A bittersweet announcement as I say goodbye to the organization that has been my professional home for over a decade (and to the many, many incredible people I worked with along the way), but I'm truly excited and grateful for the opportunity to join the stellar team @NTIAgov

@amac Achy, headache, and crippling fatigue (struggling not to fall asleep during meetings)- I basically just stayed awake as long as I could that evening and then slept through the rest of it. Felt mostly fine by the next morning, but was still pretty tired for the next couple of days

Got a booster yesterday (was J&J, and got Moderna). Which is great -- Yay Science! But also there were SO MANY KIDS getting their first dose. The energy was so amazing and jubilant.
I am here for that energy.

@Ltpietrzak Ha - I just asked Brent if we should go to the basement. He was like, “why?” I did ask him to go bring our tomato plants closer to the side of the house though. Nebraska born and raised!

It’s been a privilege working with @rmack over the past decade and watching @rankingrights grow into a leader on human rights in the digital age.
Rebecca: it's bittersweet to say goodbye, but we're all better off for what you've accomplished here. Cheers to your next chapter!

@Ltpietrzak Yes! We just had this on a return flight, and I was struck by the fact that this view never gets old.

Listen to @FranOchillo and keep this front of mind, particularly as we talk about $100B in outlays of federal funding for broadband.
Next Century Cities@NextCentCit
Nobody knows their community better than the local leaders who are not only officials but also neighbors. In overlooked towns and cities, we must empower local solutions developed and implemented by the people they benefit. #SubCommTech

The @OversightBoard is right to uphold @Facebook's Trump deplatforming, and to require the company to publish criteria for restoring a suspended account. Read our full statement from @sarmorris: newamerica.org/oti/press-rele…

Super excited about this important new report out today from my @OTI colleagues
Open Tech Institute at New America@OTI
Why is the tech industry failing on equity? In a new report, @kjbagchi & Brittany Thomas say the problem is twofold: process & personnel. Read our road map for much-needed change in an industry that continues to produce biased & discriminatory products. newamerica.org/oti/reports/eq…

I routinely get asked on conference calls/presentations whether I mean $37,000 per year. It blows people's minds that if you are an adult without children you never quality. Plus a parent loses Medicaid coverage once a disabled child turns 18, leaving them in the gap.
Larry Levitt@larry_levitt
I think we sometimes get numb to these numbers. If you're a parent in a family of three in Texas and make more than $3,733 PER YEAR, you make too much to be eligible for Medicaid. If you're an adult without kids in Texas who isn't elderly or disabled, you're ineligible, period.

@rsingel Ugh, some real, personal feels about all of this. Sending healing thoughts and karma for a good litigator.
