A few of these in my area:

Presidents? SCOTUS gives them immunity. Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute. Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections. But if you look Latino, speak Spanish, or work at a low wage job, SCOTUS says you can be abducted by masked agents. The legacy of the Roberts court.

good to see

I cannot emphasize enough that this administration shouldn’t get 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘷𝘰𝘵𝘦 from the Dems until they start obeying the law. Not. One. Optics matter: if you want people to turn out next election despite troops in the streets, then show them it matters. Do your goddamn jobs and hold the line.

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later. harpers.org/archive/1941...

Funny and topical. Spot on.

About time a Dem said it

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Trump admin is pathetic and indistinguishable from internet trolls

Ninja Training Manuals have arrived. (Plus the other kickstarter goodies.) Thanks to @ninjaborg.com

In the 2010s, this country's elites were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else and could finally read what we all think about them and it caused them so much psychic damage that they decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it ever happened again.

check this project! Need's some more funding. Here's some of the art I did for it, and if it funds, I get to make more!

We told you what was coming when conspiracy theory becomes the basis for “law” & “policy” views Now here we are, with utter irrationality blended with applications of state violence, teetering on the edge of the end of all the things we know and count on Americans have no idea how bad it will get

Had fun with a Saturday Starfinder session. The party is on Absalom Station investigating, leading us to a showdown with a dragon. #paizo Also had a game of Great War Commander with my neighbor. #hexasim #ttrpg #consim #wargame

(See if I can post a TikTok...) Give this guy a listen www.tiktok.com/@adhil_akhi/...

Best written article about this week’s events.

What is your weekend plans? I have Starfinder Saturday and Great War Commander on Sunday. And then the grocery shopping at some point. Maybe read more of my Paint The Town Red book. #ttrpg

“Brazil nearly went back to being a dictatorship that lasted 20 years because a criminal organization made up of a political group doesn’t know how to lose elections.”

I'll be on PBS Newshour tonight discussing the slow civil war. To what I had the opportunity to say, I'd add that this isn't a "both sides" moment, because to MAGA there is only MAGA & enemies of MAGA. Even if the shooter turns out to be, say, a Groyper, that worldview is MAGA or enemy,.

I have received my Paint The Town Red Kickstarter from @soulmuppet.co.uk It is a superb book and the two adv handouts are bloody good. Thank you. #ttrpg #OSR

Whether it’s Republican politicians joking about the murder of Melissa Hortman or Democratic politicians expressing their condolences after the murder of Charlie Kirk, both parties have a extreme rhetoric problem.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

violence is all they got

I hope it’s still worth it to Charlie Kirk’s family.

Industry. As in there is a lot of money to be made.

Little League coaches, neighbors, pedestrians using cell phones to record ICE arrests put themselves at risk every day to fight fascism. Meanwhile, powerful billionaires grovel and debase themselves so the mad king might exempt them as he ruins the rest of the country.

All of this

Worth noting that the Smithsonian has 21 museums. 21! But Trump is focused on just one of them: the African American History & Culture Museum because it focuses on Black history AND celebrates Black accomplishments. It's an amazing place that this racist president seeks to diminish, if not destroy.

Fascists don’t want elections

The only one dumber than Trump is everyone that believes him.

After 20 years, DRAGONSHARD — an RTS set in #Eberron — has been rereleased on Steam. I wasn’t involved in this rerelease and don’t know anything about how (or if) it differs from the original, but if you want to fight a beholder with a squad of warforged titans, now you can! youtu.be/CIX_uECQ-z8
