With the Amazon strike, it's important to know that there are *at least* 32.4 million low-wage workers in the US whose employers use AI to decide who gets hired and fired, to set their pay, and to surveil and manage them. The use of AI makes work more dangerous, unstable, and unfair. Our report:

I think everyone should get to know the west African term “wahala”. It generally means “chaos”, “confusion”, or “drama”. A clusterfuck. I’ve been on a mission for years to use it more regularly in my work. Because—- *gestures at everything* See wahala?!???

I was part of the efforts to shut down the JRC. As triggering as this is, there is a critical point that matters to us, and that is denial of mental health care.
