More than 30,000 Samsung Electronics union members gathered today outside the company’s big chip factory in Pyeongtaek, South Korea. They want an average bonus of about $400,000 per worker, this is their share of the huge profits from the AI chip boom. The union is asking for 15% of the company’s operating profit as bonuses for chip workers, with no limits. They also want a 7% raise in base pay. That would mean 40 to 45 trillion KRW in total bonuses. The company has offered 10% of profits as bonuses plus a 6.2% wage increase. The union said no. The union now represents most of Samsung’s workers and has threatened an 18-day strike starting May 21 that could hurt global supplies of AI chips.

BREAKING: Four action takers from 'People Against Genocide' are occupying the roof of an Israeli drone factory in Leicester. The team evaded security at the weapons plant and used ladders to ascend over razor-wire fencing, gaining access to the factory roof, to shut Elbit down.

The moment a rescued chimpanzee thanked Dr. Jane Goodall in a way no one expected

@DrDeath1776 @zeeemedia @apotheon Good. Keep them away.

@zeeemedia @apotheon They better stay the fuck off my farm!

Palantir now has a $300 million deal with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which will use the software company’s technology to “manage farmland as geopolitical risks threaten global supply chains.” It won’t be long before your only option is gene edited food. Grow your own.

@zeeemedia Dear American Farmers Say, no. Say, no frequently and loudly. Don't let them near your farms.

Palantir and @louismosley can try amd gaslight all as much as they want - the British public wants Palantir out. They will lose. #PalantirOut

Is anyone even gonna ask the obvious question: why? Why has it become normal for America to go attacking and destroying and seizing other countries and taking their assets, without any justification? It goes beyond question that Cuba poses no threat to anyone. Why then, is military force on the table? Where is the legality, the justification, the morality… They are all absent, and this is just another naked power grab, of the alleged most powerful nation on the planet, trying to crush one of the smallest and weakest powers in this hemisphere. It is disgraceful and disgusting.

So begins the largest veteran and military family act of civil disobedience since the Iraq war began, occupying the Cannon building Rotunda - protesting yet another forever war with Iran which includes the genocide in Palestine, the ethnic cleansing in southern Lebanon, and the potential ground operation in Cuba. Whatever violence we do overseas always comes back home and every war fought by this government is a war on the working class, which is you… we’re here until arrest or speaker Mike Johnson come out to answer for the dead and meet our demands. If you’re an active duty service member and do not wish to join the 5th US generation fighting in a senseless self-destructive war, immoral war for the rich, we will stand with you, there is a way out.

That are now ELEVEN oil or gas facility fires or explosions in countries not directly involved, in the six weeks since the beginning of the illegal US war against Iran. Must be just coincidences. A lot of coincidences.

When I worked at CBC, seniors rejected my pitch to interview genocide scholars on Gaza and forced me to produce an interview with Alinejad on how the West should support regime change in Iran.

This is a bad frame. The post office is a service. How much did the military “lose” last year?

The moment is too big for silence. Veterans were arrested today in peaceful civil disobedience. We were told Iraq would be quick. We buried our friends for 20 years. No war with Iran. Not in our name. Not again. @VetsAboutFace @VFPNational @CCW4COs

@MrJoKeR604 As a Canadian recently in Uruguay, a hotel staffer said, “ahh, you have a bad neighbour!

@belle_levesque @maddenifico @Mme1960 That goes back 50 years ago when I was back packing around the world. I had a Canadian Flag on my back pack so my English accent wasn't misconstrued as an American.

@maddenifico @Mme1960 We were on a dinner cruise in Tokyo last Nov. - the only westerners on the boat. People were aloof. Halfway through the dinner, the host asked us where we were from. Canada. She announced this and people applauded. The whole atmosphere changed. Americans are universally reviled.

Due to the most hated man in the world, the pedophile führer, this is the experience all Americans are having. Just be aware, if you are traveling out of country, you're going to have to explain yourself. If you're MAGA, be prepared to have the snot beat out of you. 😳👇

@pcgamer With this, the flock cameras, and the 3d printing laws, it really feels like the old people in power are trying to screw us over one last time before they croak
