@mathieu that makes me so happy to hear 😂 ✊

with the google walkouts under our belt, i think the day a software union can support an international lockout is nearer than ever. but the problem was the chief agitators had no union to fall back on, no org outside google that had their back, so google could harass them to wit's end until they stopped agitating. demands for ethical tech must accompany demands for humane labor conditions: without both you get neither.

but where do you start organizing? facebook? of course, you organize wherever you can. but the first fights you win are small ones. co-ops and dev shops, who support union efforts at mid-sized startups and esoteric infra firms, who support bigger fish until even folks at facebook know that someone's got their back when they say: no more!

imagine a day comes that facebook employees somewhere, not even necessarily the USA, get a majority vote on unionization and recognition from the local labor board. facebook refuses to bargain with the union, so in solidarity with the union, a mass walkout of tens of thousands of employees across the world accompanies coordinated downtime: a cadre of key individuals change necessary passwords, flip necessary switches, to turn facebook dot com into a smoldering 404 for 1 hour -- just to remind them who punches the keys for god's sake 😉 ✊

a crow perched outside my window today. i think that means our friendship leveled up 😲

the trick is the bizarre and cruel practices of border agents that intentionally drive people to try crossing however they can, such as by turning them away from designated entry points saying "there's no room" etc. even if the corpses don't come from the camps themselves, they come from the cruelty that animates the camps
