I was very excited to discover that my #whistleblower case against #Apple was featured in yet another article about how companies are not supposed to fire their employees in #retaliation for reporting crimes!
#FrontLineDefenders condemns targetting of members of #Nozhin assn & sentencing of #HumanRights defenders Soma Pourmohammadi, Serveh Pourmohammadi, Seivan Ebrahimi & Edris Menbari, as it believes it is in #retaliation of their peaceful & legitimate human rights work in #Iran.
On 13 May 2024, Soma Pourmohammadi appealed a 10 yr prison sentence issued by Branch 1 of #SanandajRevolutionaryCourt on 16 April & announced to the defender on 21 April 2024.
So Iran’s mullah regime can go jump off a cliff as far as I’m concerned (and the sooner the better for the sake of the Iranian people) but it’s amazing to read articles in Western media where it’s not even mentioned that Iran retaliated because Israel bombed their freaking embassy.
Also, little reminder: Israel – hand in hand with its buddies, the US, UK, Germany… – is busy carrying out the genocide of the Palestinian people.
Also, contrary to what you might be reading, I don’t think Iran’s attack was a failure at all. Clearly they got some very valuable data out of it and, beyond that, I’ve seen estimates that it cost Israel and its allies over a billion dollars to thwart the attack while it cost Iran around 10% of that to stage it. The only way Israel & co. could have lost more money more quickly is if they’d hired Elon Musk as CEO.
„Governments across the Arab world called for de-escalation in tensions between Israel and Iran (…).
Iran fired about 350 rockets toward Israel (…). Nearly all the rockets were intercepted in a joint effort by Israel, Jordan* and the U.S., with minimal damage inside Israel.“
Last night attacks from Iran into Israel are a major setback for the international peaceful movements pressuring Western powers to stop arming Israel...

#ElonMusk’s EV company Tesla allowed racial #harassment of its #Black employees to run rampant at its Fremont, CA, plant & retaliated against some workers who complained, the federal agency charged w/ enforcing #CivilRights#laws alleged in a #lawsuit Thurs.

#Thomas has attended at least two #Koch donor summits, putting him in the extraordinary position of having helped a #political network that has brought multiple #cases before the #SupremeCourt.
The network often rents out an entire hotel for the event, keeping out eavesdroppers. Documents left behind are methodically shredded. One recent attendee recalled #Koch security staff in a golf cart escorting their Uber driver out of the hotel to make sure he left. The fmr staffers spoke on the condition of anonymity because they feared #retaliation.
From pushing the #TwitterFiles to tweeting baseless conspiracies about former employees, Mr. #Musk’s actions have normalized and popularized #vigilante accountability, and made ordinary employees of his company into even greater targets. His recent targeting of the #AntiDefamationLeague has shown that he views personal #retaliation as an appropriate #consequence for any #criticism of him or his business interests.
President Biden’s son Hunter was indicted Thurs for allegedly making false statements & illegal gun possession — setting the stage for a possible #criminal#trial for the younger #Biden in 2024 while his father campaigns for re-election.
These multiple charges smack of govt #retaliation. The three charges are IDENTICAL; hard to see the proper exercise of #ProsecutorialDiscretion here; & this is after the prosecution really messed up the #plea first time around. And the tax charges still will be brought.
I filed a civil suit against my ex-employer on Thursday
The charges: #whistleblower retaliation, labor and #privacy violations, environmental crimes, and #RICO (The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act)
Life is full of choices. The one that faces you today is this: Do you want to live in a world of peace or a world of fear and retaliation? Your actions dictate your experience.
If you retaliate against someone, you teach retaliation, and it propagates. And you experience retaliation in return.
If you practice forgiveness, you teach forgiveness, and it propagates, and you experience forgiveness in return.
