We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights. There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us. This is my favorite guide.

Only thing I can do from so far from MN is provide donation thru their mutual aid orgs, lots of good ones here: www.standwithminnesota.com

minnesotan here - wanna say that i myself can get sucked into the thinking the only way to help is visible opposition in the streets. but there are so many families here that are hurting and scared. plz donate funds/goods of need to orgs caring for families that can’t leave their homes right now

Walz just said "be peaceful, speak out, bear witness and document legally." Oh you mean the literal thing that just got a person shot 5 times, which is why you're on this podium? Dipshit.

TTRPG friends, Matt, our friend and community member @nurdrocks.bsky.social has been taken by ICE while his back was turned, peacefully protesting. Matt is the founder of Justice Frontline Aid that provides aid & education in the MN community. I've linked the video footage below. Do not stay silent.

i do genuinely think we need to jail every single person currently working for ICE

Six months ago congress passed a $170 billion increase in immigration funding, representing a 350% increase in the ICE budget. That money has been used to invade cities, kidnap children, kill mothers, and cut medical care for detainees. This did not move Dems enough to reject even more ICE funding.

They should and also these fuckers refuse to do anything like this for Fascist Israel

ICE and CBP agents need to understand they're going to be wearing those masks for the rest of their lives.

this is why you still pursue justice after all this time. That shame didn't fuckin go anywhere.

This is essentially what governments did in the late 1900s and early 2000s with respect to Nazis. Whether you were a lowly concentration camp guard or in Hitler's inner circle, if there was evidence you were a Nazi, it was straight to jail with your walker. It worked.

I need at least 3 more folk to sign up for my Edinburgh Adult Education Programme archaeology classes at Craigentinny, or the course will be cancelled. If you know anyone who might be interested, please let them know. Thank you! adulteducationedinburgh.spydus.co.uk/cgi-bin/spyd...

I've seen people say "it's basically the same as the old one, what's the big deal?" 1) they're now also tracking geo-location data and 2) it's owned by one of Trump's best buds The app has fundamentally changed and thus isn't safe

Germany grants citizenship to Jewish residents who were persecuted between 1936-45, who were denied citizenship for various reasons. Bring them home and grant them a US citizenship. That's the start of the conversation -- basic reparations and human rights.

Yikes, definitely disagree! - I discover new things while browsing & my imagination gets excited flipping past different worlds. - Give a book as a gift if you know them well and it fits! - That's what the bookshelves in every other room are for! But also - funky art books? SF/F? Front & center.

In late 1930s Leipzig, my grandfather's brother was a young kid. The Gestapo came round his father's tailor shop and audited him - there were already big restrictions on what Jews could own and do. His young son innocently asked why he forgot to say anything about the other storage cellar.

I went to ICE rapid response training today, organized by my wonderful city council member @hugoforcd13.bsky.social. I strongly recommend finding a group to join in your area. We keep us safe.

"they're poorly trained" Primary your democrat congress people. Do it now!

80 people have signed up to be notified when the crowdfunder for Lie To Him launches - which means they won't miss out on 10% off all tiers for the first 24 hours. Can we get to 100 followers before the launch?

Should the kalaallit / Inuit people be ruled by Denmark? No. Would the US conquest of Greenland improve matters for them or anyone else? Absolutely not. On the contrary. Should we engage in worldwide struggle against all forms of colonialism and imperialism? Yes, with tremendous urgency.

You cannot overstate how startling it is to see a politician just say the thing with clarity and poise. No fearful hemming. No overwrought qualifying down til it’s meaningless. No lingering sense that there is a loyalty to a donor class or an ideology of stasis that they’d never admit to.

of the moral conundrums you will be presented with, as an adult, "stop buying these specific children's toys" is like. the easiest possible

If it's okay, I want to comment on exactly one dimension of the recent Rascal story about Yazeba's B&B, Possum Creek Games, Jay Dragon (note: a friend), and leaving vital contributors in the lurch: I hate the warping impact that boom-or-bust product launch crowdfunding has on the TTRPG industry.

Come on folks! Don't not smash your fingers with the hammer! In fact, you should demand to hold the hammer because it's coming for everyone's fingers whether you like it or not - that's inevitable!

In 2025 we raised ~$300 to fund a new website which remains unspent. As our final act upon this material plane, we will be using that money to award 6x $50 USD micro grants to ttrpg designers or content creators that could use a small boost.

In any incident where your faith in an artist is broken and you are looking to support another, particularly victims of the harm said artist had perpetuated: consider buying their work, sending them money. A simple follow on their social media isn't going to cut it. And don't forget them either.

Hey plz dont distribute paywalled rascal articles via google docs?? Please?????? Dont??????

Plucking nose hairs preferable to reading news

I don’t buy the “Oh so NOW they care because a white woman was killed” narrative at all. I see an engaged, activist American pubic which has made the links between different movements & injustices and which has also improved speed & tactics as it’s watched & learned from each city’s response

i'm so proud of us!!! we have ONE WEEK LEFT before the full launch of the website mothership.blog, which means only one week left of our pre-launch sale (15% off your subscription for life). go over to that URL to find out what the website is all about and see if you're into it <3

Today's your LAST CHANCE!

in the plus side, watching the president of the United States destroy the entire geopolitical order because he didn't get a shiny award has successfully cured all my hangups about subtle character motivation in writing

The Anti-Coercion Instrument has never been used. It was built for China. As of Sunday, the EU is actively considering firing it at us because Trump is a mad king. New post breaking down what the ACI does and how the trade war hits your medications and your 401(k). www.patreon.com/posts/148558...

As a side note to this thread, one other thing I've seen over and over is how violence becomes normalised and loses its ability to gain traction in discourse.

"Abolish ICE" is moderate. It's a start to curing the rot in the heart of the country.

Anyone who works to enable ICE's bullshit must be prosecuted to the absolute fullest extent of the law. There isn't a single agent, employee, operational vendor, etc who deserves peace for the rest of their pathetic and hateful little lives.

I’ve started using the term “ethnic cleansing campaign” to describe the ICE occupation here in Minnesota. This is deliberate because the reality on the ground is that, at a given moment, any non-white person can be kidnapped by masked federal paramilitaries regardless of their constitutional rights.
