Hard to express the hurt, rage and sadness I feel as a Jewish person with @AIPAC spending a million to boost a pro-trump Republican at the expense of a talented Black woman. Our people deserve so so much better.

one of the interesting differences between organizing/mvmt culture and startup culture is startups emphasize "no one believed in me but i did it any way, screw them" narratives organizing teaches you that building trust and collabing w/ others is a strength not a weakness
