#TechWorkerWildcatStrike Demands 🧵:
1. Enforce the legally upheld US #TikTok ban to preserve the Constitutional checks & balances. Per Constitution, the President can’t override Congress or SCOTUS like that.

God I didn’t even think of that!!! #Sysadmins and #TechWorkers, #WildcatStrike #GlobalGeneralStrike until the ban is upheld. Your microblog jobs are redundant to these fascists if they control all 4. (Reshare don’t just heart react).
I realized that you’re right, #TechWorkers are gonna see huge layoffs unless the ban is enforced because #Tiktok, #X, #Threads, and #Instagram have redundant features. They’re all short form vid / microblogs. They’ll consolidate them and lay people off now that they control all 4.

Don’t just heart react, reshare. I thought you were the resistance? #GlobalGeneralStrike #WildcatStrike #Tiktok Who’s tired of kissing oligarch’s asses while they toy with our livelihoods and our free speech?
This was a digital Reichtag fire. PR stunt to normalize the incoming President overriding the Congress and SCOTUS, which breaks the checks and balances and affirms you are in a dictatorship now unless the Congress reacts🙃he has to enforce the ban. Fuck this, General Strike.

#GlobalGeneralStrike #FuckOligarchs #TikTok collaborated and pretended they were gonna be banned to make Trump out as a savior and to have President over rule Congress & SCOTUS, which is against the Constitution/Dictatorship. #FAFO

🧵Observation: Your societies have not been at war with fascists, communists, etc etc. Just with rich assholes. Some dude spouting politics from atop a mountain of money isn’t interested in your politics, just in keeping his wealth. Examples:

I am STILL laughing at how the new Presidential portrait was not only #GenerativeAI (you can tell by the lighting and nonsense backgrounds of picture frames inside frames?) but the AI clearly sourced it from his mug shot 😂 the standard div theft machine says that’s the most common image of him.

Tip: you can’t like in the dark purple one. Billionaires think they can, but those same billionaires implode themselves and their friends in submarines.
I think this is one of my favourite colourful climate chart type things, because it depicts two things at once:
- Things are going to get worse, no matter what
- The degree to which they get worse depends on decisions made today

I hear what you guys are saying about the Oscars, and how they're a celebration of life, and the show must go on, blah-blah-blah, so-on-and-so-forth. It all makes a degree of sense, but to me it still feels like Nero fiddling while Rome burns. Or in this case, wearing fancy clothes while LA burns.

Well at least they aren't using my email for training data, they claim! But they do confirm this is a somewhat widespread issue

We now know UnitedHealth—under Brian Thompson—illegally overcharged cancer patients for meds by more than 1000%.
What we don't know is how many cancer patients died or were financially ruined as a result?
What we demand to know is why that act isn't deemed corporate murder & where are the arrests?

Uh you’re definitely fooling yourself if you don’t think you’ll be getting screwed along with them.
I get it when people say "well they voted for this, I hope they get what they deserve. "
I get that sentiment, i really do... But there are millions of people who DIDN'T vote for this, whose lives will be ruined. That's why I can't throw my hands up and say oh well. I keep fighting for them.

Ok, can we all laugh at what #Meta thinks “masculine energy” is? Sure Zuck, nothing says alpha like getting publicly topped by an 80 year old senile fascist felon. He hadn’t even asked him to change anything yet, he self owned 😂 Imagine being so weak that you give a single fuck about Don’s desires?

When Biden got in, tons of ppl relaxed and ghosted civic activism. But *now* they suddenly care again since it’ll be them being harmed.
You were never supposed to bail on civic engagement.
And now everyone gets to be a passenger aboard the Billionares’ titanic submersible named “America”.

Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?
