"At an Amazon fulfillment center in Spain, we used a flurry of brief walkouts late last year to force the company to improve wages and time off.

We struck for three days in November and in December in a series of “flexible strikes,” timed to hit production with intermittent walkouts during the holiday “peak” season. On December 22, the union committee announced a settlement, negotiated through government mediators.

The facility, RMU1 in the city of Murcia, employed 2,000 workers at the time, and our union the General Confederation of Labor (CGT) was one of four unions that represented them. [European countries don’t have the same “exclusive representation” system as the U.S., so multiple unions can have a presence at the same worksite. –Editors]

About 75 percent of the workforce, made up of workers from Spain and immigrants from Venezuela, Ecuador, Colombia, and Morocco, participated in the strike, reaching beyond the ranks of the CGT to include other union members.

Our experience shows what’s possible, even at a multinational corporation designed to neutralize organizing. Building from below, workers can organize a well-planned strike—over the objections of more conservative unions—draw on their knowledge of the production process, hit the company where it hurts the most, and wrest real gains.

Here’s how we got Amazon to negotiate with us when it didn’t want to."

in reply to Miguel Afonso Caetano

I think this form of striking is pretty effective. And I'm not sure if it's strictly legal in the US (although "a bunch of people just happening to be out sick on the same day" does happen, and works).
If you hold a strike vote, and just refuse to work til things are settled, you're liable to be replaced by scabs, and people need to work.
Just being a collective pain in the ass is something you can keep up indefinitely.

The war on Iran is forcing Gulf states to reconsider regional strategy as the U.S. and Israel lead the region into uncertainty mondoweiss.net/2026/03/the-war…

FB - TechTimes - March 6
Saudi Arabian authorities have reportedly apprehended two #Mossad agents who were allegedly attempting to plant explosives intended to be blamed on Iranian forces. One of the detained individuals is reported to be an Indian national, adding a complex layer of international intrigue to the arrest.

This development follows #Iran’s recent expression of gratitude to #Saudi-Arabia for refusing to let coalition forces use its territory for the war. The arrests come amidst a broader strategy of "calculated management" from Tehran, which has maintained a relentless series of missile waves despite President Trump’s claim that Iranian air defenses are "gone".

The regional conflict continues to escalate with a direct missile strike on the largest #US military base in #Kuwait and the sinking of a U.S. oil tanker in the Gulf. Simultaneously, the diplomatic landscape is shifting as China prepares to send a special envoy to mediate the crisis, while European allies like Denmark join France and Italy in condemning violations of Iranian sovereignty.

Energy security remains in a state of total collapse as Qatar’s state of emergency continues and commercial tankers refuse military escorts through the Strait of #Hormuz. The reports of " #false-flag" operations in Saudi Arabia further complicate an already volatile situation where Russia is preparing to seize Iranian nuclear sites and Kim Jong Un has threatened immediate intervention.

🚨Depuis que la guerre avec l'Iran a commencé, le gouvernement israélien a fermé les points de passage de Gaza.

Ces points de passage sont les principales routes pour l'entrée de l'aide humanitaire et le seul moyen pour les Palestiniens gravement malades de quitter Gaza pour se faire soigner.

Gaza n'a pas assez de nourriture.

N'arrêtez pas de parler de Gaza.

Les groupes humanitaires avertissent désormais que les conséquences de cette situation ont été immédiates et graves.

World Central Kitchen (bsky.app/profile/wck.org) a déclaré qu'elle serait à court de fournitures d'ici une semaine si les points de passage frontaliers restaient fermés.

Même avant la dernière fermeture, les points de passage fonctionnaient déjà à une capacité extrêmement limitée, les agences humanitaires avertissant que la quantité de nourriture entrant dans Gaza était bien inférieure à ce dont les gens ont besoin pour survivre.

Nous refusons d'accepter un monde où cela est normal. Personne ne devrait être confronté à la souffrance et à la faim à cause d'un blocus politique. Le blocus doit être levé et Gaza doit être inondée de nourriture immédiatement.

# 🇬🇧 En anglais

🚨Since the war with Iran started, the Israeli government has closed Gaza’s crossings.

These crossings are the main routes for humanitarian aid to enter and the only way critically ill Palestinians can leave Gaza for treatment.

Gaza doesn’t have enough food.

Don’t stop talking about Gaza.

Humanitarian groups are now warning that the consequences of this were immediate and severe.

World Central Kitchen (bsky.app/profile/wck.org) said it will run out of supplies within a week if border crossings stay closed.

Even before the latest closure, the crossings were already operating at extremely limited capacity, with aid agencies warning that the amount of food entering Gaza was far below what people need to survive.

We refuse to accept a world where this is normal. No one should face suffering and hunger because of a political blockade. The blockade must be lifted and Gaza must be flooded with food immediately.

The Anglos and the Sunnis and a "special relationship". They just love the more extreme religious ones. They may think they utilize them, but it just smells. Nothing changes. Iran has a horrible murderous regime, as have many of the others. But for some reason they are protected. Funny how the US establishment just love these "kings" and "princes". Indirect rule, I guess.

