As political activism intensifies at Google, some of the company’s most visible activists are heading out the door. Two key walkout organizers are out now. And admin of republicans@google internal listserv was recently fired. https://t.co/NE6OWycRrM

Today is @mer__edith's final day at Google. Watching her experience as a whistleblower at Google and a victim of retaliation cannot signal good things for how AI institutions will react to negative criticism. #NotOkGoogle

I hope everyone in tech is paying attention to this story. Women at Google asked the company to fix a widespread culture of misogyny and harassment and the company decided to push them out instead. https://t.co/P5nBWmCALP

Yesterday was my last day at Google. It's been a long, wild road, and I am thrilled to be officially stepping into my role as Co-director of @AINowInstitute full time at NYU. Here's what I wrote to my friends and colleagues who remain at Google https://t.co/RADFlWkay9

it's a shame that @google has lost @mer__edith; her work in tech equity, tech worker rights, and AI are so important, now more than ever. i'm excited to see what she will do full time with @AINowInstitute but @google, you pushed out one of the best ones. https://t.co/AflOtPbRSb
