Absolutely insane a pedophile is getting this much consideration and protection.
Here’s the underlying Epstein bill. For this to have legal force — as opposed to just messaging value:
1. House must pass it. (Discharge petition can only to force a vote.)
2. Senate must pass it.
3. Either Trump signs it or Congress overrides his veto.

Grijalva just signed the Epstein discharge petition.
It now has the 218 signatures necessary to start the clock that will, in a few weeks, trigger floor votes on the underlying bill to require release of the full Epstein files.

This was an amazing workshop! So much good conversation between different organizing groups. We wanted to help others and not surprisingly, we learned a few things too! Organizing is a challenge and leaning on each other for support can help so much.

OMG It's ME! I will forever be grateful to those that listen to the hidden workers story.
Two decades later, the label of AI still hides a world of interconnected workers in the U.S. and abroad who keep the magic going. That's why ee collaborated with @alphabetworkersunion.org to investigate what conditions they’re working under.

Microsoft cancels Israeli spy unit access after tech worker revolt
In a stunning and massive development, tech giant Microsoft has announced that it is terminating parts of the Israeli military’s access to proprietary technology that it was using to conduct mass surveillance and targeting of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. “Microsoft told Israeli officials late last week that Unit 8200, the military’s elite spy agency, had violated the company’s terms of service by storing the vast trove of surveillance data in its Azure cloud platform,” the Guardian reports. “The termination is the first known case of a US technology company withdrawing services provided to the Israeli military since the beginning of its war on Gaza.” This major development would not have happened without the joint-investigative work of reporters at The Guardian, +972 Magazine, and Local Call exposing Microsoft’s complicity with Unit 8200’s mass-surveillance campaign, but it also would not have happened without the disruptive protests by tech workers within Microsoft. In this panel discussion, we speak with three fired Microsoft tech workers and members of the “No Azure for Apartheid” campaign—Nisreen Jaradat, Julius Shan, and Anna Hattle—about the role workers have played in pressuring Microsoft to end its complicity in Israel’s war crimes.

NEW RESEARCH ALERT 🚨
Tech giants are making massive investments in generative AI, integrating it into their existing products and selling access to the foundational models to others.
But all that money and power isn’t making its way down to the people who make AI actually work: data workers.
