Great first step, but still more we can do. We know MSFT can be a slow ship to turn, but I'm happy that employees are being listened to and change is starting. https://t.co/hUCpnxV65c

This is a really promising announcement from @Microsoft. Not only are they ceasing contributions to anyone who objected to certifying electors, but they'll be donating to organizations focused on voting rights, campaign finance reform, and transparency. https://t.co/rl1VjzIa7N

Baby steps in the right direction. IMO some of the changes are toothless or don't go far enough, but I don't see anything here that moves us truly backward. Let's take this minor victory while continuing to push for longer-term, more impactful changes. https://t.co/DCLkuQAfsE
