assuming their actual hiring practices are not really changing

Why on earth would anyone paying even the slightest bit of attention assume that?

If Google from now on only hired straight, white people, it would be detrimental to them for missing out on a huge pool of talent and they know this

Even with DEI they still hire more straight white men than any other group, and they do so because they don't give a shit about the talent they might be missing out on because they don't consider marginalised people to be as talented in the first place, that's literally how white supremacy along with other systems of oppression function, and they aren't something that is just happening now, they are literally what America and capitalism are founded on.

These aren’t businesses making tough choices – they’re paper empires run by moral cowards—simpering, whimpering, and weak.”

How desperate to hide from reality can someone be??

These are the most powerful people on the planet making perfectly reasonable decisions for their own benefit, because that's literally the only thing they've ever cared about.

The idea that corporations and the people who run them should be "brave" and stand up against the very system that enables them to exist, or somehow give a single fuck about society at large, otherwise they're "cowards" (and not simply self serving oppressors) is so far beyond absurd, it's actually enraging at this point.

I have some similar issues, so I can relate, except for the sitting (or standing) fast, since my joints just won't let me 😭

Great that changing meds helped so noticeably!

Good on you, keep at it as long as you are able, those who are in danger and stuck in the most dangerous places need to see someone sticking up for them the most. ✊

There is also [email protected] in case that fits, but it's pretty quiet too..

I hope the "some type of way" you feel isn't too bad, or that at least knowing there are more of us out there helps a little. 👋

I generally just ignore all holidays, it's so much easier lol

Fancy!

Sorry, in all seriousness that really sucks, sending you a friendly internet hug.

[–] ShareMySims 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Same, I'd read it quite a while back and it was an eye opener, and "we want accomplices not allies" stuck with me, a few interactions I'd had recently made me want to post it lol

It's a shame that those who need to read it most won't, or will but find ways to distance themselves (like "oh, well this is about being an ally to Indigenous people so it doesn't apply to me, someone who claims to be any ally to [insert other marginalised group here]") as if these principals can't or shouldn't be applied universally and across the board..

In any case, definitely a must read.

That's how they get you!

ooh piece of candy

Fuck your broken system.

Its not broken, it's working exactly as designed.

[–] ShareMySims -3 points 7 months ago

Step one (and the easiest thing for me to do) is to write things like this and try to let people know I’m with them.

Step one is listening and being willing to deal with the discomfort that might come with that. Not being the easiest thing for you to do is for you to resolve with yourself. But step one will always be to set your ego aside and listen.

but it’s a start.

That's for you to prove, the fight rages on with or without you.

ID: A guide titled "Know Your Rights with ICE: What is a warrant?" posted by servicesnotsweepscoalition and created by WASHINGTON IMMIGRANT SOLIDARITY NETWORK. There are 9 images in English followed by the same 9 images in Spanish, which I will put in their own comment to the post:

Full transcript:1 Know Your Rights with ICE: What is a warrant? A judicial warrant and an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) warrant serve different purposes and carry distinct legal authority.

Understanding the difference is crucial, especially when it comes to protecting your rights during encounters with law enforcement or immigration authorities.

2 Remember If law enforcement, including ICE, knock on your door, do NOT open the door. First, ask them to slide a judicial warrant under the door. ICE and CBP have been known to use warrants that lure community members to surrender without due process.

3 Judicial warrant versus ICE warrant A judicial warrant is an official court order signed by a judge or magistrate that authorizes a search of private property, seizure, or arrest based on probable cause that a crime is being committed or has been committed. A judicial warrant will:

• Specify the specific address to be searched • Specify the time period in which the search must take place

• Particularly describe the place or person, or both, to be searched and things to be seized

• Be issued by a court and signed by a Judge or magistrate

4 This is a judicial warrant. This DOES authorize agents to enter your house or search your car. Bellow is an image of a judicial warrant, arrows point to relevant sections highlighting that it is a COURT ORDER, that it has your NAME & ADDRESS and that it has a JUDGE SIGNATURE "JUDICIAL OFFICER"

5 Judicial warrant versus ICE warrant: ICE agents have been known to use an ICE administrative warrant to bait people into giving them access to their homes, cars and belongings. This document is issued by a federal agency, such as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) or ICE, claiming its authority to arrest a person suspected of violating immigration laws. These administrative documents are not signed by a neutral magistrate or judge but rather by an immigration officer like an ICE agent or immigration judge.

