My mom has stage 4 terminal #OvarianCancer. She devoted her entire life to raising my sister and me. We never really had much money but we always had a roof, food on the table, and unconditional love. Could you help us do something fun for her before she leaves? Check thread👇

Excellent updates from #Ethiopia! We were able to deliver on our project to support the Orthopedics department of Dessie Hospital. Thank you to all the donors! Special thanks to Dr. Ephrem who coordinated the effort on the ground and helped deliver medical devices and supplies!

Please help us rebuild the Orthopedics Surgery department of Dessie Hospital. It was one of the most looted parts of the hospital, and critical for treating war casualties. Please share widely. #Ethiopia #Dessie

@PatrickRuffini The City of Alexandria would be the epicenter, followed by Arlington and Fairfax County.

@robsaker @mtracey My friend, you seem to be quoting a 10 year old MPI paper that is based on the CPS, which is an estimate based a monthly survey of about 60,000 U.S. households. Even the MPI itself estimates over 250K #Ethiopian|s in the Washington Metro alone. Have you spent any time in the DMV?

[Azarias Reda, PhD @azarias]

GA Sen @ReverendWarnock is up for reelection next year. If the #VAGOV race is any indication, it is time for the him to engage his #Ethiopia|n constituents to learn about their issues, #AGOA and Biden's failing foreign policy in the Horn of Africa. @AmericaEthiopia @EA_DevCouncil

[Azarias Reda, PhD @azarias]

@PatrickRuffini Pat, there was also some interesting dynamics playing out with Ethiopian-American voters in NoVA. Traditionally Dem, but angry over Biden's sanction on Ethiopia. In Alexandria, Ethiopians are the largest single immigrant group, and in VA over 100K strong. Went strong R yesterday.

[Azarias Reda, PhD @azarias]

As a result, traditionally Democratic #Ethiopia|n voters in VA voted heavily Republican today. Expect more of the same in tight senate races in the midterms in states like Georgia and Nevada with heavy Ethiopian representation. @AmericaEthiopia @GlennYoungkin @NYTnickc

[Azarias Reda, PhD @azarias]

Ethiopian-American voters helped flip the governor race in Virginia tonight. The 100K+ population has been deeply angered by the Biden Admin's support for an armed rebellion in Ethiopia that is fighting to oust the democratically elected government there. #VAGOV #Ethiopia

@AlemayehuGK Can you please DM? Thank you!

However, a key problem is you have to be all in on the DO platform. @heroku has the advantage of running within AWS, which allows teams to mix and match services with native AWS services without significant performance hit.

Glad to see @digitalocean is putting a real effort to building a PaaS product, which even seems to work with Heroku buildpacks (looks like this is the result of their NanoBox acquisition)

Tropical Africa's only BSL 4 Lab is in Gabon (https://t.co/CnJjAuDJmQ). I wish they researched this topic further to quantify tropical Africa's real risk from Covid-19 - https://t.co/j98xs74XeJ
