🧡 When I started calling out Apple in 2021, tons of ex-coworkers contacted me saying some version of: Apple was a huge d*ck, they sued Apple, the litigation was the worst thing in their entire life & they can't even talk about it. What I'm observing first hand the last few years, & can tell you...

Gjovik v. Apple Inc., 3:23-cv-04597 - CourtListener.com Docket for Gjovik v. Apple Inc., 3:23-cv-04597 β€” Brought to you by Free Law Project, a non-profit dedicated to creating high quality open legal information.

I just filed my Opposition to Apple's latest claim that I'm a criminal; demand to kick me off social media, and prayer that a court will declare me a bad person. I think it is probably the 17th time now since 2021.

May I please ask @merriam-webster.com to confirm that 'warfighting' is not a real word. I would also like to urge you not to add the word to the dictionary unless you have a special section for imaginary words.

In a further sign of the Putinisation of America under Donald, it seems the US military also dismissed the capabilities of the Ukrainian military.

With over 4 years of evidence in front of them, this seems more stupid than us doing it.

Apple just emailed me saying they want to ask the court to "seal" all of my objections about Apple's attempt to get an illegal gag order issued against me about my whistleblower disclosures & labor complaints, & say my complaints about what Apple's doing in court is top secret.

If Apple's going to gag me & jam me up about a specific set of complaints, then I'll just talk more about all of Apple's EH&S failures. They won't let me diversify my complaints - fine. Did I tell you guys about the FOIA docs showing Apple was under criminal investigation? bsky.app/profile/ashl...

Police killing a bus full of school children because a terrorist is holding them hostage will never be acceptable. However some governments believe it is ok to flatten whole cities full of people when the children on the bus go to same school where the terrorist grew up. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

How can Attorney General just change the ethics rules that govern a profession we all rely on of maintaining order?
What if the Treasury Secretary does away with dual entry accounting?

So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.

That's $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

Thousands of lives lost.

People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

I just want to make sure that everyone knows Trump's war of choice in Iran is costing us $900 million a day according to the latest figures

Not $900 a day, not $9,000 a day, not $90,000 a day, not $900,000 a day, not $9 million a day, not $90 million a day

$900 million a day

People don't realize that banks have laws that determine how much cash they need to have on hand. No investment fund or scheme has the same rules.

Hey folks, Apple jammed me up really bad again last month & I've been stuck dealing with all their latest retaliation for two weeks - tons of legal paperwork, barely sleeping or eating, behind on everything else... & I still owe $708 in taxes. If you can help, please do! Thanks!

We do not learn to reflect on the past to avoid repeating this behaviour. We refuse to learn from other people's misfortune. Nevermind our own. πŸ˜³πŸ€”
