๐น How many teleoperators does Waymo have in the Philippines? In other nations?
๐น How does Waymo ensure it has enough teleoperators to handle an emergency? (Big fail during the SF blackout last month)
๐น How are teleoperators vetted?
๐น What happens if they come to work drunk?
every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO

the problem with an untrained secret police squad that shoots people in their cars isnโt that theyโre untrained

13.01.2026 20:32 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0This is blatantly false from the MPD Chief.
Here is a joint ICE-MPD arrest from just 10 days ago in DC. There are no other federal agencies there โ just MPD helping ICE detain an immigrant delivery driver trying to scrape by.
The *whole point* of this is to do civil immigration enforcement.
An MPD officer and a federal DHS agent handcuff an immigrant delivery driver in front of a Chick-fil-A.
Another joint MPD-ICE arrest today in DC.
This is a food delivery driver working in subfreezing temperatures to deliver food to people. He deserves to be with his family tonight.
Instead, he will sit in an overcrowded detention center facing likely deportation.
A shameful use of DC tax dollars.
Workers are the backbone of DC, and they are powering our movement!
I'm honored to have the support of @atulocal689.bsky.social, @32bjseiu.bsky.social, @ufcw400.org, UNITE HERE Local 23, and UNITE HERE Local 25 โ labor unions representing 53,000+ workers.

.@atulocal689.bsky.social members move our region as bus and train operators, mechanics, station managers, and more.
Their labor makes it possible for people to go to work, get back home after a long day, or travel across the region for fun.
We are beyond proud to endorse Aparna Raj for Ward 1!
Aparna has stood with us on picket lines and at rallies, and knows personally what it means to build power for working people as a Union member herself.
We know that she will have our backs on Council and we are excited to have hers now.
