I hope everyone who can, across the US, does everything they can to signal boost and protect @AOC. The CongressWoman is breaking norms and is therefore an existential threat to unchecked power.

Remember when the 'real ones' would call out injustice - until they got elected?

@RepJimmyPanetta my local congressperson is all about dialogue while refusing to be bold. I remember having a conversation about it with a friend, grousing about 'Jimmy', the friend said Panetta can't do anything because he doesn't have any power - yet.

His dad was #CIA,
Chief of Staff, SecDef, and a beloved congressperson from MoCo.

His mom and dad are multimillionaires who have the Panetta Institute where THE most powerful come and normalize power (I enjoy the lectures though, guilty pleasure)

Their homebase is #Carmel, where absent AG titans

One emerging theme of MicroConf this year that I'm also seeing in Silicon Valley is that there is an awful lot of money in tech circles.

Increasingly, it's "just" the consequence of building things and selling them to customers then getting better at business for X years.
This is causing a lot of folks looking for their next adventure to be very differently equipped wading into the river the second time, and I think that is changing the shape of the river, too.

A community defined by non-availability of capital now has high quality access to it.
(The bootstrapper community has long chafed under "Hmm Silicon Valley professional money won't invest in a business which hopes to one day be 7 figures a year in Iowa" and now there are a bunch of folks who a) did that and b) now have 7 figures a year to redeploy.)

#JulianAssange Today's QUOTE:

2010 May 18: Oslo Freedom Forum: "We are now approaching the state of Orwell's dictum, that 'he who controls the present, controls the past.'
He who controls internet servers controls the intellectual record of mankind ..."

Today's #JulianAssange QUOTE:

When asked what exactly he does in life, his answer is long, but precise:

"I am an activist, journalist, software programmer expert in cryptography, specialized in systems designed to protect human rights defenders."

Today's #JulianAssange QUOTE:

"So what is it that we DON'T we know about now?

There's an enormous hidden world out there . . .

People need to NOT be comfortable that what they receive from the media is all that is happening.""

Trump continues to demonize journalists as enemies of the people and paint immigrants as invaders. He should be careful.

History shows that such tactics can backfire. bloom.bg/2DCW6tf
In the 1790s, President John Adams mounted an assault on immigration and the freedom of the press as a way to maintain his supremacy. Sound familiar? bloom.bg/2DCW6tf
The Federalist Party’s attacks focused on French and Irish migrants. Why?

These newcomers gravitated toward the political opposition: Thomas Jefferson’s Democratic-Republicans Party bloom.bg/2DCW6tf
