An electrical engineer, Kimberly Bryant noticed few classmates or colleagues looked like her. When she realized nothing had changed in 2010, she left her job & founded Black Girls Code that has now exposed 10s of 1000s of black, Latina & Native American girls to computer science, & programming.

And people want us to "wait and see" what he'll do to education?! He's telling us what he'll do!! He's going to destroy it! #nationalteacherwalkout

The Brad Pitt segment made me a little sick. This administration is doing everything they can to undermine the concept of unity, the power of diversity, etc. Trump is against everything that the spot is about. And he’s in attendance.

This is a hostile takeover of the federal government by a private citizen of unlimited means with no restrictions and no transparency. Welcome to the Deep State www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

Another powerful piece from Heather Cox Richardson. @hcrichardson.bsky.social

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

Missed the inauguration today. But tuning in many hours later I see what’s in store for next 4 years: one long incoherent campaign rant with some awful policy decisions that affect real people thrown in for flavor. #inauguration

Obama’s inauguration - 28 degrees I’m going to leave this here ALL day Jan. 20 …..🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

www.nytimes.com/2025/01/12/o... Much that we took for granted over the last 50 years — from the climate to birthrates to political institutions — is breaking down; movements and technologies that seek to upend the next 50 years are breaking through.

Why are Bezos, Zuckerberg, Musk, Pichai and Tim Cook visiting and giving money to Trump ? Because they are in “The Race “ to become the dominant platform in the world. Amazon/Anthropic vs FB/LLama vs Google/Gemini vs Twitter/Grok, vs IPhones/ChatGpt is the penultimate global power war ever.

The bots are the new baristas and I don’t like it. Have you noticed? Both Dunkin and Starbucks now have order screens in stores right in front of the old order counter. No human contact…1/2

Love!

The other swans aren't gonna believe this

Good week! We interviewed a friend who is also ideal customer. When he saw our wireframes and MVP mockup he lost his mind loving it and also gave us more ideas. Capped the day with very promising angel meeting. #startups #founders

Solstice celebration opening weekend at Mt. Auburn cemetery was fun! It runs throughout December #boston

Where are my #Boston #startup #founders? Would love to connect.

Puffy jacket season is back in Boston! It may be cold today but in 10 years I bet we’re the new Boca. #boston

Bravo to him! Some self-awareness and realization that being unqualified in a too-big job can actually hurt the country. I wish other nominees had this humility. As “the gravity of this very important responsibility set in,” he changed his mind about accepting the nomination. #DEA #nomination

Just submitted first pitch application to angel group. Cofounder and I felt like we were back in college squeezing in before deadline. Biz plan, financials, deck, etc. Have worked on for awhile now but still feels imperfect. Still, done is better than perfect for now. 🤞 #startups #founders
