OPINION: The Secret Plot to Take the Election Out of Voters’ Hands - MAGA activists are now openly discussing manufacturing a national emergency to justify Trump’s agents in the federal government to interfere in this November’s elections, The Washington Post reported. - READ: https://bit.ly/4tXZwfR

Finally found what I've been lacking.

Before launching his Substack, all Steve Sack had to do was re-teach himself how to draw using his left hand.

Come game away, come game away, come game away with me! I'm excited that Gamicon 2026 is a week away. Join us at tabletop.events/conventions/.... I'm planning to facilitate indie ttrpgs through our Corridor Games on Demand group (www.facebook.com/CorridorGoD) with old and new friends.

UPDATE: @abolitionistfaa respond to video of Kanew talking to @gavinnewsom saying it’s “blatantly false” to say the Barrett/Pody bill they’re taking credit for means women who get abortions could faced the death penalty. The gaslighting is real. Below is their leadership 👇🏽

Gutting the aspects of education/learning that help people participate and express the humanity in life is not by accident.

Here is @aoc.bsky.social thankfully telling everyone exactly what to do to stop a concentration camp from being built where you live. Please take it to heart and take action.

These are the same people trying to keep us from teaching ‘divisive concepts’ like the afterlife of slavery.

We can't wait for 24 more episodes of Reading Rainbow with Mychal the Librarian!! 🌈

“None of the deportees are Cameroonian citizens. And almost all had received protection from American courts, which banned the government from sending them back to their home countries, where they would most likely face persecution, according to government documents obtained by The Times…”

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

If researching alternatives to Discord is of interest, take a look here for some options. write.ellipsus.com/edit/5c78554...

This is why we need fully funded scientific research.

ai guys???? they wanted to do stuff with ai that was too much for AI GUYS???????

"I’ve wanted Marc Elias to be wrong for seven years, or six years, for as long as he’s been coming on my show. I have wanted his warnings to be wrong, but every single one of them has been either affirmed or prescient."--Nicolle Wallace. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/its-...

I started to make a document to list some alternatives for Discord that I’ll keep updating. It’s not necesserily to invite everyone to jump out but it’s good to know that they exist. write.ellipsus.com/edit/5c78554... Keep bothering Discord and inform yourselves.

If we don't speak up together now we will be shut away and silenced later.

My plan for dramatic democratic reform includes: - SCOTUS expansion - DC statehood - PR settlement of status - Codify DOJ independence - Constitutional amendment(s) to reverse SCOTUS decisions, abolish Electoral College, restrict presidential pardon power

Urge your reps to ban Surveillance Pricing and boycott any business that uses it. If it’s allowed to take root, you will be robbed for the rest of your lives.

Checking out Glatisant, published by Graftbound Press. Interesting card-based two-player tabletop roleplaying game. Another variation on the grid of playing cards. More about this at Skeleton Code Machine on Tuesday: www.skeletoncodemachine.com #ttrpg #solorpg #gamedesign

Not great! (From @jennycohn.bsky.social )

dei is good for business, and also the framing of this has always been fucking stupid, costco didn't "defy" a directive, target and walmart needlessly heeded it

WATCH — @gomez.house.gov interviews Rep. @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social : “I think 🇺🇸 has been lied to about who these people are in ICE detention. That stereotype has so consumed what we think of immigrants that we’ll put a 5-year-old kid who’s done nothing wrong in prison.”

When I read stories like this one, I like to imagine how MAGA would have reacted to the FBI and DHS opening up investigations on folks who were flying "F Joe Biden!" flags or people who purchased Hillary, Biden or Harris shooting targets...they're still selling them, by the way. 🎁🔗

Swalwell: ICE agents shot Alex Pretti and Renee Good. And the only person in the world who has been held accountable by DHS is the pilot who somehow forgot to move Kristi Noem’s blankie.

The bill “is not about protecting our elections,” the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund says. “It’s about disguising voter suppression.” capitalbnews.org/save-act-vot...

was honored to go on OnPoint today to talk about AI-powered surveillance: www.wbur.org/onpoint/2026...

The FBI Fulton County raid came as no surprise. What was surprising was who led the initiative: U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri Thomas Albus. And there is all the reason to believe the federal prosecutor will use his power to interfere with the upcoming elections.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

More footage from a Jan. 15 protest against ICE at the Whipple Building shows federal agents using force against protesters, including agent EZ-17 from the BorTac unit of the Border Patrol firing tear gas at head level at someone from a short distance while other agents record video & take pictures.

WATCH: “How many people with domestic violence convictions are running around, with guns, in our cities, terrorizing people?” Journalist @laurajedeed.bsky.social was hired as an ICE officer after a 6 minute interview, despite not having completed a background check.

If you want a break from the chaos, here's a quiz. www.commonsense.org/games/two-tr...

I have been a huge #SWoM fan for a decade now. I remember chasing down Eppy to play some early versions at Gencon and Metatopia back in the day, and being able to get a standalone copy is a real treat. It's a game that stretches my creative muscles, and helps me be a better player.

This is AMAZING. Free link further down.

Just so much BS that this planet has to put up with. Tech is out of control.

My partner and I finished watching The Good Place yesterday. What should we watch next?
