It also needs crowd sourced legal assistance
Basically any union in Germany has access to an army of lawyers, your dues double as legal insurance covering anything related to work and welfare.
Comment on Resistance from the tech sector
timewarp@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoI’ve been saying this for such a long time, the tech industry needs unions. It also needs crowd sourced legal assistance as well because it isn’t going to be easy. They’ll fire of course at first despite being illegal, then they’ll want migrants that they can threaten with deportation if they don’t comply. Even if Trump goes away, unions will be necessary to keep corporations accountable.

Yes, but even before you get to that point. Like I said they’ll fight dirty at first, so having assistance to even be able to get to that point requires community efforts.

No one was talking about sabotage

Maybe go actually read the article before you make it so obvious that you didn’t.

What a wild goddamn thing to say when US citizen children with cancer are being rounded up and deported to countries they’ve never lived in. Please, share. Where have you drawn the line?
timewarp@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I didn’t say not to draw a line. I just said I was opposed to sabbatoge for the time being. There are lots of other things you can do right now to work towards restoring diplomacy.
WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
Great, so I’m asking you. Where is your line, beyond which sabotage is suddenly morally justified?

When the courts have shown multiple times that they no longer care about the constitution. Right now we have the Supreme Court ruling against the Trump admin’s illegal deportations. Unfortunately it takes time for the process to play out. I am optimistic that the courts will for now maintain the checks & balances. The courts are the strongest protection against Trump’s authoritarian attempts.
