...at the @Tech4Campaigns all-hands listening to @DonnaHowardTX talk about what it was like to walk off the Texas House floor in protest of the #VoterSuppression bill is blowing my mind. We have so much #VotingRights work to do.
It's been an honor and a pleasure to have served on this team for the past five years. #adopteerights #equality
IT'S OFFICIAL!!! Gov. Ned Lamont has signed PA 21-21 into law. Every single #adoptee born in CT and who is at least 18 yrs old will be able to request their original birth certificate from the town clerk where they were born starting July 1, 2021. #adopteerights #adopteevoices

Just really trying to be patient right now. Some people don't learn as fast as others and that's ok. Something that helps me prioritize socialized content is...what do we want people like - lets say, legislators? - seeing when they go official accounts?
Just FYI- bad #internetcitizenship is running a website that ranks organically on @Google & social accounts w/ 1000s of followers, and then making a call-to-action that could harm the very people you're trying to help. It's #egotistical to not remove it when you've been asked to.
Yup yup.
Whoever says introverts don't make great business leaders is lying.

Nerding out on Connecticut #adopteerights right now. That bill always gets out of committee...but this, this is something special. I can't stop staring. cga.ct.gov/2021/TS/H/PDF/202…
I love this. 🇺🇸💙
Welcome back America! Congratulations to @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris for their election! While we are about to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the Paris Agreement, this victory symbolizes our need to act together more than ever, in view of climate emergency. 🇺🇸

The way @KamalaHarris got Chief Justice Roberts to read Trump's own incriminating words against him out loud by including them in her questions is pure genius.

I am genuinely moved by this podcast right now.
LISTEN to Episode 11 of the @HumaneTech_ “Your Undivided Attention” #podcast, “The Cure for #Hate,” as Tony McAleer - @McAleer, a former white supremacist, describes how #extremism is a living digital organism, the “snake without the head” > humanetech.com/podcast/

I never felt like more of a New Yorker than today. Thank you @NYGovCuomo. #adopteerights
Today @NYGovCuomo signed my bill A5494, the Clean Bill of Adoptee Rights, into law guaranteeing adult adoptees access to their original birth certificates. governor.ny.gov/news/governo…
Soooo much work went into getting this bill passed here in CA and it is long overdue. Thank you, thank you. 🙏

Thanks to @GavinNewsom's signature and the tireless work of @SenatorLeyva & @DavidChiu, the work to #ENDTHEBACKLOG has taken a huge step fwd. We are grateful to partners @NatashasJustice & @NancyOMalleyDA1 for standing with us as we have fought for reform in California.
Why do I suddenly feel rage every time I read The Interface but I can't look away? 🚨Facebook initially tried to fight FTC fines over privacy abuses after the Cambridge Analytica scandal. The company argued that it did not harm consumers. 😲 @CaseyNewton getrevue.co/profile/caseynew…
