Read what I said again while you ponder the question "why should we get rid of people based on private emails?"

A lot of white people ask us to believe that racists can do their job without harming us so long as they don't about out loud that they hate us. They tell us that we can't tell that we're being harmed. Because otherwise there would be evidence. Like emails.

Defending a transphobic multimillionaire while a working class trans person loses their job.

Where are your priorities? What is wrong with you?

The emails are not the problem. The emails are evidence.

Jon Gruden’s email regarding Colin Kaepernick: “They should cut this f*ck.”

Gruden sent this to a NFL team executive while working for ESPN.

The level of media training senior leadership at these bigger companies receive, and the active support they receive in any response they craft, will blow your mind.

Even at a tiny org like NPM, we took comms super seriously (h/t to @cowperthwait &co).

this is a very important point: NONE of what is going on with Netflix right now is an accidental PR oopsies. It's all feeding very intentionally into their PR strategy and the profit they're going to make off that special (and other similar stuff)

i hate how obvious it is that netflix clearly ran the numbers and decided the risk of bad press/membership loss was going to be negligible compared to the gains from spreading transphobic content

i hope folks make enough of a stink that the gamble blows up in their face

I’m retweeting these because my work on the hustle economy suggests that many of the people who are likely to be on twitter don’t know how wages work, works. They don’t know how routine wage theft happens or why we shouldn’t just put everything online.

“Ultimately, the theoretical confronted the practical, and something happened – the result was the EZLN.

Therefore, our combatants are right when they say, ‘We are not Marxist-Leninists, we are Zapatistas.’”

Now imagine a creator economy that was built on cooperative principles, one in which creators shared equitably in the financial benefits + governance rights of the platforms on which they create and share their work.

Let's build it together 😎

Netflix’s response to the Chappelle situation has been horrible. If you’re going to stand by what you put up, stand by it and let it rock. But coming up with the ludicrous excuses of “what we stream has no real world effect” and then suspending and firing trans employees…

Generations ago, Americans came together to build roads, bridges, and schools to create opportunity. But for decades, Washington has let those investments slip and pushed more goodies to the rich and powerful. The #BuildBackBetter plan is our chance to invest in all our people.
