Workers throughout North America came together to #SaveOurDevs in response to the senseless layoffs Microsoft performed last week. Unions across @cwaunion.bsky.social are saying enough. The id Software union, BFU, plans to fight like hell.

I remember when I used to spend my weekends enjoying my free time and not wondering if Microsoft will lay off another 1600 of my fellow XBOX coworkers come Monday. Good games do not get made in these working conditions.

Proud to announce our HARDSHIP FUND: uvw-cwa.org/hardship-fun... If you've been recently laid off and need support, we got you.
A red poster with a white logo (a polygonal heart lifted by 2 hands) and the title "United Videogame Workers – Hardship Fund", followed by this copy:

"UVW-CWA stands for every game worker: for those still employed and fighting for union contracts and those who have been callously treated as disposable by executives who've never shipped a title. 

We are proud to announce our launch of a hardship fund for game workers across the US and Canada who have been subjected to layoffs. If you are a game worker in need of support, please apply."

Below the text is a link to the initiative (as in the post) and the UVW-CWA logo.

ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.

Sad to see the Ides of March becoming commercialised like this. I really feel like we're losing track of the true spirit of the holiday. It's not about how many knives you can stick in a tyrant all at once, it's about the whole community coming together to stab the tyrant as many times as possible.

The threat of detention warehouses harkens back to one of our most shameful periods as a nation, when warehouses were used for Japanese American incarceration in the 1940s, which caused immense suffering and generational trauma. It was wrong then and it is wrong now.

All this does is fuel transphobic parental fears that listening to their child, taking them seriously and respecting them is somehow indulgent and harmful. And fuel efforts to suppress and punish children for trans gender expression.

I was back in federal court today. They’re still prosecuting me — my trial date is May 11th — but we’re pressing for evidence discovery. Because someone is “unreasonably obstructing the usual use” of the immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza. But it’s ICE, not me. And the evidence will prove it.

I understand the reasons why it’s more jarring and consequential to see it happen among billionaires, but the kind of shrugging disinterest or impishly approving encouragement of sexual abuse among Epstein’s circle is the same dynamic that happens in less powerful milieus.
