raji @rajiinio]

I wrote "The Discomfort of Death Counts" for Cell's data science journal @Patterns_CP, for their series on COVID-19 & data.

I thought I would be analyzing figures - but I didn’t. Instead, it's about seeing data as humans so we can properly mourn them. 💔

So much going on in this country. Get in where you can and make a difference.

@databoydg 's article on anti-Blackness in the AI community with clear steps towards dismantling systemic racism in the field; reflecting on my graduate school & tech experience, these steps and truths are def applicable across depts & industries. https://t.co/CLrhBRPVjW

I oftentimes struggle 2 consolidate my thoughts in tweets & am fortunate enough 2 come across tweets that do such and hit “retweet”. This is 1 of those occasions. Acknowledging Juneteenth - encouraging employees 2 educate, serve, & contribute is significant. I’m here for it. 👇🏽

[Marco Rogers @polotek]

I've been having a lot of conversations with folks recently trying to pull apart the nuance between gestures that feel performative vs ones that feel like substantive change. It's not easy to navigate. But things like really matter. Eliminating symbols of oppression is important.

[Tiffani Ashley Bell @tiffani]

This is great. Everybody writing, take note.

Both Twitter and Square are making #Juneteenth (June 19th) a company holiday in the US, forevermore. A day for celebration, education, and connection.

[albrey @albreybrown]

On a positive note, on Juneteenth I have the honor of hosting a panel with @ArlanWasHere, @mwseibel, @MandelaSH, and @jarridvtingle . They will share their vision for the future of tech, and how to position yourself to own more of it. https://t.co/ez7MRL8Hra

Today is #BreonnaTaylor’s birthday.
#SayHerName. Think of and pray for those closest to her. Dedicate time to work for #JusticeforBreonnaTaylor. Here’s how. RT. Share.

[albrey @albreybrown]

We gotta stop positioning investing in black founders as "help", and start positioning it as investing in the future of tech. We don't want HELP, we want you to recognize that our ideas have the potential to be as influential as our music and culture.

[City Arts & Lectures @cityartssf]

Tonight 7:30 PT @ruha9 & @mer__edith talk biases built into technology, how COVID-19 harms marginalized communities, & tech elites taking control of our education systems. Watch HERE: https://t.co/Q9AEJDaap0

Webcast is public, but donations are welcome: https://t.co/5bWrcQTlnf!

“Eventually, doctors will find a coronavirus vaccine, but black people will continue to wait, despite the futility of hope, for a cure for racism...The rest of the world yearns to get back to normal. For black people, normal is the very thing from which we yearn to be free.”

[Davey D @mrdaveyd]

I gotta be honest the worst looting I've ever seen take place happened a few weeks ago when corporations collected over 500 billion dollars in stimulus money while everyone else was left with a $1200 dollar check and having to decide if they pay for food or rent..
