Workers on the move; unions for all. She/her. Stop caging people. Fund human needs.
Gigantic companies don't do things because they're "woke." They do things because they think it will help them increase their profits. That's it.

@kjhealy My 1st thought, when the news broke & ppl were expressing awe at the quality of reporting by a student journo, was to wonder what gave him the confidence to pursue the story, which was bound to bring down on him the wrath of powerful people.

@katherinehawkins And he got 2 committee assignments! I have a quiet bet with myself (a Thai dinner) that he'll end up being connected to the Florida man who's been named by the Brazilian govt as a major organizer of the recent coup effort. As a recipient of campaign funds, or otherwise.
