Congress needs to pass universal background checks, ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and confirm Steve Dettelbach as head of the ATF.
It’s time to turn this pain into action.

Every American CEO, every corporate leader, every company based in Texas (@HP, @Oracle, @AmericanAir, @SouthwestAir, @WholeFoods, @Dell, @HEB) has a moral responsibility to publicly join the coalition demanding stronger gun laws. Today.

The idea that an 18-year-old can walk into a store and buy assault weapons is just wrong.
What in God’s name do you need an assault weapon for except to kill someone?

It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.

Dear @POTUS (& @PressSec)
An ambitious, but simple plan to convert holidays into an time to REDUCE #COVID19
1) Give every American 4 #RapidTests
2) Ask every American to test on Dec 25, 28, 31, Jan 3
3) Simultaneous mass severing of transmission chains can collapse outbreaks

Retweet if you are or support a glass-ceiling breaker in #STEM. We have a long way to go, but I am so happy to see research and science continuing to shift in who sits at the table. Contributions from diverse and all perspectives are critical to advancing science. #STEMdiversity

1/n Long thread, but of crucial importance. The COVID-19 situation in India is as dire as can be. And it is not just THEIR problem, as long as virus circulates in the world, it becomes EVERYONE'S problem. We live in a global society; viruses don't respect national borders.

I’m seeing a massive disconnect (more so than usual) between the two twitter worlds I usually inhabit — the US and India. It is important to bridge the two now for a very important reason: #CovidIndia

This is a plea to the US government to help India. What you can do:
-Help with Oxygen & Oxygen generators
-Release Astra Zeneca vaccine supplies
-Lift the export ban & send them raw materials for vaccines
As bad as this looks. It's 10 times worse. The Indian people need you.

We just paused an entire vaccine rollout because of a complication with a risk of 1 in 1 million.
For Black men, the lifetime risk of being killed by police is 1 in 1000.
Where is our pause? pnas.org/content/116/34/1679…

1. Today is the most significant FEC deadline since the 1/6 insurrection.
We'll learn which corporations are keeping their promises and which are hoping people have stopped paying attention.
I'll be tracking the most significant filings in this thread.
Follow if interested.

Chicago police kill Black people at a rate 22x higher than white people and kill Latinx people at a rate 6x higher. This is the most extreme racial disparity in fatal police violence of any major city. The only place that comes close is Minneapolis. mappingpoliceviolence.org

Thread: We need to get a few things straight, people.
Those advocating for the return of the SAT in admissions because "other things seem to favor wealthy students" seem to be missing something.
Something kind of big.

I'm fascinated by this simple formula to create bit fields that look like alien art:
(x ^ y) % 9
ALT VALUE = 9

Tonight Georgia’s legislature passed a bill brazenly intended to make it harder for Georgians to vote.
Among its outrageous provisions: it criminalizes *giving water to voters who are waiting in line.*
It’s no wonder Gov. Kemp hid behind closed doors while he signed it.

America has an ugly history of anti-Asian racism. My great uncle, who was in the internment camps like most of my family, had the evacuation poster on his wall until he died. A reminder. Never. Again.

Good god. Even I who knew it was staggeringly bad, did not know the extent. Travel with me into the abyss that is the Minneapolis Police Department. The abyss that you somehow think is reformable, cuz your body is not on the line.

The party of "Freedom Fries" would like you to know that "cancel culture" is a very serious problem.