• An ICE administrative warrant is NOT a judicial warrant. ICE administrative warrants do not give ICE officials authority to enter a place where there is a reasonable expectation of privacy, without consent.

• If this happens-state clearly that you do not consent to them entering but do not physically resist. If ICE officials have already entered, then ask them to leave and state that you do not consent to a search.

6 This is an ICE administrative warrant which DOES NOT authorize agents to enter your home. Bellow is an image of an ICE administrative warrant, arrows point to relevant sections highlighting that THIS IS AN IMMIGRATION ORDER, NOT A SEARCH WARRANT and that it is SIGNED BY 'INS OFFICER' AND NOT A JUDGE OR MAGISTRATE.

7 If you are approached by ICE, remember:

DOCUMENT THE INTERACTION. Inform the agent that you are going to use your right to record. Take photos, video and write down all the details

Spanish edition (apologies for any errors, I don't speak the language):

1 Conoce tus derechos frente a la migra: ¿Qué es una orden judicial? Una orden judicial y una orden de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE por sus siglas en ingles) tienen propósitos diferentes y poseen distintas autoridades legales. Entender la diferencia es crucial, especialmente cuando se trata de proteger tus derechos durante encuentros con las autoridades policiales o de inmigración.

2 Recuerda Si las autoridades, incluyendo a ICE, tocan a tu puerta, NO abras la puerta. Primero, pídeles que pasen una orden judicial por debajo de la puerta. ICE y CBP han usado órdenes que engañan a los miembros de la comunidad para que se rindan sin el debido proceso.

3 Orden judicial versus orden de ICE Una orden judicial es una orden oficial emitida por un juez o magistrado que autoriza el registro de una propiedad privada, la confiscación de bienes o el arresto basado en causa probable de que se está cometiendo o se ha cometido un delito. Una orden judicial debe:

• Especificar la dirección exacta que se va a registrar.

• Indicar el período de tiempo en el cual debe llevarse a cabo el registro.

• Describir específicamente el lugar o persona a registrar, o ambos, así como los objetos a confiscar.

• Ser emitida por un tribunal y estar firmada por un juez o magistrado.

4 Esto es una orden judicial. Sí autoriza a los agentes a entrar a tu casa o tu automóvil. A continuación se muestra una imagen de una orden judicial, las flechas señalan las secciones relevantes resaltando que se trata de una ORDEN DE LA CORTE, que tenga su NOMBRE Y DOMICILIO CORRECTO y que tenga la FIRMA DEL JUEZ "JUDICIAL OFFICER"

5 Orden judicial versus orden de inmigración Los agentes de ICE a menudo utilizan órdenes administrativas para engañar a las personas y obtener acceso a sus hogares, automóviles y pertenencias. Este documento es emitido por una agencia federal, como el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS) o ICE, y reclama autoridad para arrestar a una persona sospechosa de violar las leyes de inmigración.

Estas órdenes administrativas no son firmadas por un juez o magistrado neutral, sino por un oficial de inmigración, como un agente de ICE o un juez de inmigración.

Una orden administrativa de ICE NO autoriza a los oficiales de ICE a entrar en un lugar donde exista una expectativa razonable de privacidad, sin consentimiento.

• Si esto sucede: Declara claramente que no das tu consentimiento para que entren, pero no resistas físicamente. Si los oficiales de ICE ya han entrado, pídeles que se retiren y declara que no consientes un registro.

6 Esto es una orden administrativa de ICE, la cual NO autoriza a los agentes a entrar en tu casa. A continuación se muestra una imagen de una orden administrativa de ICE, las flechas apuntan a las secciones relevantes resaltando que UNA ORDEN DE LA MIGRA NO LE DA PERMISO AL OFICIAL ENTRAR A SU CASA...PERO y que está FIRMADA POR UN 'OFICIAL DE INS' Y NO POR UN JUEZ O MAGISTRADO.

  1. Warner asks "What happened to the tolerant left?"

  2. Elle replies, smiling "Who said we were tolerant?"

  3. Warner continues "I thought you were supposed to be tolerant of all beliefs!"

  4. Elle looks confused "Why would we tolerate bigotry, inequity, or oppression?"
