Here Where We Live is Our Country Book — Molly Crabapple The dramatic story of the Jewish Bund—a revolutionary movement from a vanished world—and its radical vision of solidarity in an age of division.

And that's the history of so many of our people.

This seems like a really great read that I want to read ASAP

Kansas Orders Trans Drivers to Surrender Licenses With One Day’s Notice Trans people affected are required to replace their state identification at their own expense.

As a Jewish person, I’m not exaggerating that the far right want nothing more than absolute humiliation, dehumanizing, and death to all trans people.

This all-too-familiar sight is happening right in front of our eyes—and I’m not seeing nearly enough decrying and anger to feel remotely comfortable.

What hurts the most is the other Jewish people who aren't willing to stand against this. And even worse, the people who support...

Big ditto here.

Saying "Indies are the future, AAA doesn't matter" doesn't acknowledge the many ways indie can also be unsustainable/exploitative--and it doesn't respect the craft of AAA devs! So many cool people making incredibly cool things that couldn't exist otherwise!!
Solidarity is important.

My fear of mystery fish saved me

This meme also annoys me because “I want smaller, cheaper games” = cutting labor, the most expensive part of gamedev.
Which is, you know, the whole problem with the industry right now.

The Future of These Game Developers Rests on a Visa Application A small indie group from New York, a mixture of creatives from China and the United States, need the U.S. government to believe they should stay here.

For @remapradio.bsky.social, a story about a group of Chinese game developers who came to me with a unique pitch: if you write about us, it might help us stay in the country. What is home? My piece on the current intersection of immigration policy and video games: remapradio.com/articles/the...

Elon Musk is claiming he’s risked everything to protect kids from sexual abuse mere weeks out from laughing while his AI chatbot was generating nearly 8,000 sexual abuse images per hour that overwhelmingly targeted girls and young women

There is a billionaire class who thinks the law is above them. There are people of all races and religions in these files, and their class is the one connecting factor.

They benefit from the antisemitism and racism, because the infighting is a distraction and gives them strength.

Jew in Amsterdam here. Please use Anne Frank as a comparison point to explain how state persecution of scapegoats impacts children, that is the point of her example, thanks

Boy yes it is

If you're in New York, please take two minutes right now to call Governor Hochul and tell her to support and sign New York 4 All, which would prevent state and local agencies from collaborating with ICE.

This is important.

Let me know how it is

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

‘The Interview’: Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat The Senate minority leader discusses the backlash to his vote on the Republican spending bill, how he sees his role within the party and his new book.

In this interview Schumer says he agrees with Trump’s decision to pull $400 million from Columbia. A university in his own state. And he’s unconcerned about the unlawful arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, one of his constituents.

He is a traitor who needs to resign.

I get really irked when I see people post “indies will save us” or “the laid off devs should go indie” THERE IS NO MONEY publishers are cancelling contracts, angel investors/venture capital don’t want small returns. I think they mean hobbyists with a day job working doubletime & that is a rough ask

NYU Langone is canceling gender-affirming care appointments of trans patients under 19

Email and call Dr. Robert Grossman, the CEO of NYU Langone Health, and demand that they resume care for trans youth. 📩 robert.grossman@nyulangone.org 📞 +1 (212) 263-3269 Call from 9 AM-5 PM ET on weekdays. Ask for the CEO’s office. Leave a message.

Hello, my name is [Name], and I’m a concerned [patient/parent/trans person/ally/New Yorker]. I’m calling about NYU Langone’s reported cancellation of gender-affirming care appointments for trans patients under 19. This preemptive policy change, in response to an Executive Order that is not settled law, is harmful and cruel.

The American Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics, consider this essential care. Gender-affirming care is proven to be life-saving. A 2022 peer-reviewed study published by the AMA found that it reduces depression by 60% and suicidality by 73% among trans youth. Canceling these appointments puts the mental and physical health of trans youth at serious risk.

🏳️‍⚧️ NYU Langone is canceling gender-affirming care for trans youth under 19. This is harmful, likely illegal, & risks lives.

📞 Call +1 (212) 263-3269
✉️ Email robert.grossman@nyulangone.org

Demand they reinstate care now. Details: bit.ly/transyouthnyu

It's fucking pathetic, sad and enraging to see no one in the government stand up and fight for the trans citizens of America.
