End of an era. As a former Tweep, I always had a sense of pride looking up at the Twitter sign as I walked into the building everyday. The co. wasn't perfect & faced its share of troubles, but I'm proud to have contributed to its mission of democratizing voices around the globe.
JUST IN - Welcome to #TwitterX: Twitter sign being removed from San Francisco HQ

I can’t believe they assigned Trump such a shitty Public Defender.

If Redditors rallying GameStop is unacceptable market manipulation, what would you call it when greedy Wall Street bankers gambled away our entire economy in 2008 and faced no consequences?

Proud to have been a part of Lyft task force for this EV announcement. And more excited about Lyft taking a bold position in partnership with the Environmental Defense Fund to help lead the way to a more sustainable future. #sustainability #Lyft #EVs forbes.com/sites/edfenergyex…
As millions of people across the country take to the streets and raise their voices in response to the killing of George Floyd and the ongoing problem of unequal justice, I’ve heard many ask how we can sustain momentum to bring about real change.

Fact check: there is someone ultimately accountable for our actions as a company, and that’s me. Please leave our employees out of this. We’ll continue to point out incorrect or disputed information about elections globally. And we will admit to and own any mistakes we make. – at California, USA

When people ask me if New Yorkers are "nice" or "kind." Me: Probably not in the way you think. But NYers will always be there for people in need, NYers always show up if you need help. Just don't walk slowly ahead of us. Here's an example. #ilovenewyork
KINDNESS OF STRANGERS: When a New York City subway rider’s suitcase got stuck between a car and the platform, several people helped push the car to get it out, cheering and clapping when they did 👏

Gary Sanchez already with the quote of the spring regarding Jose Altuve not wanting his jersey ripped off after the ALCS HR in Game 6: "I can tell you if I hit a homer and I get my team to the World Series, they can rip off my pants. They can rip everything off."
