Two hundred union workers, out of 5,700 who assemble dishwashers, refrigerators, washers, and dryers for GE Appliances-Haier at Appliance Park in Louisville, Kentucky, received notice this month that the Trump administration is revoking their work authorizations.

The immigrant workers from Cuba, Nicaragua, Haiti, and Venezuela have received a mixed reaction to their imminent deportation—hostility from some co-workers and an outpouring of support from their union and the local labor movement. They’re part of the Communications Workers’ industrial division, IUE-CWA Local 83761.

    …what?

    There’s only one s but it’s used 4 times, obviously.

    Jokes aside, are you alright? I know I came back at you a bit hard and fast with the goal of matching your energy, but this sort of rambling is honestly rather concerning.

    I’m not going to respond to your other comments for a bit and would suggest you take a break as well. If you would like to pick up this up in another couple days, let me know.

    Take care of yourself friend.

      For anyone reading this: Go back and read the thing about “fixed” versus not “fixed.” It’s super weird.

      Me: Pretty sure I explicitly said the exact opposite of that. My wording was, “I’m not saying the system is fixed. In particular that cop who broke the neck of an elderly Japanese man and then had his charges overridden by someone at the state level when the system attempted to charge him with a crime. That’s the one big example I can think of recently.”

      SinAdjetivos: the same police you are claiming are “fixed”

      The fact that this person is pretending not to understand that very simple point that I’m making, and concern-trolling about not wanting to talk more because they’re worried that I’m “rambling” and it’s “concerning”, is… well, not surprising, I guess.

        My dude, this conversation started because you thought it was necessary to come at a “I completely agree, here’s another interesting facet/perspective” comment where you don’t see the connection with hostility, conspiracy theories and willful ignorance.

        After getting repeatedly fact checked and refusing to engage with any of those points your only way to continue arguing your point is an insane ad Hominen that I’m a robot who easily passes the turing test.

        Those are not signs of a good mental state.
