All of us here at Revolutionary Games live in the US, where this week we have a holiday that is (ostensibly) centered on gratitude, so @jason.revolutionarygames.co takes some time to talk about gratitude and the things that we’re grateful for. www.patreon.com/posts/144221...

"But the boxed materials aren’t Molotov cocktails, pipe bombs, or whatever MAGA officials claim 'Antifa' uses to wage its imaginary war on America. As prosecutors laid out in the July criminal complaint that led to the indictment, they were zines and pamphlets." theintercept.com/2025/11/23/p...

The legal philosophy is serving capital interests. That’s all it’s ever been. Originalism, textualism, whatever—all of it is just bullshit justification for ad hoc decision-making in favor of insulating wealth and business from the reach of democracy.

Some salesmen came to my door trying to sell me one of these. When I told them crime was down, they were shocked and asked where I'd heard such a thing. I told them: the FBI. I told them that if I was forced to get one, I'd put tape over it. If I wasn't allowed, I'd plant a bush to block its view.

Seconded by me, another registered voter in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, since I hear that getting the votes of people like me is why we have to vote for scum like Newsom that I will never, ever vote for.

There is no more laughable assertion than, "People don't change." Changing — sometimes for better, sometimes for worse, but mostly for stranger — is literally the only thing any of us has ever done.

We weren’t meant to thrive in a fast paced work environment we were meant to collect berries in the summertime and lie down for a whole day after mistaking the bad orange mushroom for the good orange mushroom

S asked me this morning “if you get bitten by an artist, is that how you get to be an artist?” and honestly it’s as good a reason as any right?!

Every liberal democratic voter should see the way the Mamdani and Trump spoke and how Mamdani, never having to compromise his positions, was able to get Trump to agree with him. Thats what left-wing populism can do and it’s the direction the Democratic Party must go.

I’m an anarchist, so I have my issues with socialism (and they’re many of the same issues I have with capitalism and feudalism), but the magical quantum socialism of Scandinavia really gives the game away on how unserious these anti-socialist crusaders are.

“If every time that ICE strikes, they leave each community more mobilized, interconnected, and radicalized than before, we can use their efforts to eventually become capable of defeating them.”

Conspiracy thinking is a toxic mimic of critical thinking. People who aren’t good at critical thinking can easily mistake conspiracy theories for skepticism; after all, you’re questioning The System! But that’s not the same as trying to understand how the system works, as this article points out.

Thank you for voting against this performative, red-baiting nonsense, @repsummerlee.bsky.social

i said to a friend it was a slow news day and then had to remind myself the president called for the execution of congress members and it’s just crazy how his blood lust has become routine

In the span of 2 hours Leavitt said reporters should be “grateful” Trump insults them to their faces. Trump called for the execution of 6 Democratic members of Congress. The Coast Guard said it won’t consider swastikas, nooses & confederate flags hate symbols anymore. Things are unraveling fast.

This by the way is the reason I think the term "fiscal conservative" is bullshit. Because we know that literally every time we do UBI it's an economic multiplier, we know single payer healthcare is cheaper, fed folks are more productive. Spending that money IS the fiscally conservative approach.

Whistles are one of the most accessible tools in resisting ICE. Here’s how to use them:

Actually the question that occurs to me is "will you nominate him anyway even after years of people telling you they won't vote for him if you do, and then when you lose as you were warned you would, will you blame not yourselves but the people who warned you."

Why does feature development slow & what can we do about it? (This problem because acute with vibe coding.) tidyfirst.substack.com/p/why-does-d... tl;dr use the time between features to create options. What? You have no time between features? We'll talk about that later...

Who knew, when you treat all people with dignity and respect the outcomes are ten time better,. . Universal Basic Income, the time has come! Just say no to means testing, as it is counterproductive and needlessly expensive.

When I was planning this piece, there was a point I had in mind but then forgot to include in the actual article: why not just use the "secret blocks" that you see in a lot of TTRPG-focused wikis, like World Anvil or journals in Foundry VTT? 🧵 [1/9]

Trump's DOJ confirmed 97.4% of people ICE has been arresting in Chicago have no criminal record whatsoever. The state is using its power to terrorize a community. Worst of all, Chicago is not an isolated example and these abuses are not stopping at U.S. borders. www.qasimrashid.com/p/trumps-ice...

Greg Bovino is leading a rebel cavalry terrorizing America—and it's important to recognize that it's in retreat. While the trauma and terror Bovino’s raiders instill is real and damaging, it’s remarkable to note how ineffective the force has turned out to be. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/trump-bord...

Man, imagine trying to make weed illegal when it's, lowkey, probably one of the only things keeping some folks from tearing a pay day loan building down to the studs with their bare hands.

Look, for fuck’s sake, humans have been migrating continuously for our entire existence. Every single human in the world is the product of migration. It’s what humans do. There is nothing *more* human. That’s never going to change. Just grow up, get the fuck over it and plan accordingly.

Sooner or later, they come for us all.

If you find yourself saying "why are Labour like this? This isn't what I voted for!" You probably need to examine why many of us absolutely saw this coming and warned you this would be the case, and why you ignored those warnings.

Not Sure How They Deal With Criminals In Your Town, But ’Round Here We Use A Restorative Justice Process

This is an important story, even if that headline prompts an immediate, "Oh, NOW it takes a dark turn? Wasn't already dark enough at 'boat bombings'?"

Epstein was convicted in 2008. This dump of emails shows him *over a decade later* in constant communication with damn near everyone with any degree of power. There are emails from 2019, 11 years later, over decade later.

An important thing many corruption stories get wrong is that what's stolen isn't "taxpayer money" it's collective governance

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

“With immigration agents under intense pressure to deport thousands of people each day, Ms. Lopez was pushed through the system swiftly and was deported within four days of the factory raid. As a result, Jorge is now cared for by two siblings who are barely adults themselves.”

I can never hear or see something about the extreme right Proud Boys without remembering that "proud boy" is a term for a gelding that doesn't realize it's been neutered and keeps acting like a stallion. So do with that info what you will. *sips coffee*

I sometimes feel like they don’t want to end poverty or reduce inequality because they believe they’re entitled to a class of people they can prey upon

Oh, this is beautiful. He doesn’t understand that the only thing that has saved him these past 9y has been Dems’ loyalty to party leadership above all else and the threat of mutually assured destruction.

I just saw some dude on LinkedIn call Wikipedia editors Trotskyites. So the Wikipedia page of the day is Leon Trotsky. Because that was a real "you keep using that word" comment: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leon_Tr...
