@rscamden @metapods @AlDogg44 @BpopeTV @SamHouseholder and if want a more contemporary selection with the same flavor (or just love the Coen Bros), I’d swap:

The Third Man -> No Country For Old Men

Strangelove -> Burn After Reading

1/ Amazon fired tech workers after we invited employees to an internal virtual event to hear directly from our warehouse coworkers and @NaomiAKlein! Amazon employees: our Thurs event is ON. Since Amazon censored this event, you must RSVP here: https://t.co/AMOKOx71r5

I stand with these Amazon employees who are courageously speaking out. They are telling Jeff Bezos to end his hypocrisy: You cannot call your corporation a "leader" on climate change while partnering with ExxonMobil and BP to extract more fossil fuels. https://t.co/sStmoHqRFq

THREAD/ Jeff Bezos and Amazon executives are threatening to fire a few members of our group after we spoke up about wanting our company to be a leader in the worldwide effort to avert climate catastrophe.

@rscamden this is Bill Oakley, former Simpson’s writer, turned instagram fast food review star. Ryan, we all need you to produce this kind of content immediately. https://t.co/0wiUD0UVVa

Last month, thousands of Amazon employees all over the world walked out for the Global #ClimateStrike to call attention to Amazon's lack of climate leadership. Jeff Bezos responded by releasing the Climate Pledge.

We are thrilled with our win, but we know it is not enough.

@ArielBrassil lol I do this except I skip ahead and then don’t know what’s going on. I’ve probably missed at least 20% of most veep episodes.

@ElKingpin @AMZNforClimate 11:30am at the spheres!

Check out https://t.co/u8fkEJmPaU and find the Amazon internal walkout page for details. Glad to have you with us!

[WIRED @WIRED]

Over 900 Amazon employees have signed a petition pledging to walk out over their employer’s inaction on climate change. The demonstration will mark the first time in Amazon’s 25-year history that workers at its Seattle headquarters have walked off the job. https://t.co/BQcMjxtc8h

[Amazon Employees For Climate Justice @AMZNforClimate]

We want Amazon to commit to zero emissions by 2030 and pilot electric vehicles first in communities most impacted by pollution. We should be leaders reaching zero first, not sliding in at the last moment.

Pledge to walk out with us: https://t.co/Ubcm6G2XWQ

[Weston Fribley @wtfribley]

Amazon warehouse workers are humans, not robots. We traveled to MN to deliver words of support from their corporate co-workers. When it comes to decisions that affect our work, our health, and our communities, Amazon workers need a seat at the table.

@McK_Who @jc_chamberlain very jealous.

[Amazon Employees For Climate Justice @AMZNforClimate]

UPDATE: As of 6 PM (PST) we have surpassed 4,500 signatures!

A deep thank you to every Amazon employee who signed! 👏🏻👏🏽👏🏿

[The Seattle Times @seattletimes]

While Amazon has set some ambitious climate-related goals, observers say it has been among the least transparent of its competitors in disclosing how and when it intends to meet them. (Story by @bromano) https://t.co/kozuICDaab

[The New York Times @nytimes]

As many tech employees take a more activist approach to issues, some are using the stock they've earned as a way to demand changes at their companies https://t.co/fgiezhvBDD
