Hey Mike Huckabee, I asked around and Coke likes me, Delta agrees with my values, I wear Nikes and my hometown Dodgers won the World Series.
But it’s not because of my ethnicity. It’s because I’m not a sh*thead like you who is adding fuel to anti-Asian hate.

I think I may know why white people are so upset about this Dr. Seuss/cancel culture thing. I was reminded of this story today.
It goes back to the second-most devastating day of my life:
The day I found out the Hardy Boys were white.
A thread
This is a former Google and Facebook software engineering manager. These are his views on BLM and racism in the US.
At top tech companies, Black people consistently make up less than 3% of engineers.
Why is diversity and Black retention so low? Because these are our managers.
Who got PPP loans, funded by American taxpayers:
—400 country clubs and golf resorts
—Private jet companies
—The exclusive membership club Soho House
—Kanye West
—Kushner's friends
Who didn't:
—90% of small businesses owned by BIPOC and women
Crony capitalism at its worst.
@Gap still waiting for you to respond to my DM about the missing package. Three calls to cust svc on hold for 1.5-2 hrs, an email with no reply, then you finally DMed me back once and not again in a week.
I ordered PJs for my son from @Gap, thinking it‘d be simple. Part of the order never arrived; I’ve called cust svc, put on hold for 1.5-2 hrs x3. Emailed, was told they would not reply & to call. Others tweeted & got replies. Not me. What is even happening?! @Gap is a large corp!
@Gap please help, I’ve tried everything - called but put on hold for over 2 hrs 3 times, emailed but told no response would come and to call, tweeting here but no reply. My order was marked as delivered but I never received it. What do I do?
@Gap 2 hrs and counting on cust svc line, third time in a row. Tell me what I need to do to get you to take responsibility for the crappy website experience and messed up order handling and fulfillment?! I just wanted pjs for my son 😭
@Gap I’ve been on hold with cust svc for nearly 2 hours. This is the 3rd time I’ve tried to get thru. Items in my order marked as delivered but I never received. This is ridiculous. I also paid for 2 day shipping and some items still not here 5 days later wtf
TY @LizKrueger for co-sponsoring the full #SaferNYAct. The time for police reform is now. We need you to support a FULL repeal of 50-a - no amendments, and push for passage of the rest of the #SaferNYAct. #Repeal50a

You learn that there will be moments, random and unbidden, where to save your life you must convince a stranger that you are in some amorphous way good. And at the same time you learn that it probably will not make a difference.
