If we give this election our all and work together, President Biden and Vice President Harris will be reelected. Guaranteed.

On April 9, 1865, the Confederate army surrendered to the Union.

During their retreat, the Confederates burned down their own capital, the city of Richmond, VA - my current home. They burned 90% of the business district, all the warehouses and goods. The citizens were left destitute and homeless.

I need you to remember this when you're fighting white supremacy: these people will turn on everyone else to save themselves. They're cowards who believe in nothing but their own self interests.

Yesterday, #Trump repeated a vile lie, falsely accusing Democrats of having babies "executed after birth" — similar to a claim Nazis made to vilify Jews.

Most media ignored the lie & wrote that Trump is "moderating on abortion."

This is how the media are normalizing fascism.

Biden is announcing a new plan to reduce student debt for about 30M Americans & cancel it entirely for more than 4M, on top of the $146B he's already canceled — this after Republicans successfully sued to block previous debt relief.

Imagine suing to keep Americans in debt!

When you hear them say
(and you will hear them say)
that avian influenza
only poses a risk
to farm workers
do not reply by telling them
“for now”
no, instead remind them
(and remind yourself)
that farm workers are people too.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”

It’s about control.

@CLMilne @mekkaokereke I'm torn about it. I'm ticked off that the networks didn't think the woman's NCAA FINAL was worth prime time. Of course it was. On the other side, though, I'm happy that so many young girls who might not have been able to stay up past 11 on a school night were able to watch it in the afternoon. Not the reason for the timing, but a happy byproduct.

TODAY: Biden announces major action on student debt relief.

What's in the news?

Trump's shifting abortion stance, Trump suing his judge, Trump's fundraising claims.

TOMORROW: Look for another story about how voters don't feel like Biden's done anything.

See how this works?

So many folks are planning a trip to Cupertino for #WWDC24, either to attend the Apple Park event or to come to some of the many community events. I keep seeing people asking what it's like there during the week, and tomorrow I'll be answering exactly that in a new video

Swift's DocC has done so much for lifting the entire community.

It is the launchpad for a virtuous cycle to maximize the value of your code.

It seems almost obvious in retrospect, but I have spent decades struggling with this, and watched hundreds of projects flop in this last mile.

Kudos to whoever decided to fund this and see it through.

Give those guys a bonus and a promotion.

The narrative around Universal Basic Income often gets twisted into a saga of laziness. But here's food for thought: UBI will be the most significant productivity booster we've yet to embrace. Freed from survival stress, innovation and creativity will flourish like never before.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was killed in Memphis 56 years ago today.

He died while visiting the city in support of sanitation workers who were striking for better pay and safety measures.

Let's honor MLK's legacy by renewing our commitment to both racial and economic justice.

The SwiftUI team has a last minute opening for a Summer ’24 student intern!

Our interns prototype new features through all stages of development. Past projects include interactive widgets and pie/donut charts.

Please no DMs!

And for my next trick, a full cart of groceries loaded into... an SUV? No! A mere bicycle!
