Je suis assez vieille pour avoir entendu Lucie Aubrac témoigner un jour lors d'une visite dans mon lycée, et pour voir des néonazis revenir aujourd'hui au pouvoir en Allemagne. (J'ai vieilli ok, mais quand même : c'est allé très vite).

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.

Our games industry is people. Our studios are people. Our teams people, our games by people for people. Our games are made by people, in groups of people, in teams of people, making people things for people. The magic is people, and the people deserve so much better than all this. I am so sorry.

Oui, les manifs sont pas un substitut à l'action. Mais dans un pays hyper individualiste où le gaslighting est incessant, voir ses voisins sortir et exprimer les mêmes convictions, ça romp l'isolement perceptif. Ça baisse le coût perçu de l’opposition, crée des liens pour passer à l'action etc.

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.
