Today there was an attempted ICE raid in Bensonhurst & community members showed up. Even though NYPD collaborated with ICE by trying to disburse the crowd; community members stood their ground & ICE left without kidnapping a single person per the rapid response groups I'm on. We protect us!

Love me some labor history! Listen to @austinkelmore.com make the pitch for why we game workers should be organizing.
It's out! My chat with Callum Cant for the Notes From Below podcast was a lot of fun.
We talked through why we need to organize and unionize the video games industry, what that looks like in practice, and started by talking about the Rockstar situation.
