The fact that some of the companies who run the games industry are fighting so hard to stop unionization just proves how much power the workers have when they stand together. This disgusting action only delays the inevitable; solidarity will win.

IWGB Game Workers Union @gameworkers.co.uk · 3d

This is the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK games industry. Yesterday, @rockstargames.com unfairly fired over 30 employees for union activity.

We won't back down, and we're not scared - we will fight for every member to be reinstated.

Jason Schreier @jasonschreier.bsky.social · 3d

BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct.

Here's the scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Academic workers from the AAUP and AFT won a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration's actions against noncitizen students and faculty for pro-Palestine speech.

The case underscores the power of unions to resist authoritarianism and shows workers' rights = civil rights = immigrant rights 🧵

Adam Quinn @adamquinnphd.com · Sep 30

Judge Young (a Reagan appointee) ruled in favor of the AAUP/AFT and against Trump for punishing immigrant students for pro-Palestine speech.

His decision remarks that the government's campaign goes "beyond its closest analogues in the Red Scare."

Here's how he starts the decision off:

A photocopied letter reads "Trump has pardons and tanks.... what do you have?" The judge responds "Alone, i have nothing but my sense of duty. Together, we the people of the united states - you and me - have our magnificent constitution. Here's how that works out in a specific case.

Housing justice is global. Senators report Israel is destroying Palestinian homes to force families out—ethnic cleansing by another name. Just like tenants everywhere, Palestinians deserve safe, stable homes.

If a landlord threatens eviction for ANY reason, *immediately* email [email protected] with the subject line "I AM BEING EVICTED" so we can help. Because of extremely unfair legal deadlines for (even illegal) evictions, it's crucial to react ASAP. Do NOT wait to use our clinic for evictions.

America could simply repeal an old GOP law & build more housing right now.

But the Abundance Guys are instead selling a complex theory of zoning reforms - which have enriched developers but spectacularly failed to systematically transform housing markets where they've happened.
