  I really like this paragraph from @tim_cook's open letter today. It perfectly sums up how I feel. I am not allowing myself to wish for this to end because it's inconvenient. I want all of this to end with change. That's all there can be. https://www.apple.com/... https://twitter.…

  “This is a moment when many people may want nothing more than a return to normalcy, or to a status quo that is only comfortable if we avert our gaze from injustice. As difficult as it may be to admit, that desire is itself a sign of privilege” - @tim_cook https://www.apple.com/..…

  We stand with the Black community & against white supremacy, racism, & police brutality & condemn the killings of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, Nina Pop & countless others. Here's how we're committing to change #BlackLivesMatter https://nianticlabs.com…

  Progress, but let's be transparent. Why was this not part of your initial action, why did it take three days to announce these donations, and when are you paying taxes? Do your Black employees a solid and do the right thing without needing to be called out https://twitter.com/...

  Glad EA took the time to not just put out an image blurb and took some concrete action — 1M $ in donations to relevant charities + matching any of our personal donations at 200% + workshops, etc. Just a fraction of what's needed, but every little bit helps. Enough is enough. http…

  We make games to bring people together. We can't be silent in the face of the systemic injustice that harms the Black community. Instead, we stand in solidarity and call for safety, for equality, and for an end to the racist and brutal treatment of Black people in our country. ht…

  There is still much much MUCH more to do. We must all continue to push for it. Real actions, not words. The needle has to be moved so far that it's going to take a LOT of action. #BlackLivesMatter https://blog.aboutamazon.com/ ...

  Amazon abuses its monopoly power to help surveil communities of color, suppress wages, mistreat workers, and destroy independent businesses. There is nothing just nor equitable about that. https://blog.aboutamazon.com/ ...

  This seems like a real, lasting impact of the protests. Americans have all heard stories of police brutality before. But they've never seen videos, day after day, of cops gone wild in different jurisdictions across the country. https://www.nytimes.com/...

  .@TaylorLorenz spoke to @JordanUhl, who created a supercut of clips showing outrageous police violence —which people have watched tens of millions of times — to reframe the public conversation about the common element in so many protests: police violence https://www.nytimes.com/.…

• @hshaban Hamza Shaban on x

  On viral images of police violence: “It moves us away from the ‘there are bad people on both sides’ or ‘there are good people on both sides’ argument and really highlights law enforcement's aggressive attitude toward black people displaying their rights.” https://www.nytimes.com/…

• @dabeard David Beard on x

  “None of this is new. It's just finally being recorded.” Tens of millions of people have downloaded a supercut of police brutality during the #GeorgeFloyd protests; Sadly, @JordanUhl has found enough new instances for another. https://www.nytimes.com/... @TaylorLorenz

  “When there's one clip you can turn away, when there's two you start to get a better picture, when you see so many examples it's impossible to ignore them as anomalies.” Love this @TaylorLorenz piece on just how viral the police brutality compilation is https://www.nytimes.com/..…

  Amazon's top lawyer sent a “Black Lives Matter” memo.  But he didn't mention his own racial controversy.

• @ekp Ellen K. Pao on x

  I am obligated to call you out: You should have shut down the_donald instead of amplifying it and its hate, racism, and violence. So much of what is happening now lies at your feet. You don't get to say BLM when reddit nurtures and monetizes white supremacy and hate all day long …

  Facial recognition is now a key investigative tool for police departments across the U.S., with nearly every major city and many smaller towns now capable of searching for a person's identity with nothing more than a picture of their face. https://read.medium.com/UKt4lTc
