We can't solve racial injustice if we don't share access to the wealth generated in tech. I will match the next $25,000 in donations to @joinpursuit to train diverse and low income software engineers. As @web said, “hire or wire” - more of this: https://www.youtube.com/...

Black Lives Matter. We need police reform. We need criminal justice reform. We need the right to protest in peace. We need to defend the free press as they cover said protests. We need everyone to be able to vote. We need to actually vote. And we need to vote for black leaders.

I am so so sad about #GeorgeFloyd and feel for his family. I am also angry. Everyone in America deserves to live without fear. We need to treat people equally, fairly, respectfully— especially blacks who often get treated so poorly.

Agree or disagree with Sony's decision, the fact remains that the optics of doing this event would've been poor. Rioting and looting are engulfing American cities. Would be tonedeaf not to delay. It's disappointing, but we've waited this long. We can wait a bit longer! <3 https:/…
