Why I quit Dell over Gaza

A few months ago, I resigned from my job as a senior support technician at Dell Technologies because I refused to continue selling my labor to a corporation complicit in Israel’s genocide of Palestinians.
Now that I’ve settled into my new life, I want to tell my story.
When I saw employees rising up in a worker intifada against other tech companies involved in Israel’s crimes, I felt I had to act too.
“After weapons manufacturers, technology is arguably the second most complicit sector in Israel’s ongoing genocide,” according to the Palestinian-led BDS – boycott, divestment and sanctions – movement.

Dell has long been instrumental to Israeli apartheid. But as Omar Zahzah reported for The Electronic Intifada last year, the company’s complicity goes even further than previously known – particularly by supplying technology for Israel’s artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted genocide in Gaza.
I am blind and that has made it hard to find employment, so I was grateful when Dell hired me four years ago. I enjoyed my work supporting customers around the world.
But I was politically uninformed, especially about Palestine.
That changed after 7 October 2023, when the Al-Aqsa Flood operation shattered my illusions. As the horrifying genocide unfolded, I felt compelled to understand what was happening and why.
I began listening and reading. The pervasive hatred of Palestinians and of anti-Zionism that I encountered only deepened my curiosity and strengthened my resolve to learn the truth.

I am haunted by Hind Rajab’s final phone call. The gunfire audible through the line as the little girl begs for rescue tears my heart.
Audio from the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation sites sounded like hell: screaming, bullets and panic. These were never aid sites but militarized death traps.
Israel reportedly called its population control protocol at these sites “Operation Salted Fish,” after a children’s game.
Reality has collapsed into grotesque parody. What the fictional dystopic show Squid Game warned about capitalism has become a real-life policy in Gaza: Human suffering is staged and consumed by an Israeli public – and their supporters around the world – who justify and revel in it.
Now, the United States is planning even more dystopic techniques of genocide under the umbrella of its Orwellian-sounding “Board of Peace.” Technology and biometric control are sure to be central to these schemes.
Timeea Mohamed Ahmed is a Sudanese filmmaker whose film 'Khartoum' documents the survival and quest for freedom of the Sudanese people through five Khartoum residents, who were compelled to flee Sudan for other countries due to the violence that began in 2023.
Filming actually began in 2022, documenting the lives and dreams of five very different citizens in Khartoum. Then in April 2023, the Sudan civil war broke out and since then over ten million people have been displaced, including the filmmakers and the film's main characters.

I’d like to see more reporting like this. One can and should go deep here, but just working out the basic facts like this goes a long way:
- It’s bad information
- Here’s who’s spreading it

So, in 2017 I bought a little rooster bell for my mom (she's a rooster) and then in 2018 a little dog, in 2019 a tiny boar, and then
In 2020
I couldn't find a rat.
No rat!
I thought maybe it would be ok to not have a little rat bell, not like I'm even Asian, this isn't even my culture I just think the bells are cute and a nice addition to the household pagan altar, not important, no worries. I'll be okay!
Spoiler alert: I was not okay.
This year has been slipping sideways on me, so I went online and found the nicest horse I could fine.
She just got here. She's taken over on the household altar for the Snake who is now resting with everyone else.
I feel like I just hammered in a tent peg. Like maybe life might still all blow away, but there's something holding it fast.
Vote blue* no matter who!
* or whatever color happens to represent the good cop supposedly moderate/centrist Diet Evil controlled opposition party in your locale
And if you don't, you're a bad person who should feel bad. I am a very good and sensible person and this is very democratic.
Vote for the party candidate, unless they're someone with actually progressive politics. Then don't vote for them because they're unelectable.
After all, you don't want someone unelectable getting elected. That would be bad.
Gracias por tus esfuerzos. 👍

Enterprise Vandalized: No Cars for ICE
In the early morning hours of Tuesday, Jan 27, we crept into the Enterprise Rental lot on on Sandy Blvd. and 28th and disabled every car, truck, and van parked there. A large message reading “ICE RENTS HERE” was sprayed across the building to make our motive clear to any passerbys. Awls made quick work of the tires and each vehicle also received a complementary paint job. We left just as quickly as we arrived, with the air still hissing out of the tires as we disappeared back into the night with smiles on our faces and joy in our hearts.
ICE and Border Patrol have been using vehicles rented from Enterprise to kidnap and deport people across the country, including here in Portland. Enterprise has several locations across the city. It only took us a few minutes to make an entire lot of vehicles inoperable. It was simple and fun, and we heard a rumor that Enterprise canceled their Portland area hiring event as a result of our nighttime intervention. Oopsie!

As his Board of Peace bids to become an alternative United Nations, the president plans to rule the Strip and reap the profits.Jewish Currents
«[T]hrough the Board of Peace—in which the US presides over weak and corrupt sycophants—Trump has conjured a fantasy. Rather than adapt to the multipolar world that actually exists, he is maintaining the illusion of American supremacy by fashioning an illusory world.
…
Economically and militarily, the US is much less dominant than it was when the UN was born. It now accounts for only one-quarter of the world’s nominal GDP, with China not far behind. And while Washington still spends three times as much as Beijing on the military, it spent six times as much only 14 years ago. This shifting power balance is present within the United Nations, where China—which funded less than one percent of the institution’s budget in the year 2000—now funds 20%, almost as high a share as the US. That’s why Trump wants an alternative. Working through the UN would require working on roughly equal terms with China, something Trump rejects.»
