I've worked in software development for over 20 years, and most of my career has been in management. I want to share something about the reality of working as a Black man fulfilling leadership roles in tech.

This former Sheraton just off Lake St in Minneapolis, where there has been massive looting and fires, now houses about 200 homeless people. It’s community controlled and run by volunteers

Stop looking for saviors. Divest from celebrities. Divest from single leaders and politicians. The more you look to saviors to validate your frustrations the easier it is for you to get co-opted by the state. No politician is your friend. Even if they do something “right”
lasitha retweeted
If cops shoot tear gas at you, that’s “crowd control”, but if you pick it up and throw it back, that’s “assault with a deadly weapon”. Got it.

We are suing Trump for brutalizing our members and DC residents! Support our campaign by painting the city with our demands, use #DefundMPD to get your art RT'd 1) #DefundMPD 2) Stop Criminalizing Protestors 3) Police Free Schools 4) Ban Stop and Frisk

Being an abolitionist means working to uproot all the oppresive structures and toxic conditions in your life. Systemic, interpersonal, internalized, etc. Abolition is an everyday practice.

Are you discussing demands for your action? Read this for difference between reformist and abolitionist steps in policing. #DefundThePolice

Officer Michael Baker of @DCPoliceDept’s Aviation Unit made this post yesterday as he checked-in saying he was “On Duty. Ready to go hunting!” @ChiefNewsham you and @MayorBowser sanctioning this game? #DCProtests #BlackLivesMatter #DefundThePolice #DefendBlackLife

BREAKING: The 3 other officers involved in #GeorgeFloyd's killing will be charged with aiding and abetting murder, reports the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. Derek Chauvin's charge will be elevated to second-degree murder.
lasitha retweeted
most police are not from and do not live in the communities they are policing. Paid, outside agitators.
lasitha retweeted
if you believe tech and politics are separate... who do you think wrote police payroll systems? or surveillance systems? prison software? anything that ICE uses? this community has a responsibility to start giving a shit

The President of the United States has officially declared those who oppose fascism to be the enemy.
lasitha retweeted
DC, tonight MPD cops under the authority of @ChiefNewsham and @MayorBowser unleashed tear gas into a private home that took in dozens of protesters after they were cornered off for arrests in a neighborhood. This is an absolutely disgusting abuse of power by @DCPoliceDept.
