So an alliance of 20+ tow truck operators have come together in #LosAngeles. They’re having people follow ICE vehicles around, actively reporting their locations.

As soon as ICE parks their car ANYWHERE, usually improperly… the tow trucks quickly swoop in, tag the ICE vehicle for illegal parking, and tow their cars away as quickly as possible. LAPD is letting it happen, unchallenged.

They’re estimating over 30+ ICE vehicles being towed in the last week alone.

I love LA.
I really do.

Jeff Bezos threats to buy Conde Nast should absolutely be taken seriously.

It would give him control over a number of media outlets that are strong voices in opposition of fascism (like Wired and Teen Vogue)

Under the oligarchs control they would be forced to become right wing propaganda.

Now more than ever we must support independent journalists… many of whom are speaking truth to power despite the personal risk.

If you can boycott Amazon, please do it. Send a strong message with your wallet that you don’t support fascism or the billionaire class.

If you can’t boycott, please don’t feel guilty. Many disabled people and those in poverty may be reliant on Amazon for supplies they can’t get elsewhere.

Trust that your community is boycotting on your behalf.

We’ve got you, and you need to take care of yourself in order to survive.

No guilt. We all resist in whatever way we can.

Please don't buy from Amazon. Bezos is apparently considering buying up magazines like Wired and Teen Vogue that have been critical of Trump. He will, as he's done with the Washington Post, shut down critical voices. This is exactly what happened in Orbán's Hungary.

Frankly, it's too late to stop this. He has the money. If you've shopped there, you've helped him do this. But at least you can STOP VOTING FOR FASCISM with your wallet.

Well my employer has decided to partner with Palantir, which means it's time for me to find a new job. I was a lot more willing to make 40% less than market rate when I knew my employer wasn't funding concentration camps because they want AI coding tools.

Anyway of you need a UX designer/researcher who knows his way around government regulations, healthcare, enterprise software I'm looking!

Somehow a world worse than the crime beyond denunciation of Steinbeck’s Grapes Of Wrath, vast fields of ripe food left to rot on the vine not because a profit cannot be taken from an orange, but because the person who would have harvested it cannot be treated as a person.

California farm workers will strike. That means we all participate.

Everybody's been saying that the only warning system left for #Texas is Ted Cruz fleeing the state, so there needs to be a new system based on that.

Here it is!
