Here’s my breakdown of EA’s pending sale… to Saudi Arabia… and why this is much, much bigger than video games. I’m late to this from a ‘news’ perspective obviously, but it’s because I worked on this video for about a month. youtu.be/yOzFyrRH_sw

Thank you to everyone who spoke to me for this piece. Its a harder topic to talk about than you think, scary too for some people.

I believe this 1000% now and I was a skeptic for a long time.

I don’t often watch my friends’s YouTube videos (personal rule; I like seeing friends as friends, not “content creators I’m friends with”) but I was curious. This is fantastic work by Alanah, and is the first time I’ve seen anyone paint a complete picture of the players in EA’s imminent purchase.

“The regime wants all of us afraid. It is counting on fear immobilizing us and perhaps even turning us against each other. Instead, what we are currently seeing in Chicago is that solidarity can overcome fear and can give people the courage and tenacity to fight for each other.” --Mariame Kaba

ICE is retaliating against Oak Park right now, where most of the moms who were arrested for protesting at Broadview yesterday are from. This is my sister, who's on the ground. ABOLISH ICE. www.instagram.com/reel/DQzuhMO...

Trump: "They're gonna make DC a state and they're gonna make Puerto Rico a state. So now they pick up two states, four senators. They're gonna pick up electoral votes. It's gonna be a very, very bad situation. Now, if we do what I'm saying, they'll most likely never obtain power."

Too many of these election roundups are omitting Mary's landslide victory. Fortunately, Chicago sees Detroit (and always has):

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

Remember when Melinda French divorced Bill Gates immediately when there were rumors that he was on the Epstein list? Despite running a multimillion dollar charity with him and having children together? Any of them could have done this. Hillary. Melania. Usha. They all have agency.

ICE is setting up a national call center to handle thousands of calls a day, focused on finding children. This is for 287(g) agencies, those hundreds of local police departments etc around the country that explicitly work with ICE to detain people. 287(g) next phase of mass deportation

i hope this election cycle empowers everyone the next time a centrist liberal says to drop pro-trans and pro-immigrant rhetoric to enthusiastically tell them to shut the fuck up

If you’re wondering what the future of the Democratic Party looks like, watch the young, brown democratic socialist on the TV right now.

*stares in Black*

I’m going to keep mentioning how heavily people leaned on the “actually, poor Black people don’t go to elite schools, we need more investment at the community level” argument when affirmative action was before the court, and how fucking silent they are now.

This is NECESSARY

We have it fundamentally all wrong. We're not polarized. Instead, our media environment manufactures polarization by framing everything as outrage to gain attention. Most people aren't bigoted. Instead, the "influencers" we follow narrates political phenomena in ways that produce bigotry.

(4) Trump and the Republicans don't have an advantage over Democrats because they *better understand heartland Americans.* They have an advantage over Democrats because they created their own universe of propaganda outlets, and then went out and bought all the mainstream outlets. Duh.

With SNAP/EBT cuts looming I highly recommend downloading this app! Basically restaurants and other food businesses will have available bags of random food they don’t wanna waste for ppl to buy for hella cheap! This has saved me sooooo many times when I only have $5 and need some food.

Would love some support on a Thoughtful Play I just put up for @intelligame.us ! Likes, comments? Subscribes? 🔔? 😅 Started checking out @somethingclassic.bsky.social 's Quartet the other day, and loving the Final Fantasy VI vibes. Great soundtrack, compelling writing, and PEOPLE OF COLOR TOO

Sorry for being gauche but if you want to get invested in media about witches that isn’t racist garbage that enables a transphobe, check out a game made by a majority of trans people including yours truly. Bonus it helps fund my hopeful escape from this hell.

So, anyone else notice Discord AutoMod's been on one lately? It auto-blocked a long time member's incredibly thoughtful, I-have-no-idea-how-this-possibly-could-look-like-spam post. And I can find NO WAY of unblocking/permitting the post

Resources like these need to be WAY better known! @dominictarason.com 's been a consistent source for great recommendations, so excited to dive in (also maybe I just live in a hole and didn't know, but yeah check this out)

Catherine Connolly, the independent socialist, is President-Elect. Yet again, Ireland bucks the trend of liberal democracies falling to far right nihilism. Here is who she is - Connolly supports the LGBTQ community & People with Disabilities, Carers & a United Ireland. #Aras25 #SpeirGhorm

In video provided exclusively to MSNBC's The Weekend: Primetime, immigration agents are seen attempting to pull a man out a window of a Chicago home. Agents also jumped a fence into the locked backyard and manhandled people doing work. Hear from the homeowner tonight on The Weekend: Primetime.

So we've been trained to sabotage our own movements from within and it worked on all of us I'm afraid! ESPECIALLY if you're marginalized. But here's how to stop it. Save these. These go in your phone now. REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE.

Republicans have strung their constituents on for yeaaaaaaaaars with bullshit concern over the debt. They never ever ever cared about it.

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

Big day at Essen today - I'm told there's somehow more people on Saturday! Starting off with playtesting / signing at the Synapses booth (Hall 2, E610) from 10:30 to 12:30. Then, I'll be doing signings of the French version of Compile at the Geek Attitude Games booth (Hall 3, R215) from 2 to 3:30.

I've seen almost no other coverage of this. Trump is sending the FBI to the homes of protestors, ostensibly to find out who is funding and organizing the protests, but obviously also to intimidate people into not protesting anymore. We really should be talking about this more.

"Forgive me, but how in the world is this not on the front page of every American newspaper, leading every cable news show, and right smack dab in the middle of every legacy media homepage? Why are we, at Zeteo, the only folks leading with this insane story?" zeteo.com/p/trump-ille...

time to get your submissions in, folks!!

I got a game coming out in the next 1-3 months. Our core team is just 2 folks. It's dope, you can play the demo. And you can help us by wishlisting. Ty ✌🏼

I can't really explain fully why this is the thing of all things that got my jaw on the floor but I guess it's such a literal symbol and also such a jaw dropping amount of money while small businesses are struggling to survive the tariffs Such a visible "go fuck yourself"

1. ICE has sharply increased its spending on weapons in 2025, according to an analysis of federal gov't data by Popular Information. Records reveal ICE has increased spending on “small arms" — a category that includes guns, armor, chemical weapons, and explosives — by 700% compared to 2024 levels

Still the greatest endorsement of all time
