It was due to speed ups and a lack of safety.

Speed ups + blind spots = dead workers.

Fuck Bezos and all the billionaires. They profit off of shit like this. More of this will happen if we don’t fight back.

It's been 200 days since masked government goons abducted Rümeysa Öztürk for writing an op-ed they didn't like.

She's no longer behind bars, but they're still trying to deport her, and they still don't want the public to know why.

The U.S. government is hiding Öztürk records. Its rationale is insulting

If the government was really concerned about protecting privacy, it wouldn’t have abducted and detained Öztürk for writing an op-ed

I am writing this because it has swiftly become crystal clear to me that many people have no idea what is happening or how this works. Here is a thread for non-academics to put into context what just happened to Dr. Mark Bray, a fellow historian.

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro secretly offered the U.S. sweeping access to his nation’s oil, gold, and mineral wealth—proposing to cut ties with China, Iran, and Russia—to avoid military conflict with Washington. The Trump administration rejected the deal. - NYT

They didn’t deploy teargas or any other chemical agents, but some carried pepper ball launchers.

If you are employed & doing pretty fine right now, set aside some money from each paycheck to dedicate to mutual aid asks. Even just $20.

Shit is really bad, the social safety net is being shredded, & truly TRULY all we have is each other right now.

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
