Very Soon, ICE Will Know Exactly Where You Are All the Time ICE is planning on buying a tool that will let it see hundreds of millions of phones’ location data.

Just because I like details, here's the article for anyone who wants more information:

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him Subramanyam “Subu” Vedam now faces deportation.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

we need to abolish this shit

Scary!!

WHOA. Trump will strip Temporary Protected Status from thousands of AFGHANS, at a time when the Taliban is fully in control of the country and carrying out total oppression.

If any country deservers TPS, it's obviously Afghanistan! We're going to send women back there to be treated as property?

I'm with Kelly here: deeply interested in leftism as a political project but have no interest whatsoever in leftism as a subculture. the stakes of leaving this behind are hopefully clearer by the day

finally got a tax refund from years ago in the mail yesterday, deposited it, and woke to a message from the bank saying it’s on hold because of “confidential information that it may not be paid”

Real Elon Musk tweet saying, "An airplane can be waterproof enough to serve briefly as a boat, so it can cross rivers, lakes & even seas that aren't too choppy"

Good news for anyone worried about flying

grooooannnn 😆

"In the 1980s, when United Auto Workers realized during contract negotiations that manufacturers were trying to provoke workers into striking — to permanently replace them with scabs — the union turned to work-to-rule, throwing production into chaos and winning a 36% wage bump over three years"

"Like any job action, there’s no guarantee. But work-to-rule has been deployed successfully across industries throughout the decades, especially when traditional strikes aren’t an option."

"Are you expected to show up 20 minutes early to do unpaid prep? Your mornings are now for coffee and contemplation. Have unfinished work you usually take home? Get ready for an evening of Netflix and chill...Start dotting your I’s and crossing your T’s."

Article continues: "Your contract may contain wording which says that you can be made to work for more than 35 hours per week. We would interpret such wording strictly, for example: Wording saying that you have to work on “operational requirements” – Is the task in question actually a requirement for the FCA? Or it is something that seniors are choosing to do but could lawfully choose not to do? Wording saying that the FCA can increase your hours when “necessary” – Is the task truly necessary at this moment, as opposed to merely desirable or convenient? Wording saying that 35 hours is your “normal” working time – If your “normal” working week is stated to be 35 hours, it follows that working longer than that is abnormal. It should therefore happen only for a minority of the time. If your line manager insists that a piece of work is genuinely “necessary”, a “requirement” etc, then ask them to give you a written direction to carry out the work and report it to us..."

did you know that, even without calling a strike, you and your fellow workers can simply decide to follow the law? could lead to delays and difficulties for the bosses, which would be unfortunate. but alas these are the rules

Working to Rule - Unite. The union for staff at the FCA The Unite branch at the FCA will shortly be taking industrial action. So far, the following strike days have been fixed: 4 May,...

useful info from labor movements:

"Working to rule means carrying out your contractual obligations to the letter...Most importantly, it means not working any longer than you are legally required to – which means 35 hours per week for most full-time people."

Hi, reporter who *actually* covers protests here: 50501 is not an op and people spreading panic like this is stupid.

It originated on Reddit (www.reddit.com/r/50501/) and you don’t need the backing of a “major org” to organize jack. It’s a call for people to mobilize, not riot. Chill out.

Elon Musk is hosting an X "Space" right now w/ Vivek Ramaswamy, and demonstrating a weaker grasp of our system of government than a freshman political science student.

my sincere apologies to my canadian friends, by the way. i personally think canada is great and i'm very sorry and embarrassed we are messing with y'all like this. just try to ignore us as best you can i guess :(

if your senator or reps have full voicemails I highly recommend faxing them

what kind of stock trades do you think your senator has lined up for tomorrow morning? is that what they're working on tonight instead of figuring out how to get those teenagers out of the servers at the treasury?

Mass protests in Buenos Aires, Argentina warning Trump and Musk ally President Javier Mile to know his place and stop being a fascist. Recently Mile went on a MAGA level rants about ‘sick wokeism’. #3E #ArgentinaProtests #MarchaAntifascista

Protestors reminded him “rights are not negotiable.”

First item on the rebellion agenda is freeing Luigi, right?

Partial censorship - when a word or a phrase is unsearchable which we’ve been seeing happen

Self censorship - for example all of the code words and fake searches we have to use on TikTok for a video to be pushed

Reading a book about propaganda and censorship and there are so many forms. I think people only think of “hard censorship”

Some deeply vicious, hateful, & unhelpful comments from the Blue MAGA crowd on this one

Mark Zuckerberg Is Throwing an Inauguration Party for Trump The Meta chief is teaming up with Republican megadonors including Miriam Adelson to co-host a pre-Inaugural Ball reception on Monday night—“Address provided upon RSVP."
