Why is anyone still on X? Got on Mastodon already and take your power back.

"Free speech absolutist" my ass.

Xitter, pronounced shitter

"im taking away your banana sticker" 😤

This story keeps getting posted, as if the propaganda needs to be spread more. This was an automated system that was in place before musk which temporarily removed the blue check when you're profile changed, as a precaution against hacked accounts having a huge reach. UAW changed their profile picture when the strike was called. I'm pro strike and member of a union who is in solidarity with the strike action, but let's call facts as they are and not spread misinformation, even when it's for our side

And a colleague of mine recently praised Musk to me for bringing back free speech to twitter...

Wasnt this an automated thing cause they changed their profile pictures? Which happens to anyone with a checkmark that changes their picture.

X?

Anyway

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The move seemingly makes it harder for UAW to maximize reach for its posts on X, just as workers have begun striking, demanding better wages and other benefits.

UAW's negotiations also seek to expand benefits for union workers involved "in the production of electric vehicles and the batteries needed to power them," The Intercept reported, and those conversations could also impact Tesla operations.

Last year, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) ordered Tesla to revise its policies "to make clear that it does not prohibit production associates from wearing black union shirts."

There was also tension earlier this year when Tesla Autopilot Buffalo-based workers tried to unionize, alleging that they were being treated "like robots" and pressured to skip bathroom breaks.

And most recently in April, the NLRB again ruled that Tesla violated labor laws when managers at an Orlando repair shop illegally silenced workers attempting to discuss pay and working conditions, Reuters reported.

In the moments after X reinstated UAW's verification, the union began posting in support of strikers in Ohio and Missouri, some of them chanting, "No justice, no jeeps!"

The original article contains 621 words, the summary contains 182 words. Saved 71%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Will this be the fulcrum the NLRB uses to start figuratively throwing bricks through Musk's windows? Tune in next time and find out

I paid for the checkmark (for the year) and a couple of months later my account got suspended with no violation or violating tweet cited. No appeal.
