As policymakers relax formal mandates, I’d ask students+colleagues to continue to mask-up+distance. This respects our peers+colleagues who may be vulnerable/immunocompromised, or who have caregiving roles that require protective measures. It’s a basic form of respect for everyone

We don’t get to arbitrarily decide when #Covid19 is over. It’s over someday only through our personal actions & policies to protect our community.
P.s. 3000+ Americans died of COVID yesterday.

Eileen Gu: “I’m not trying to keep anyone happy…I’m living my best life, having a great time…If people don’t like me, their loss, they’re never going to win the Olympics.”
The one psychologically healthy American of Gen Z chose China. Think about that.

DirecTV is officially dropping OANN, cutting off 90% of the propaganda network's revenue. Retweet if you think Fox should be next!

Here’s a clearer (& scarier) look at the Asian woman in her 70’s shoved to the ground at 9th & Franklin in Oakland yesterday.
A man brushes his hood back & w/the same hand approaches the woman from behind & pushes her over.
There’s more. (1/2) #StopAsianHate #StopAAPIHate

The original headline apparently said it was a disappointment that a Black mayor was not elected. This is white liberal supremacy at work, not so subtly claiming that @wutrain is white adjacent because her win was not as a "real" woman of color.

NPR: America needs more people of color elected to higher office.
<Asian American woman elected as mayor of Boston>
NPR: No, not *that* color.
They really do view every person through the lens of racial essentialism first, and it's evil. I'm sorry, it just is.

NPR celebrates the first Asian woman to be Boston mayor, then says she's a "disappointment" to many people because she's not black 🤡 notthebee.com/article/stare-…

With a 500 pound, invisible walrus sitting on his head, the man made the long, horrible trip down the stairs toward the coffee.
He was a hero.

Very excited to announce that @EnvoyProxy for Windows is now considered GA. Congratulations to the cross-functional team from @VMware and @Microsoft that put in a massive amount of work in order to get this feature over the finish line. 🎉

Passed a very mangled car this morning on Route 80. Front end looked totally destroyed. Driver stood next to it, rubbing his neck but otherwise OK. A team of automotive safety engineers justified their existence on this planet Earth in a few milliseconds.

So many mask policy analogies I could make with this video. But for now, let’s just enjoy a gorilla 🦍 backpedaling when it hits cold water…

The rule is now simple: get vaccinated or wear a mask until you do.
The choice is yours.

Indonesia tracked health workers for 28 days after getting their second dose of China's Sinovac vaccine and found that it protected 100% of them from death and 96% from hospitalization trib.al/Uh5Kv1O

In Maine, we have no voter ID laws, we have same day registration, we have no-excuse absentee voting, we have mail-in voting, we have early voting, we have 24/7 drop boxes.
And we have virtually no fraud.
Expanding ballot access doesn't encourage fraud; it encourages VOTING.

As if hearing an 80-year old man cry out for help after getting knocked to the ground in San Leandro isn’t bad enough…
...the suspects are teens as young as 16 and you can hear one laughing loudly.
