THREAD: A STORY: When I was working for the Department of Veterans Affairs as the supervisor of the San Diego VA Health System Call Center as a GS-9, I wanted to create a monthly customer service award. Kind of like an “employee of the month”. 1/

THIS. I think of disability pride as refusing to be ashamed of or accept lesser treatment because of my disabilities, but celebrating disability is not something all of us can do. I literally became disabled through repeated rapes, sex trafficking, and severe abuse as a child.

If there's anything I've learned over the past couple of days, it's that there are many women in this industry who don't feel welcome. This isn't a me problem. This is an industry-wide problem.

I will be leaving the great Walter Reed Medical Center today at 6:30 P.M. Feeling really good! Don’t be afraid of Covid. Don’t let it dominate your life. We have developed, under the Trump Administration, some really great drugs & knowledge. I feel better than I did 20 years ago!

As a reminder: research shows that people are basically as racist as they believe it is socially acceptable to be. Speak up at the dinner table, say it isn’t OK, be actively anti-racist.

Rep. Ocasio-Cortez: "Mr. Yoho mentioned that he has a wife and two daughters. I am two years younger than Mr. Yoho's youngest daughter. I am someone's daughter, too. My father, thankfully, is not alive to see how Mr. Yoho treated his daughter." abcn.ws/2WNkFvB

Here is the thing to understand about flattening the curve. It only works if we take necessary measures before they seem necessary. And if it works, people will think we over-reacted. We have to be willing to look like we over-reacted.

Read a beautiful thing this morning from the rabbi (Rabbi Yosef Kanefsky) who married us about how social distancing should be counteracted with special measures to avoid social isolation. I'm going to check on someone who is old or sick or alone today.

Anyone claiming they could have built a better version of the Iowa caucus app "in a weekend" is exhibiting exactly the kind of hubris that led to the app in the first place. It would take six months to responsibly design, execute, test, deploy and train people to use a good app.
