Well it SHOULD be, am I right @amyschumer!! 🤣😆🤣
You know you're a good sketch comic (among other things) when your joke is still in someone's head years later...one of my old faves.
Keep being a-w-e-s-o-m-e! 😻
Great quote from John Legend in convo w/ john a. powell from @oandbinstitute, re: voting (+ more):
“Love is…that you see + honor the humanity of people you don’t even know. You want a public policy that honors their humanity. That’s how we love in public.” #OurSolidarity #Vote
.@repbarbaralee @SenAlexPadilla @SenFeinstein, across @UofCalifornia, researchers are combating diseases, advancing science and saving lives! Help grow medical research with increased #NIH funding. #RallyMedRes #UCinDC p2a.co/twitterimage?id=16630…

Hey @PGE4Me, when you say you're going to be here between 5pm-8pm and your guy calls at 7:45 and says he'll "be there in an hour", then calls at NINE:45pm to ask if I still want him to come....just, WOW. I see you handle your customer service about as well as preventing 🔥🔥...😒
One of the fastest ways Congress can help low-income students afford college is by investing in the #PellGrant in reconciliation. @repbarbaralee @SenAlexPadilla @SenFeinstein, will you commit to this investment? #DoublePell #UC4Pell

Anyone who wants to go to college should have the financial support to do so, which is why we should ask Congress to #DoublePell. Ready to add your voice? #UC4Pell bit.ly/3f8S2kS @UCAdvocacy

.@Rendon63rd @vfong @CASenatorJim, as a UC grad, I hope you'll support the Governor’s budget proposal for @UofCalifornia, which transforms lives. This $ expands access to health care in medically underserved areas + provides more mental health services for students. #UCAdvocate
Congress should #DoublePell because no one should:
1) be turned away from a world-class education for inability to pay
2) have to worry about basic needs while studying, or
3) defer their dreams b/c they're hampered by a life of debt

FINALLY!! Bi-partisan action in BOTH chambers!
Stand with Representatives @rosadelauro & @TomColeOK04 along with Senators @ChrisCoons & @JohnCornyn in their collective effort to gain support for the "Civics Secures Democracy Act" and fund civics education.
@gencitizen
Will you ask lawmakers to support restoring cuts to @UofCalifornia? Let’s invest in the wellbeing & success of students, expand healthcare services to underserved & vulnerable CA communities, and support the state’s third largest workforce. bit.ly/3dKFK7N #UCAdvocate

Hey @PGE4Me, when you get a chance (you know, when you're done blowing up and/or setting communities on fire), can you maybe *not* knock on our door at 7:50AM ON A SUNDAY MORNING (!!!) asking ppl to move their cars so you can do some treetrimming, followed by hrs of chainsawing?!
When you're phone banking for a cause you believe in and the music in between calls comes on and it's from one of your favorites podcast episodes and all of a sudden you're smiling and, for once, almost happy to be on hold... Thanks @replyall - you rock! 🤘
.@AdobeSpark My colleagues and I are getting dizzy watching our respective spinning wheel all day. Seems y'all are having some technical problems? Any insights as to when this might get resolved? Thanks much

"Oh, I make those 'Functional Drawstring' stickers you may have seen around...?"
"Why, yes, of course! How EVER would we sort ourselves out without them. Drawstrings these days...so complicated!"

Fantastic @BerkeleyHaas panel on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in the Workplace...from @AwakenCo trainings in Tech, to Admissions at @WestPoint_USMA, to HR at @magoosh, all these Haasome alumni share their wisdom + go #BeyondYourself.

Led by the renowned @profjohnapowell & the @HaasInstitute (and MC'd by the inimitable @chinakahodge, my @ybca cousin), this is what 1500+ amazing people committed to building bridges and inclusion in our community looks like! #OBConf2019
Today is one of those days I'm *especially* proud to work at UC Berkeley. The @HaasInstitute's #OBConf2019 bringing together amazing thinkers and leaders to create more connectivity and a more inclusive defintion of "We".
