Stop Garry Tan to Stop Asian Hate f/ Emily Mills

from Sad Francisco · host Toshio Meronek, Caitlin Wood, Emily Mills

The self-appointed voice of techbros and "effective accelerationism," Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan is a prime example of a common archetype in Bay Area tech - a libertarian who wants socialism, but only for corporations. Emily Mills (@sf_mills on Twitter/X) does the undervalued job of keeping track of some of the richest people in the Bay, and which politicians and campaigns they're spending their money on, including Garry.
