This is a long post about someone who has very obviously just gotten into politics. It is good for people to try and see how to impart change. Here are some constructive critical questions for the author:

1. Why no mention of No Tech For Apartheid or Google Workers United, who have been doing similar work for years?

2. What about all of the other police, DHS, and military contracts Google has been a part of? Did this problem really just start with the second (not even the first!) Trump presidency?

3. What does a focus on exclusively those at the top levels of a hierarchy, with minimal focus on incentive structures and wider systems, say about your theory of change? Was there a power analysis done, or was it assumed that "big title" = "powerful"?

Side Note: Incredibly insulting of James Dean to say email 3 CEOs.

Not to be rude, but this post just puts unwarranted faith in "science" and "experts".

For example, experts apparently collect evidence in "an unbiased, objective manner". What? Says who. Those "methods have to be available to other scientists for replication." Seems like an odd thing for an article with no author and two citations.

Frankly, there is no objective research, and fetishizing authority and "experts" (a group of people where, e.g., African Americans are underrepresented) is both harmful and dumb. There is a ton of literature on how science often does not follow it's systematic claims at all, check out Kuhn's work for an intro.

the point is the people in power represent a limited set of elites that are not invested in the best interests of anyone but themselves

This book was absolutely revolutionary for me

A far more interesting article with less focus on discounting feminist concepts out of hand

this vaguely aligns with my experiences

If you could anywhere it'd be the east side (think starting in NY), itd be a lot easier if coaches and trains were allowed though.

I mean...hopefully eventually ..

I wish I could tell you, there is something to be said about 1) being live with no recording so records of dissent dont exist and 2) like the other commenter said slow government response

I suspect it's a lot of small things and social network multiplicative effect

I'm an Iranian-American and it's MASSIVE in Iran, only heard about it here and there in the US

That's so cool! Are you able/willing to share the course name/a course page?

Probably true, but the point was that the daughter was capable of quick multiplication, the age of the dog was..decidedly a minor detail.

Some things just need more memorization than others. I used a ton of flashcards for Latin vocab and learning the farsi alphabet but almost none for my CS classes (used notes for those).
