    Terminated worker here. Listen when employers tell you exactly who they are McCarthyism is alive and well. Look how terrified they are of worker power 🔥 Solidarity always ✊ we'll keep us safe when we fight together

    do not be swayed by karens and their crocodile imperial feminism against rape. it plays right into long tradition of yt women weaponizing femininity/motherhood to discipline/punish men of color Emmett Till, Vincent Chen, Rassenschande -- all in the name of white sexuality

    CS student to research pipeline is how tech normalizes and cements its military ties So important for critical tech researchers/teachers to denaturalize this in their classrooms: go beyond "AI and bias" to examine the material reality of wielding compute and supply chain for $

    With fellow retaliated googlers, proud to reaffirm why we decided to take action for @NoTechApartheid "AI is today’s WMD, and Google is a willing war profiteer" We believe that workers have a pivotal role to play in disrupting tech's complicity ✊
