I see tens of thousands of tech workers being laid off because AI has come for their jobs. Those were good jobs. With the rise in AI we should all be fighting for UBI.

Cops & their ilk do infiltrate our organizing groups. This makes it hard to bond with people, and to be effective organizers. We keep each other, our comrades, at a distance, because we’re paranoid. That’s what the murderpigs have done to us.

Folks don’t even feel safe enough to make fun of cops. “No agitators”. Meanwhile cops bust up encampments illegally. We are afraid to speak our truth amongst each other, while pigs feel free to break the law with impunity. #ACAB

I dislike police with an intensity that verges upon hatred. This is because of how they’ve treated me, & others throughout my life. Then I read about the history of policing, and they are so much worse than I ever knew.

I despise them because they hold inequity in place, with workers footing the bill. They have strong unions, although that wasn’t always the case. For a long time, it was illegal for police, armed militias, to be unionized. Then they union bust the rest of us. On our dime. #ftp

The book explores some of the things you’re thinking about in your post. ❤️

Have you read “left hand of darkness” by Ursula Le Guin?

I’ve seen racism/sexism on Mastodon. I’ve seen white guys dogpile & correct Black women for speaking their truth here.

Morality police are everywhere. Sometimes the ignorance is a blind spot, sometimes it’s much deeper.

It’s not time for Americans to “embrace, small cars”. It’s time for Americans to have a strong, free, public transportation system.

My husband’s company offers a $6000 signing bonus when you refer someone they hire. It’s a scam. Only higher-ups get the bonus. The good jobs are nepotism hires. It’s not about hiring excellent people. It’s about hiring workers they can exploit and pay less to. This “bonus” also removes headhunters, another job, from the equation. In this way, the company shows “growth”, which is another way of saying “increased shareholder profits”. 🤑🤢🤮

That’s wage theft. Funny how cops protect the thieves, not employees.

@fu
are you Dutch? Are you taking me a literally? I’m comparing the choice between a democrat and a republican as the choice between two diseases, because both Democrats and Republicans are awful. Republicans are a Nazi death cult. Democrats are warmongers who care more about profits than People. As an American, these are our political choices.

@fu
People are BEGINNING to talk about the 2-party system here. Finally. Historically Democrats and Republicans both have fought hard to keep other parties away. Our sham elections for the next oligarch toady are a multi billion $ business.

The United States is a cautionary tale against Capitalism for the rest of the world.

@fu
The media is starting to put out a few articles questioning the two party system. That has never happened before. Democrats, just as much as Republicans, shut down efforts to bring in other partirs/voices. Both Democrats and Republicans are comfortable in the two party system, where they hold all the power.

Historically, Democrats attack progressive voices, who are part of their own party, far more than they attack Republicans. Democrats have also stopped progressive Democrats from unseating incumbent democrats, even when those Blue Dog Dems (centrist democrats with GOP agendas) block every good bill from passing in the house/senate.

Americans also call Republicans GOP, which stands for “grand old party.”

@NewsBot
First, we roll back child labor laws, then we want to bring manufacturing back to the states. Until women are paid the same as men and kids are not allowed into the workforce, this is not a feel good story.

@fu
Syphillis or gonorrhea is as good as it gets in our oligarchy.
