ICE crossed a line in LA

do US liberals go into hibernation during democrat administrations or something. the ferguson protests happened under obama & last year under biden we saw police attacking student gaza protestors all the time

The people standing up to those Nazi fucks in LA are heroes.

If I was a dev and I had spent years working on a game and my boss went on stage and looked like this much of a jackass I'd be so pissed

i think zohran mamdani will win without AOCs endorsement at this point but her lying and assuring everyone that biden was “working tirelessly” for a ceasefire in palestine and then possibly not endorsing zohran looks pretty weak

There's a terrifying amount of people at the highest levels in this industry, who legit just don't like art. They like prestige. They like fame. They like press. They like money. We ain't in this for them.

My week has been busy so this is coming in hot but... TOMORROW at 12pm PT, I am streaming Mario Kart 8 one final time and raising money for the Palestine Children's Relief Fund! Race against me tomorrow: twitch.tv/sadboybarrett Donate: tiltify.com/@sadboybarre...

Amer Rabee was a Palestinian American born in New Jersey. He was not a terrorist — he was just a child. In the West Bank and in Gaza, atrocities like the killing of Amer are occurring daily. We cannot stay silent. We cannot look away.

Please read. We hoped that one of the many members of the Bluesky community from Gaza could be first to share this letter, but we were worried that their account would get taken down if they did. This letter is for @moderation.bsky.app, Bluesky leadership, and the wider community here. Thanks!

Cowards and bigots.

Whenever folks bring up the history of cops and government officials undercutting protest movements and escalating police response via duplicitous action, there is inevitably a chorus of disbelievers. Well, this is as as clear and current as it gets.

He has been really dedicated to making the story of The Last of Us more boring in retrospect, huh.

Fourteen Thousand. The long campaign to dehumanize Palestinians is, fundamentally, about this. To provide cover for the annihilation of a people and their culture, from the youngest to the oldest, to shrugs from the most powerful nations in the world.

Ben of Ben & Jerry’s *arrested* after confronting RFK Jr. & Congress: "They need to let food into Gaza. They need to let food to starving kids! Congress is paying to bomb poor kids in Gaza, and paying for it by kicking poor kids off Medicaid in the US!"

David Zaslav announcing Max is being rebranded back to HBO Max

We are such a fucking embarrassing country, Jesus Christ.

I'd say the obvious question is whether Biden, Harris, et al. regret being unflinchingly supportive of Israel and hostile toward voters whose primary concern was Gaza - but that's just me. I didn't hit myself in the head with a hammer 10 times before writing a piece for a neocon website.

This is a despicable hit piece that refuses to introspect about the effect of *genocide itself* on Democrats' electoral loss. The Bulwark's founders helped Trump's rise and ensured Trump's return by demanding Democrats become 2003-era Republicans. Fuck everybody who works there.

Killing all gaming media on the eve of a big console launch and a few months before what will likely be the biggest video game of all time is smart and well thought-out business from people that definitely do not spend all day eating their own shit.

Awful reading about everything happening in games media today. That corporate higher ups are so inept to not see the immense value in everyone laid off from Polygon is insane to me. Everyone at Polygon and Giant Bomb deserved better. Fuck Fandom. Fuck Valnet.

Mohsen Mahdawi is free. As the federal judge who ordered his release said, “This is not the first time that the nation has seen chilling action by the government intended to shut down debate.” May it be the last.

We knew this and we said it and people were furious that we said it. With no evidence, people wanted to believe the lies of proven liars.

the fact that Trump is such a bad politician he managed to lose a different country's election really just proves how awful his opponents have been in the U.S. presidential elections

Do Well. Get Fucked: The Video Game Industry Story.

fuck all the way off with this stupid shit. it is never, ever, the responsibility of a voter if they do not vote for the preferred candidate. it is the responsibility of a candidate (and, if a partisan election, their party) to motivate voters. (also lol at the idea any such ppl are on bluesky)

he’s right and he’s right to say it

“We are at a moment right now where people are asking themselves why can’t the Democratic Party defend this assault on democracy . . . and I would submit to you that if you can’t draw the line at genocide, you probably can’t draw the line at democracy.” - Ta-Nehisi Coates

I'm not gonna hammer anyone over the head about this, but I will occasionally reshare this due to our both long- and short-term institutional memory loss. Take care in your work today!

the US government is so hostile to immigrants and Palestine activism that they’re snatching students off campuses and deporting them—while radicalized white men like FSU shooter Phoenix Ikner, the son of a cop who used her gun, espouse Nazi ideology and ridicule protesters before killing. my latest

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Israel will murder any Palestinian that speaks up, because killing a Palestinian is just one of millions harmed, starved, maimed, murdered - but letting Palestinians speak will tear down Israels' ability to commit apartheid and genocide. deadline.com/2025/04/gaza...

Some actual really good video game industry news. Game Informer is back and so many people have been rehired!

Game Informer is back with new reviews on the website and a physical magazine returning later this year. It was purchased by Gunzilla Games but will operate as a separate independent entity. The best part is that everyone who GameStop laid off last summer is back now. Incredible!
