“People who are eager for power… leverage the idea of racism, anti-immigrant sentiment, sexism to consolidate power.”
John Harwood and Heather Cox Richardson compare the rise of the KKK in the 1920s to our current day, as they explain the economic push behind racism.

Social media gave everyone a printing press, then we discovered that most people use printing presses the same way they use bathroom stalls: to write inflammatory things they'd never say to someone's face...

Unfortunately, I don’t think this man will ever just shut up. At this point it’s time to put Ruby and Rails behind us. He’s drunk on power, a fascist who gets a dopamine kick from dehumanizing people who disagree with him. He’s part of the global problem in every sense.

If the Ruby community doesn’t force Ruby Central to fix this, the community of thousands of open source gem maintainers should strike in solidarity.

I used to think DHH was just an egotistical contrarian, not racist. But posting straight-up Islamophobia? So much for ‘no politics at work’ — open source leaders should stick to code, not spew political garbage.

The Ruby community has a DHH problem
The Ruby community can no longer afford to stand silent in the face of DHH and his toxic ideas.

Reality will always be Dune, never StarTrek!
Six decades later, Star Trek may still be the only franchise based on the ideas that diversity is strength, justice is the measure of civilization, bounty is to be shared, peace is worth the price, and all these things can be achieved.
We need more shows that look ahead and find goodness.
