Medium CEO Tony Stubblebine gave employees Friday off to participate in a nationwide general strike protesting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The strike calls for no work, school, or shopping to defund ICE following escalated raids that killed several people, including two U.S. citizens. Stubblebine emphasized individual choice in participation while ensuring business continuity. This contrasts with many large tech companies courting the Trump administration, as rank-and-file tech workers demand ICE leave U.S. cities through open letters signed by over 500 industry employees.
