I got temporarily banned from posting on Twitter because I told a Nazi to go follow his leader. Did the Nazi get muted or banned for saying that Hitler was right and parroting eugenics ideology? Lol no

when I was working at Activision we found out our IT guy put hidden cameras in the bathroom. shortly after I got over the trauma of that and started using the bathrooms at work again, I got groped by a co-worker in one. that was pretty fucking real to me.

Remembering how Brian Bulatao (then CAO of ABK) singled out one of my fellow union organizers and called them out of the blue. He proceeded to drop that he had "connections in the CIA." Clearly intimidation.

Myself and my colleagues met with executive leadership of ABK multiple times to discuss the ways in which the current policies could be improved to create a safer and harassment-free workplace.

Today, Monday February 10th 2025, CWA Local 7250 filed Unfair Labor Practice charges against Activision with the National Labor Relations Board in Minneapolis. The ULP is in regards to the unjust termination of Allen Junge, a QA tester and union leader who was unjustly terminated.

i worked closely with allen when we first started trying to unionize at abk, he's to credit with so much of why that union was able to happen. you've got my support, allen!

I and many others organized directly alongside Allen at Activision. Not only is he a dedicated employee, but he is also passionate about making sure his coworkers are treated fairly and with respect. Firing him is a blatantly and unashamedly retaliatory move.

Lower your voice." "You are too loud." "You are interrupting." "You are in the way." Why do you try To giftwrap my protest And secure it With a neat bow? My eloquent rage Cannot be confined To your box. My eloquent rage Sees tomorrow for what it promises And today for what it should already be.

It's become increasingly clear to me that ABK's trajectory/long-term plan for their QA teams - including Blizzard, where this is happening as well - is to slowly worsen conditions for FTE QA until they voluntarily quit; and rather than backfill, replace those workers with contract outsourcing.

Hey y'all, my friend and fellow ABetterABK organizer DeBair needs help! DeBair was a victim of ABK's ongoing RTO soft layoff and has fallen into financial hardship because of it. To make matters worse, his kitchen has burned down and repair estimates are around $10k

This is Bisan, Palestinian filmmaker & activist from Gaza. “You aren’t innocent of what’s happening to us, you as governments or people that support Israel's annihilation of my people. We won’t forgive you, humanity won’t forgive you, we won’t forget, even if we die, the history will never forget.”

wizard_bisan1 post via IG:
I no longer have any hope of survival like I had at the beginning of this genocide, and I am certain that I will die in the next few weeks or maybe days. I have been sick with severe viral infection for days and cannot move from the mattress!
I suffer from nightmares that are so closely resemble reality that I no longer differentiate between reality and dream.
I live in a world other than the one I claimed to be building! I am a community activist who lived on the fantasy that the world was free and just, and I sought to bring rights not only to my people, but to many men and women in third world countries!
I was shocked that I was not from the third world!
Indeed, we are the most humane and moral! Yes, because the world approves, supports, and finances the genocide we are being subjected to, legislates it, and gives reasons for 58 days!
The rest of the post is in other photo alt text

While we are a people who have been living on occupied land for 75 years and are still searching for our rights and communicating our voice to the world!
My message to the world: You are not innocent of what is happening to us, you as governments or peoples that support Israel's annihilation of my people. We will not forgive you, we will not forgive you, humanity will not forgive you, we will not forget, even if we die, the history will never forget .
A Message to friends: Thank you and the supporters around the world. You have been compassionate and very strong. We ask you not to lose hope, even if the world seems completely unfair and your efforts have not yet resulted in a ceasefire.
Bisan is standing looking sad & around her is a destructed city.

Executives at Activision Blizzard can work remotely whenever they need/want to. The workers who have a direct hand in creating the games, however, have spent months trying to get remote work accommodations and are still denied, even when disabled, even when sick.

There is no such thing as an ethical billionaire. They have built their wealth from the exploitation of the labor of the working class.

It's clear our industry is in dire need of change. That's why employees across the tech and game industries have begun to unionize. If you're interested in starting a union at your tech or game company, you don't have to do it alone. cwa-union.org/organize-uni...

Unions can not only bargain for higher severance packages, but they can also potentially negotiate for laid off employees' jobs back as well as include Recall Clauses in Bargaining Contracts. www.lawyers.com/legal-info/l...

We are devastated for our colleagues at Bungie who have been laid off and our hearts go out to each of you. Over 6k devs have been laid off from the industry this year, more than any other year in game dev history. How do we fix this? By unionizing.

BREAKING: @maxwellfrost.bsky.social, the youngest member of Congress, just came out swinging against the misguided "Kids Online Safety Act" (KOSA), echoing concerns that LGBTQ and human rights orgs have been raising for months. It's good to have some non-geriatric elected officials finally!!!
