Our #NetNeutrality bill (#SB822) - the strongest in the nation - is on its way to Gov. Brown! The Senate just gave final sign-off to the bill. We‘ll make the case to the Governor about why he should sign this bill & ensure that California protects full access to the internet. – at Sacramento, CA

Growing business support for our #NetNeutrality bill, #SB822, as shown by this letter from a list of companies. Net neutrality protects consumers *and* ensures fair competition & an open playing field for businesses. Small companies can be severely harmed without net neutrality.

I absolutely LOVE this approach. Men on #manels: just do this. You have the power. Share it. nitter.gq/arlanwashere/status/97…
I was recently asked to judge a pitch competition. Once I got there, I realized I was the only Black woman judging. So I found another Black woman nearby who invests and insisted that she be added to the lineup. It may not be easy, but it IS simple: Share your privilege.

Travel advisory: Germans in Canada should exercise a high degree of empathy. Be nice, don’t gloat, give hugs, buy rounds of hot chocolate. Just imagine how you would feel if Canada beat us in soccer 😱 🇩🇪 ❤️ 🇨🇦 #CANGER @TeamD @CanadaFP @GermanyInCanada @KanadaBotschaft
