I. TOLD. YOU. You’re just redundant labor to them now. Join #TechWorkerWildcatStrike #GlobalSwitchDay www.cnbc.com/2025/01/14/m...

#TechWorkerWildcatStrike Demands 🧵: 1. Enforce the legally upheld US #TikTok ban to preserve the Constitutional checks & balances. Per Constitution, the President can’t override Congress or SCOTUS like that. 2. Congress file legal action if the President ignores the ban you passed …

God I didn’t even think of that!!! #Sysadmins and #TechWorkers, #WildcatStrike #GlobalGeneralStrike until the ban is upheld. Your microblog jobs are redundant to these fascists if they control all 4. (Reshare don’t just heart react).

Don’t just heart react, reshare. I thought you were the resistance? #GlobalGeneralStrike #WildcatStrike #Tiktok Who’s tired of kissing oligarch’s asses while they toy with our livelihoods and our free speech?

#GlobalGeneralStrike #FuckOligarchs #TikTok collaborated and pretended they were gonna be banned to make Trump out as a savior and to have President over rule Congress & SCOTUS, which is against the Constitution/Dictatorship. #FAFO

This was a digital Reichtag fire. PR stunt to normalize the incoming President overriding the Congress and SCOTUS, which breaks the checks and balances and affirms you are in a dictatorship now unless the Congress reacts🙃he has to enforce the ban. Fuck this, General Strike.

🧵Observation: Your societies have not been at war with fascists, communists, etc etc. Just with rich assholes. Some dude spouting politics from atop a mountain of money isn’t interested in your politics, just in keeping his wealth. Examples:

I am STILL laughing at how the new Presidential portrait was not only #GenerativeAI (you can tell by the lighting and nonsense backgrounds of picture frames inside frames?) but the AI clearly sourced it from his mug shot 😂 the standard div theft machine says that’s the most common image of him.

Matt Gawtz: “Lol wut are all these zoomers gonna do on Sunday when TikTok shuts down?” Dunno but you better hope it’s not “storm the capital” since you won’t regulate firearms from their schools? 😬

Corporate social when ppl post about class struggle: *block list for extremism* Also Corporate social: “Golly how do we protect the free speech of those we may disagree with such as nazism and mediocre white dudes making death threats?”

Tech bros are always like, “what if this thing that already exists, but much worse, and instead it made *us* money?”

Tip: you can’t like in the dark purple one. Billionaires think they can, but those same billionaires implode themselves and their friends in submarines.

I hear what you guys are saying about the Oscars, and how they're a celebration of life, and the show must go on, blah-blah-blah, so-on-and-so-forth. It all makes a degree of sense, but to me it still feels like Nero fiddling while Rome burns. Or in this case, wearing fancy clothes while LA burns.
