I'm staying. Unless being in the US becomes presently dangerous to me or my family, I'm here. This is my country and I'm going to fight for it and I'm going to fight especially for the people (like my foreign-born, non-white wife, and like many friends who are black, Latino, or Muslim) who need someone to fight for them more than ever.

Fuck Thiel, fuck Y Combinator, fuck racism and sexism and fuck calling Clinton "the lesser of two evils" because people can't differentiate between a security violation [1] and a 40-year career of housing discrimination, fraud, misogyny, tax evasion, and brazen narcissism. And especially fuck the anti-intellectualism that has taken over not just corporate life and the software industry, but now political life wholesale.

[1] And as someone who's worked for the Feds, I am pissed as hell at Clinton for her email server. If the Republicans had put forward someone decent, I might have gone that way. Trump, on the other hand... just no.
