Ed Smith, one of the first African Americans to work in video games, has published an autobiography! We're adding this immediately to our library, and you should too. Let's support capturing more black voices in our video game history canon: amazon.com/Imagine-That-Amerโฆ

How many gamers know a black inventor was behind the very first video game cartridge? Designer Gerald Lawson created the Fairchild Channel F. He pioneered using consoles to play an endless number of games, a pillar of the video game industry to this day.

It is very, very disappointing that at such a transformational moment, we are reverting to reform after reform after reform, even as a multiracial coalition across the country is demanding to defund the police

Love that this is happening more and more.
make sure to stay there and form a line in front of the restaurant and not let replacement workers in.
hopefully folks see this and come help you hold that line.

Right now: Employees at Northstar walking out. This after the staff wanted to suspend their 50% discount for law enforcement. However, Northstar didnโt suspend the discount. The restaurant says, โWe support our first responders and also support the movement for social change.โ

Out of the millions protesting and the 10s of millions to hundreds of millions supporting them, we can find enough people that are down to to this in a big way
we have to start communicating w co-workers 1st
for places that have never organized, this is a great jump off point

A week of protests and rebellions in most cities and hundreds of small towns and suburbs has still not gotten the other 3 Minneapolis cops charged.
In order to make power suffer consequences- lose profit- until they meet demands
we have to start strikes/work stoppages.

Police unions defend state violence rather than support the interests of workers. They give police false credibility as laborersโand hide their true roles as enforcers of capitalism, racism, and other forms of exploitation. #BlackLivesMatter #1u

Breonna Taylor shouldโve turned 27 today but she was murdered in her sleep in her own home. This is why we march, this is why we protest. Rest In Peace Breonna, we will never stop fighting for you or all the lives taken by police brutality. #breonnataylor #blacklivesmatter
