Wow, until I read the actual resolution, I didn't realize that my firing (along with @Tri_Becca90 @SophieJusticeW @nullvoidstar) is mentioned specifically. Given how far back they cite history, seem to understand how all of this from @GoogleWalkout to @timnitGebru connect. 1/2 https://twitter.com/...

You said it, Hannah Lucal, that's what they claimed about a lot of us. It's their favorite excuse. It's intended to keep workers afraid, second guessing their safety every time they speak up about the issues that matter most. Hopefully more good news in our fight soon! 2/2 https://twitter.com/...

Funny how this gets dropped late the night before it's supposedly going to be announced. Folks on the teams can't comment usefully because they haven't been told. But it's right before the announcement so by the time they can it's old news. Conclusion: source is likely Google PR https://twitter.com/...
