At least 2 @Amazon workers just died when a warehouse collapsed over them

Many more trapped and injured. No answers from Amazon of why workers were still in the facility after tornado warnings

All Amazon's CEO @davehclark offered?

"Thoughts and prayers"

#AmazonTornado
Thanks Dave! Sorry for inconveniencing to pretend you care about Amazon workers.

To chip in and help support Amazon workers who were trapped and injured last night, and to the families of those workers killed you can donate here

Yes it's true that shelter in place is good depending on the timing and situation. That's why everyone is asking Amazon for details. Did they even have a storm shelter? How many could be protected? What was their plan? They knew this storm was coming.

A thread of things people are sharing around the Amazon collapse that killed workers in Edwardsville, Illinois last night. #AmazonTornado

1/x

A driver saying they were still urged to drive shifts into tornado areas.

2/x

Dave Clark, CEO at @Amazon not mentioning any intent to investigate Amazon's safety procedures during the storm, ignoring mentioning the dead workers and offering "thoughts and prayers" #AmazonTornado

3/x
Dave Clark, once again, ignoring @Amazon's own ability to respond to this disaster by leaning on the Red Cross, without mentioning its own massive ability to come to aid workers and families impacted. #AmazonTornado

Remember when you all tried to make Andrew Yang a thing 🤣
Twice!
My favorite part of that era was how his support peeled off like layers of an onion based solely on how long it took different cohorts of his supporters to recognize a scam artist, an internalized racist and a right winger.

Ever fight the urge to sleep by scrolling with your more tired eye closed?
I should have classed this up and said reading a novel instead of scrolling.
Fuck now everyone thinks I’m pedestrian

Imagine holding in the same place in our hearts that both Jews and Palestinians were forced to flee for their lives in the same era.

Imagine stating that and not exploding into useless comparisons and bad faith takes.
Imagine acknowledging that this suffering is an echo born out of German, British and American state malevolence.

Imagine using that as the basis to end apartheid and make everyone safe.
Imagine applying the beliefs we hold in restorative justice here at home, to Israel Palestine — not the states, the individuals.

Imagine these are the doors that are open for the tough conversations.

I’ve been getting to know the blue jays in the yard with a bird feeder in my window.

And by the way they land they are very much not the elegant ballerinas I thought they were.

They only take what they need, but they land like toddlers with snow boots and it’s hilarious.
The sight of a blue jay before it lands looks like a symphony. The sound of it landing is like a trombone filled with sausage falling. Maybe the perch is too shallow. They are also larger than they appear.
I filled it with the blue jays faves, various nuts and oily black seeds. The large group here visits very often but takes so little. Which was surprising. One tiny thing at a time. Then goes on a mission to hide it somewhere.

I’m a slow learner, and a lot of you got here a long time ago, but I can no longer think of anything more essential to our communities (short term) surviving and (long term) changing everything than building or joining a mutual aid network.
It’s always been important in my mind, and informal ones have been around my entire life, but I always defaulted to viewing them as a band aids, or elements in a large effort, something to hold us over before achieving top down legislative power to change our world.
If you care about building actual long term power that no one can take away from a judge’s chambers, an executive order or even a right wing paramilitary, the long term relationships you build by being there for even short term needs will be an evergreen foundation for everything
