Three Wins Today, March 21, 2025

Take a deep breath in.

And out.

Slowing down our body and mind for a second is so important, so I hope that helped.

Here are three of today’s wins.

1. Video game workers have formed the first industry-wide North American union. It’s under the Communications Workers of America and is called United Videogame Workers, or, UVW-CWA. In their press release, Tom Smith, CWA’s director of organizing said:

   The creation of this union was not done in isolation; it’s a cumulative effort by the thousands of video game workers who have been fighting for years to redefine what it means to stand together and reclaim power in one of the largest and highest-grossing industries on the globe. These workers are taking a bold stand, joining together to build power for the workers behind the games we all know and love.”

   This is absolutely the kind of good news we need to celebrate. When unions are strong, America is strong. And, even though America isn’t so strong right now, another union makes it stronger.

2. A few days ago I included Jackie Robinson’s military history web page being restored as a win. Well, his wasn’t the only one. The Pentagon restored the webpages for the Tuskegee Airmen, the Navajo code talkers, Vietnam-era Medal of Honor recipient Maj. Gen. Charles Calvin Rogers, and the Japanese American 442nd Combat Regiment.
   

   If one of these people or groups doesn’t sound familiar, now is a great time to research them and learn about these incredible heroes. For the Navajo Code Talkers, I highly recommend a book I read in Middle School “Code Talker”, which you can find not from Amazon, on the Western National Parks Association website. If you have any other suggestions for books on these subjects, leave them in the comments.

   
   The most important thing to remember is that outrage works. The louder we are, the less likely their horrific decision will stick.

3. Republican representitive Young Kim (CA-40) wrote an op-ed in the Conservative, anti DT, publication, The National Review. She said that the US Agency for Global Media must be restored.

   We cannot forget the original purpose of these programs: to promote freedom and America’s national security interests. Today’s threats are not confined to land, sea, air, space, and cyberspace. We are in an information war. If the truth is not broadcast around the world, we are losing, and propaganda and disinformation by our adversaries fill the void.

   If I didn’t know who wrote this, I’d think it was a Dem. That said, her voting record hasn’t changed, yet, at least.

   
   But, we have to nurture every crack, and this is, without a doubt, a crack that, with some nurturing, could turn into a chasm.
