Today is my last day as a software engineer for
@TheDemocrats
. For the past 3 yrs, I have been the lead engineer on the DNC's software that helps protect the right to vote. Here's why this work is so important to me, and why I dedicated the last 3 years of my life to it. 🧵

When folks use the terms "woke" and "wokeness" in a non-ironic way, it's hard to take seriously claims that they are moderates. Those are words you hear on Tucker Carlson and Newsmax with the purpose of furthering an agenda.

You have somehow bought into the idea that government debt is anything like private debt. Debt created by the issuer of the currency that denominates the debt is a fundamentally different thing than private debt. This misunderstanding of public debt has caused a lot of harm.

But as it has been for all of our history, the right to vote is under attack by those who seek to win elections not on the strength of their ideas, but by instead erecting barriers to vote under the pretext of combating in-person voter fraud (which is extremely rare).

The right to vote was expanded over American history by heroes who dedicated their lives to secure it. The guarantees of the right to vote regardless of race or sex were hard-won moments in our history.
The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was one of America's proudest moments.

Treating government finances like household finances is a common misunderstanding. The issuer of a currency doesn’t need revenue to spend money. Twitter is a poor medium for an explanation of this so here’s a thought experiment: how did the first dollars get into circulation?

Chevron is overruled. This is a breathtaking reallocation of power from the executive branch to the judicial branch.
Is anyone else old enough to remember when the GOP cared about “judicial restraint”? Now that they control the judiciary, that’s no longer convenient for them.
