THIS thread is among most important I’ve ever read.
The social construct making wage theft “Civil” rather than “Criminal”
👉🏼 protects employer-employee bears expense/time of litigation
👉🏼 people committing most harm aren't in jail & don’t live in “high crime neighborhoods”
Most theft is wage theft. Meaning, the dollar value of stolen wages is greater than the value, each year, of all burglaries+robberies, shoplifting, auto theft, combined. Yet, wage theft is NOT A CRIME 2/
Nearly 1,000 migratory birds died at ONE building just this morning in Chicago. Imagine across the whole city.

-Turn #LightsOut- 11pm-6 am during migration periods (April/May & September/October)
-Ask your building to: https://t.co/4FlhmpAyfU

@WhartonGradMBA@nicholaswu12 Wow. It has been taken down. That is stomach turning.
There is another copy of this somewhere...will have to find and post here.
It takes real guts to call out excessive police spending in 2022, amid Democrats’ "defund is dead" cacophony and a GOP-cultivated crime panic.

For good reasons, most stroke survivors don't return to work until >6 months post-stroke. But for many, getting back on the job sustains a sense of purpose & autonomy.

Twitter is a hellsite that also houses a vital time-stamped chronology of state corruption. It shows who know what and when, and gives some insight into why. Chronology is an enemy of autocracy. Altering Twitter is altering history, and that's the appeal to autocratic minds.
A few months ago, @protctdemocracy published a guide for how reporters can cover and distinguish threats from politics-as-usual. This blurb seems helpful as we figure out how to cover disinformation in information security. https://t.co/FcOMinyUJV
