This country disgusts me more and more everyday. It's unfathomable. All of us lucky tech workers owe our help to whats going on right now. Do NOT be silent. Get out there tonight and tomorrow. CIS, white, whatever, allies need to be on the streets this weekend, you're valued.

This is a tipping point but we need allies, especially people who know tech. There are grass roots protest organizations popping up everywhere that need serious pro bono tech help. If you work on distributed systems or production networks this stuff is stupid simple to you.

Split your work between fast & impermeable systems to our democracy.

Stop calling me an "ally". I'm a human being. I belong to the same group you do. You can appeal to me the same way you appeal to everyone else. Thanks.

If you’re not an ally, you’re not an ally.

how can one tap into the stream of information and find groups which need help? where can one learn more?

Reminds me of the Bush quote "you're either with us, or against us". Polarization generally doesn't lead to good results for a society.
