Hiro is joining OpenAI! For 13 years, I’ve been on a mission to make personal finance suck less. At Digit, I helped millions of Americans save over $9 billion. At Hiro, we built an AI personal CFO and helped clients plan for and manage over $1 billion in assets. I’m excited to continue that mission at @OpenAI. I'm grateful to our team, our investors, and especially the customers who trusted us. Building Hiro has been a privilege.

Even wars have rules. The Geneva Conventions protect civilians in conflict and help ensure assistance reaches those in need, without discrimination. ohchr.org/en/instruments…

The candidates that register as Independent are typically not that impressive and their platforms don’t offer much. Obama’s and Biden policies were quite impressive if you are engaged in higher learning and the high growth business ecosystem. I worked on most of them at Brookings. This current admin’s policies are mostly trash. First hand knowledge.

Black-Americans need to register as Independents so we can become a true swing voting bloc and force both parties to compete for our vote with real economic and education outcomes. We need to stop being loyal to political parties that take our support for granted while failing to seriously acknowledge us or deliver meaningful results.

He personally didn’t increase it publicly. His very presence awakened a quiet self hatred and insecurity in a lot of Americans who felt mediocre. How could this n word ascend to the highest office in the land; and I am still in a trailer. Documented. Sad. Remember, Black people did not come up with the term Black; we just embraced it to build self esteem and confidence in the face of perpetual hate against our very existence.

@rodneysampson @EricLDaugh @rodneysampson - You misunderstood me he didn't end it, he brought it back, with a vengeance!

🚨 WOW! Artemis II pilot Victor Glover gives the PERFECT response to a leftist reporter asking about skin color "I hope we push that one day...it's about human history, humanity, NOT 'black history,' not 'women's history,' but that it becomes human history!" RIGHT ON! Victories for Americans and victory for humanity 🇺🇸🚀

I miss you, Daddy. Remembering you today on the 58th anniversary of your assassination. #MLK

@TracyMo56084236 @EricLDaugh You do not know how racism works if you think one Black man getting elected ends it. Half of the country didn’t vote for him. Data shows racism went up since him. 45/7 is a response to 44.

@rodneysampson @EricLDaugh @rodneysampson - "OBAMA"

@TracyMo56084236 @EricLDaugh When exactly was racism a thing of the past and when did democrats bring it back?

@rodneysampson @EricLDaugh The point is racism was in the past until the democrat party decided it was a useful tool to win elections...

@rwsscott @RICCHLEEL @sunnyright I do it everyday living my best life and then I run into some ignorant racist person who makes my Blackness an issue. So go lecture them , not me.

@RICCHLEEL @rodneysampson @sunnyright His blackness has nothing to do with his personal accomplishments. The belief it does diminishes a person to their race. Who am I to say don't do that? Any individual - with agency and autonomy, who doesn't reduce myself to external factors. Try it sometime. Very liberating.

Victor Glover (pilot of Artemis II) was already a spacecraft pilot for SpaceX Crew-1. He is a naval captain who has had his naval aviator wings for 25 years. He has three (3) masters degrees, including in flight test engineering and systems engineering. He's been a test pilot since 2007. He has thousands of flight hours.

@JethroBoateng @EricLDaugh I know some poor ones. Matter of fact, my foundation has given hundreds of them scholarships over the last ten years. Some are wealthy and successful, most aren’t. Just like Us. Stop dividing the Diaspora.

@rodneysampson @EricLDaugh Wrong data interpretation, which does not account for the fact that Black Americans (14.2%) are more numerous than Nigerian immigrants (0.15%). Only metric that matters is all Nigerian immigrants are successful while only a small fraction of Black Americans are.

@JethroBoateng @EricLDaugh Native Black Americans have a buying power of $1.6 trillion whereas Nigerian immigrants have a buying power of $10.2 billion. They have a long way to go!

@rodneysampson @EricLDaugh Nigerians in the United States have higher purchasing power and higher level educations than Black Americans who remain at the bottom of the ladder, crying and complaining. Weak and Pathetic

@JethroBoateng @EricLDaugh No they haven’t. The data didn’t support this. Furthermore, white people have been obsessed for centuries. I pray you start loving yourself so you can leave Us alone.

@rodneysampson @EricLDaugh Keep whining and complaining. Black African immigrants in the United States have already surpassed all of you

@JethroBoateng @EricLDaugh Yet they still trying to get to the U.S. for you, your demise will be your human insecurity and self hatred. Also, stay out of our country’s business. Pray for self worth.

@rodneysampson @EricLDaugh Black Americans and their obssession with skin colour, and they wonder why Black Africans look down on them. Perpetually complaining and whining makes you look pathetic and weak

Trust, we know he is more than qualified. We’re excited that he’s Black because it signals to young Black children and beyond that this is possible. For centuries, we were told we would amount to nothing and were blocked from opportunities even when qualified. That’s why we do it. A basic understanding of American History would reveal. Peace.

I say this because both sides, for different reasons, have a nasty tendency to reduce people to their skin color being the headline. "Oh, he's a black man? Must be because they prioritize diversity." or "HE'S A BLACK MAN, THIS IS HISTORIC, HE'S BLACK" Different motivations, same reduction of the man to a one-dimensional representation of something wrong or right. In reality, he's an insanely qualified expert with a resume you'd pick out if you had no idea what he looks like. He's a certified badass who happens to be black. I understand why that will (hopefully!) inspire younger black people, some young man who sees himself in Glover. That's fine. But everyone needs to be careful not to take that too far and reduce him to something less than he is. That would be unjust.

Statement of the Chairperson of the AU Commission on the Adoption of @UN General Assembly Resolution A/80/L.48 declaring the trafficking of enslaved Africans and racialized chattel enslavement of Africans as the gravest crime against humanity. The Chairperson of the African Union Commission warmly welcomes the adoption by the United Nations General Assembly of resolution A/80/L.48, led by the Republic of #Ghana, declaring the trafficking of enslaved Africans and racialized chattel enslavement of Africans as the gravest crime against humanity. The AUC Chairperson @ymahmoudali commends H.E. the President of the Republic of Ghana for this important leadership, which reflects Africa’s longstanding and principled call for the full recognition of the slave trade and its enduring consequences. “This historic decision marks an important step toward truth, justice, and healing, and reinforces the urgent need to address the enduring legacy of slavery,” the Chairperson stated. The AUC Chairperson reiterated the African Union’s call for comprehensive acknowledgment of the historical and contemporary impacts of slavery, including the pursuit of reparative justice, in line with #Agenda2063 and relevant Assembly decisions. The African Union remains committed to working with the United Nations, Member States, and partners to advance historical justice and ensure that such crimes are neither forgotten nor repeated.

I enjoyed every moment of two services, included the Omega Service. Rev was a fraternity brother. We sang, cried, laughed and lifted our hands to God frequently. Obama and Kamala received standing ovations. Her words were consoling to a community looking for hope and direction whether they can deliver it or not. Biden, Clinton and the Colombian president were a little long; but overall it was OK. The program is a keepsake.

@rodneysampson @RealTimBlack Share your experience at the funeral.

Jesse Jackson Sr. was independent – challenged BOTH parties. Welcomed all. But at his homegoing? They showed up to help THEIR party. #JesseJackson #EverybodySomebody
