I was taught to be 'reasonable' and 'civil' and 'pragmatic'. The only civil, reasonable, and pragmatic thing for us to do as a society is defund the police, and disperse that money on community initiatives that don't have a body count.

Day after day of gun violence in America. Nothing changes -- a column @markzbarabak wrote on 5/16 that we could run on what seems like a weekly basis, just adding another city to the list. https://t.co/RJJ2VGO7yl

Now that I'm back at work: #LicoricePizza is the whitest movie I've ever seen. It didn't make sense & main characters were insufferable. Why are we highlighting underage romance?! He's 15. That was disturbing as fuck. The casual racism. Wtf. I was uncomfortable the entire time.

I have never heard this from my parents. 😂😭

Women who stand up for themselves get penalized.

51 studies: a woman who negotiates for herself fears—and faces—backlash as selfish & aggressive.

If she negotiates for others, suddenly she seems caring.

I want to live in a world that celebrates women advocating for themselves.

“You talk when you believe that your words have consequences, that someone is listening, and that change is possible. You don’t share stories when no one is listening. You don’t negotiate when you believe there’s no chance you’ll win.”

Microsoft hired entrepreneur Jeffrey Ma to run its startup business and connect with Silicon Valley.

Since Ma took over, some insiders say there have been HR complaints and an exodus of senior women. Microsoft said it found no discrimination. 👇

As politically active Gen Z workers come to determine the norms and styles of the workplace, some managers are struggling to balance the demands of employees for political engagement with their own sense of what’s appropriate for their brands. https://t.co/BDJIGQlbdw

I cry every time I see the empty seats in the Olympic Stadium. This has been such a sad time. It’s coming out of me in fits and starts

Breaking News: Parts of the Amazon are now emitting more carbon dioxide than they absorb, reducing the forest’s ability to be a buffer for climate change, a new study found.

"This is a negative loop," said an author of the paper. https://t.co/O6LiBaxdIi

In Opinion

“What if lower birthrates are a good thing?” writes Jill Filipovic in a guest essay. “For a great many individual women, reconsidering motherhood doesn’t reflect hardship or unmet desire, but rather a new landscape of opportunity.”

Right now, 50 Democratic senators represent 41.5 million more people than the 50 Republican senators.

By 2040, if population trends continue, 70% of Americans will be represented by just 30 senators, and 30% of Americans by 70 senators. https://t.co/nOCCSEJJWb
