People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
  7. If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

OMG they really do.

I remember when I lived in Germany, French Truckers had a protest where they parked hundreds of trucks on highways and basically shut down the highways in France.

You know how the French people reacted?

They brought the truckers food and water so they would not go hungry.

The solidarity of the French is no bullshit!

…by a fellow worker who will not be prosecuted because “they were just defending themselves”

Can’t be late to work. Will get fired and replaced by ai. Which means no healthcare, no house, no food.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

That’ll happen either way, if we let the people who would have stood in solidarity with us protest alone and be fired themselves. I’m not telling you what to do, but you’re not protecting yourself

If the wannabe oligarchs get their way, that'll happen anyway....

True, a job means healthcare and a house. Right?
