    Replying to @KDimitratos @rklau and @expensify
    Before sending it we had a long discussion, designed to be as inclusive and respectful as possible. In particular, we made a #factcheck Slack room where anyone can contest a factual claim and argue for/against it, then a group of top employees votes on our official opinion.

    I am astonished how good @TheOrville is. It feels like it's going to be a silly Star Trek knockoff, but honestly it's better. Every episode in season 3 has left me thinking about it days later, unlike nearly any other show. Everyone I tell is blown away. Can't wait for season 4!

    I see why Trump cannot admit what everyone knows: our elections are safe and fair. He's tricking his followers into believing he's reducing fraud (which is small, rare, and has no effect), while suppressing votes and undermining democracy. #VoteBiden #VoteDemocracy

    Premature declaration of victory? Check. Lawsuits against Pennsylvania to stop counting mail-in ballots? Check. Baseless claims designed to undermine confidence in the vote? Check, check, and triple-check. Trump is doing everything he was feared to do, and it's not over.

    Hi there, I understand that perspective. I just disagree with it. I would encourage you to engage with your employees, align your values, and then link arms to take strong stances based on those values. It's not easy, as you can see. But this world isn't going to fix itself.

    If Trump loses and refuses to leave office, this could get dicey. We need it to be a landslide in one direction or another. Vote for Biden today to ensure a peaceful transition! #votefotdemocracy

    "Expensify depends on a functioning society and economy; not many expense reports get filed during a civil war." ~ @expensify Founder & CEO @dbarrett . One of the simplest, yet compelling, arguments I've read for why a private sector company SHOULD get involved in politics.
