I'm looking for recommendations for someone who can help me with a board game IP question and possibly a contract. Gimme your recs!

Trump admits that this is nothing but political retribution. Minnesota voted against him three times and now he’s punishing us – putting lives at risk and wasting enormous resources in the process.

Don't bother arguing about whether ICE is a police force or a military force. It's neither. It behaves as a disorganized, violent mob, cursing, shouting contradictory orders, and attacking unarmed citizens on a whim. It is deployed to create fear and chaos, not to enforce laws or establish order.

This is Minneapolis: Walk into my neighborhood ACE last night & see the signage on their door notifying fed agents that it’s private property and cannot be used for immigration enforcement. These signs are all over the city. Walk in & the nearest shelf has goggles & whistles.

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

"Here are the demands we all need to make: Use the National Guard to protect our citizens. Arrest agents who commit crimes. Charge police, National Guard, and ICE with crimes when they commit or refuse to stop them. . . . Do it now." cmarmitage.substack.com/p/my-first-7...

Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

There’s a bitter irony in these headlines.

👏 👏 NYC turning up, standing up and showing up to say No Kings No War No ICE 🚫👑🧊 @riseandresist.bsky.social @socialists.nyc @handsoffnyc.bsky.social @50501newyork.bsky.social @indivisible.org @targetmajoritynyc.bsky.social @climatefamsnyc.bsky.social @ourtimefornyc.bsky.social @nywfp.bsky.social

TAPPER: Does your rhetoric need to change? FREY: I said this was a federal agent recklessly using power that ended up in somebody dying because that was a federal agent recklessly using power that ended up in somebody dying. I got two eyes.

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

Protesters target hotel alleged to be hosting ICE agents. "Masked demonstrators... stormed the Canopy Hotel, with hundreds massed outside, to vent their rage over [Renee] Good’s death on January 7. Swarms of protesters shattered windows and chanted ‘f**k ICE’..." www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

New York City turned OUT. @handsoffnyc.bsky.social ✊❤️

From grief to movement—Portland is transforming sorrow into strength. Every chant and every step says: no more ICE raids, no more stolen lives. #ICEOutForGood

DAVE MATTHEWS: “I don’t want my taxes to pay for masked thugs to roam our streets & terrorize our communities... She was trying to get away. He shot her 3x in the head. Murdered in cold blood. They’re trying to tell us not to believe what we see. FUCK ICE.” (H/T @marcofoster.bsky.social )

Reps. Khanna & Massie to ask judges for official to oversee release of Epstein files. "'...we’re now going to be intervening with the Southern District of New York to ask those judges to appoint a special master and ensure that all the documents are released.’" www.commondreams.org/news/khanna-...

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

ICE THUGS arrested a pastor & kept asking him "Are you afraid?" numerous occasions. The pastor said NO. Eventually the THUGS let him go stating that "You're WHITE, you're no fun to us!!" This is how sick & deranged these THUGS are, thanks to this REGIME‼️ youtu.be/lcSOyVrc5HM?...

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

The utter disorganization, incompetence, ill discipline, and lack of training here is staggering. Being there at all is deliberate provocation. They're not protecting anything. ICE could lie low, or leave entirely. But no, they want to incite a violent response to justify further violence.

This weekend, people across the country will take to the streets as part of ICE OUT for GOOD. If we're afraid, we need to remember that we stand on the shoulders giants. In moments like these, we need to think of the way we frame our conversations

This week: we execute a U.S. citizen. Next week: we take over elections to stop “fraud.” It's so transparent what's going on here.

Political cartoonists are not fuckin’ around this week. (thread) 1. Pat Bagley

Question for legal minds...if ICE agents refuse to provide identification, doesn't that make it legal for citizens to act out in defense? We dont know who they really are. They refuse to provide identification. Fighting back seems beyond legal to me.

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

All set up at @orcacon.bsky.social to demo @popcatsfighter.bsky.social! We’ll be here until 4pm if you are interested!

ICE only has about 20-30,000 employees nationwide. Including desk jobs so there's even fewer armed. It's smaller than the NYPD. There's a reason they do their mega raids on one or two cities at a time, and it's not optics. It's because that's all the dudes they've got. Something to keep in mind.

The number of Gestapo in Germany was 32,000. The population was 70 million. That's one Gestapo for every 2200 citizens. The number of ICE agents is 20,000. The population of the US is 348 million. That's one ICE agent for every 17,000 citizens. There are more of us.

Applying to ALL THE JOBS wheeeeee 😅

“Fuck ICE!” chants & a brass band performing “Which side are you on?” as hundreds march in Manhattan, NYC against ICE and in solidarity with Minneapolis.

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

Rep. Suozzi Confronts Deplorable Jan 6 Rioters, Minneapolis Mayor Tells ICE To “Get The F**k Out,” and Rep. Kelly Leads Charge To Impeach Kristi Noem

Today marks 15 years since Gabby Giffords was shot at a constituent meeting, in an attack that killed 6 and wounded 13. I am proud to cosponsor a bipartisan, bicameral resolution to honor the victims and their families today, and recommit to ending gun and political violence.

Oh my gosh you guys! The House just passed my bill to extend the health care tax credits for three more years!

I invite all Americans to join Minnesota in a day of unity tomorrow.

Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.

running for office is fun because you learn cool stuff about yourself like how your boyfriend who runs a comedy website is a billionaire and you don’t actually live in rogers park despite living in rogers park and your mom is an oil baroness or something and

Mayor Jacob Frey: "They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit."

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

There’s a video of ICE shooting a woman in the head. What else do you need to see?

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

Does anyone know the formula for probability of drawing all the same card/all different cards in a deck that has x copies each of y cards? Example: there are 10 copies each of 8 card types. What is the probability of drawing one of each card in your first 8 draws? How about all the same card? 🎲✂️

Unconstitutional force. Civilians dead. Congress bypassed. Oil interests front and center. We’ve seen this movie before and it ends in blood. But we don’t have to do it again.

Does anyone know of Rummy or Rummikub-esque games that have higher player interaction/chaos? The vibe of these games is often pretty solitary/chill, even when you can interact with other people's sets.