En 1996, Abbas Araghchi, actuel ministre des Affaires étrangères iranien, a obtenu son doctorat à l'Université du Kent. Sa thèse, dirigée par le chercheur marxiste David McLellan, portait sur « L'évolution du concept de participation politique dans la pensée politique islamique du XXe siècle ». Elle s'articule autour de trois thèmes principaux, chacun s'opposant à l'idée d'un antagonisme entre les idéaux islamiques et occidentaux.

What #Gaza already showed is now even clearer, for all, all to see: European leaders like Starmer, Merz, Macron have no moral integrity, backbone or principles, no interest in international law or human rights whatsoever. They aligned behind the US and Israel who are openly declaring they want to kill as many Iranians as possible, Dahiya doctrine and all. It is beyond contempt. What a world. #Iran

Thanks to the FEC and OpenSecrets we're able to find who's lobbying and funding the age verification laws.

Interestingly enough it turns out the same entities are the largest funders of the UK Online Safety Act, California's Age-Appropriate Design Code, Digital Age Assurance Act and New York's SAFE for Kids Act. so here it is:

Oak Foundation funds:
- 5Rights Foundation (they run the Kids Code Coalition and are UK based)
- Fairplay
- Common Sense Media

Oak Foundation is funded solely by Alan M. Parker the British billionaire who co-founded Duty Free Shoppers.

Common Sense Media (one of Oak's funded orgs) is also independently funded by:
- Bezos Family Foundation
- Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI)
- Gates Foundation
- Dell Foundation
- Craig Newmark Philanthropies
- Hewlett Foundation
- Tom Steyer / Kat Taylor

Combined, the funding flowing into this advocacy ecosystem exceeds $100M/year.

Now you know.

Some of you First (or Second?) Wave Great Migration kids from 2022ish might remember this but a few months after I started my mastodon account, I posted something snarky about Mel Gibson being a nazi and how everybody could go to every streaming service and thumbs-down every movie he's ever been in and an ostensible "liberal" guy - like according to most of his posts - got mad, like apoplectic, at me for that. Like YOU'VE CROSSED A LINE shit.
in reply to Grimm

There's basically a don't-ask/don't-tell thing re Hollywood fascists, like no one will ever say actual true shit about Mel Gibson as long as there is some vague potential you'll work with him again, but I wonder if Catherine McCormack or Maria Bello just shudder and spit every time they remember making out with an actual fucking nazi.

The dozy bourgeois artifice that ANY of this shit is just "political differences" and that we can differ and still be amicable/civil/friends stops right at that line where masked paramilitaries gun people down in the streets with absolute impunity amid disappearing people to concentration camps. Which they fucking did and are doing

Like we didn't disagree on how best to fund Social Security, you fluffy dipshits. We disagreed with Actual Mel Gibson on who gets to be a person with rights under law and who doesn't and dies because of Actual Mel Gibson's politics.

in reply to Grimm

Remember, everyone, Mel Gibson drunkenly yelling racial epithets at a cop insinuating that A) that cop is Jewish and B) everything that ever went wrong in Western civilization is because of that cop's forbears - if that cop is Jewish - and C) he, Mel Gibson, would devote his time and fortune to ruining that cop's life because the cop that arrested Mel Gibson for being drunk as fuck and operating a motor vehicle and being a blathering neo-nazi cunt - all this is YOUR fault if you think that is thing by which to judge Mel Gibson.
in reply to Grimm

It'll be the same with every last blinkered neo-nazi deadender demanding some sense of academic respect in the next 15-20 years after working materially to destroy the republic and establish the Fourth Reich. "Haha yeah I was in that phase where I considered millions of people burnable and/or collateral damage for my dumb insane Jesus-y master-race-ish notions of science. Which I still believe in or, conditionally, sorry MY BAD."

It's a pretty important thing not to let them, or respect them, and to make sure the governmental help they worked their entire shit lives to destroy never makes it to them when they need it.

Like, per the latter, in a bigger picture sense, it should, I'm just saying some of us conspire as citizens to fuck up their application paperwork such as we're able and make them experience a shitty enough existence to make them embrace leaving society.

There’s one very simple thing I learned from Chomsky and that will change your worldview forever. It is really simple.

Each time you read something in a media, simply add the following sentence before everything: "Someone want me to believe that…"

It completely modified my perception. It calmed my anger against lies. It allowed me to read something with no judgement other than "Someone want me to believe that".

Next, you will start questioning who is that "someone". But one step at a time…

I started wondering if my TV remote control was smart enough to have an operating system, then thought:

What happens when using remote display software to control multiple computers running different operating systems from a single monitor.

Will you have to verify your age on the local computer, then again on each remote one?

What happens if you have a multi-boot PC? Separate age verification for each OS?

So many questions, so much deep appreciation for the morons who have completely thought through every single ramification of this wonderful new idea; 🤮
