Sounds like what a Nazi would say.

concentration camps.

From @newmadras.bsky.social; a look back on his work over the past year, and gives us a peek on the kind of work he wants to focus on in 2026.

Come listen to me getting increasingly drunk while I talk tabletop games and all sorts of other bollocks with @chasecarter.bsky.social and @lincodega.com

We're literally ONE member away from 2500 paid subscribers in 2025!! Will you be the one to help push us over the edge?

In Atlanta, where @bennjordan.bsky.social and I live, @atlpresscollective.com reported last month that the Atlanta Police Department may have used these Flock cameras to search for immigrants as early as March this year. atlpresscollective.com/2025/11/13/a....

The Rascals are hibernating, but we prepared our now-traditional end of year articles for you. Join us as we look back at 2025, and ponder the year ahead. First up, it's Caelyn!

New subscriptions to Rascal News will be rising by $1 in 2026. If you've been waiting to support us, we're currently running a holiday sale where the first two months of our entry tier is only $1/month! Independent journalism on the cheap? Yippee-Ki-Yay, Anklebiters!

We are seven subscribers away from 2500! And you can become a subscriber for just $1, right now. Go on, you know you want to!

Hey folks! Did you know that it's really easy to find games made by poc on itch.io? Just use the "poc made" tag! There you'll find your next fav TTRPG & support some great designers, new and old! If you're a designer, tag your games poc-made so they show up on the feed! itch.io/physical-gam...

Going to see family or friends for the holidays? Print out some “How to Report ICE” zines for their area! (I have handed out zines at family events, art openings, parties, on the street, etc. They are very well received.) drive.google.com/drive/folder...

My colleague @samanthamichaels.bsky.social hid out with an immigrant family in TN, where the onslaught of ICE officers has fundamentally reshaped daily life, drawing comparisons to 1930s Germany. “I thought they were gonna kick down the door and take me away.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Once again, I really could use the help. All I need is 300 dollars so I can pay off my Cellphone Bill and the internet bill for the month. I have many other things in the process to make income but I really need this by the 22nd before I get cut off. ko-fi.com/walleoruam/g...

I can't even fucking grieve the mass murder of Jews on the first night of hannukah because I just have to brace for the bullshit from antisemites AND Zionists. I won't put a menorah in the window not because I'm ashamed of being Jewish, but because I'm afraid people might think I support genocide.

Jewish zionists traded their soul for whiteness for European Jews, but as Israel is proving itself politically unreliable that whiteness is being revoked. The reward for compliance is not safety nor happiness, it is just complicity. Whiteness is built on antisemitism, we must abolish it to be free

i saw multiple people yelling at zohran mamdani about "globalize the intifada" (which he never said) under his post about bondi and i also saw multiple people mad about troye sivan specifically naming antisemitism in his post about bondi. does anyone even know what they're mad about anymore?

Israel has made Jews around the world infinitely more unsafe. Antisemitism is on the rise, and its insanity inducing to see leftists and neonazis agreeing that Jews are the problem in the wake of a mass shooting — when the core issue is Imperialism and settler colonialism.

I have posted my way to some pretty impressive victories. I have built amazing communities. I have raised a lot of money. I have found ways to help people in tiny ways and large. But like Greg says, I don't just post rage bait. I post practical shit & joy. Yelling at people is not organizing.

I love Christmas so much, which is the most Long Island Jew thing about me

This @plusoneexp.bsky.social interview with @rowanzeoli.bsky.social is SO GOOD. Talking about coops, critique in the game space, and so much more. I'm so sad I wasn't able to watch live cause I was running an AP at the time 🤣 The VOD is phenomenal though! www.twitch.tv/videos/26407...

Amidst Revolt!'s fantastical politcal arena, which are evocative and entertaining, is a missed opportunity to dig deeper into what follows a tyrant's fall.

ko-fi.com/walleoruam/g... Hey Guys, I know you're probably seeing a lot of these lately but if you can help me out it would be greatly appreciated.

There is no organization more worth supporting. I've been a member of their book club for 2-3 years and my shelves are crumbling under the weight of thoughtful socialist education

I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that Rascal is the most important source of tabletop news in the hobby. If you can afford to subscribe, I highly recommend you do! My upcoming big video draws HEAVILY on the work of Rascal journalists, and would be much worse without their reporting

My brilliant partner @fulmerford.com wrote a chilling work of short fiction on ICE in Chicago which you should absolutely read

I haven't written anything substantial in so long. It truly feels like the part of me that was a writer has been exiled from my brain, and there's a deeply shattering sense of self I have with that. But what is there to say right now? What can be said in the face of The Horrors that means anything.

I'm not exaggerating when I say following @boltsmag.org rn will unlock money for our journalism. A generous reader, @russ41.bsky.social, has offered to donate $1 for every 1-person increase to our follower count. If you're not following @boltsmag.org yet, it'll directly help fund our reporting!

A taste of what @newmadras.bsky.social has in store for you with this piece.

Soup drama, relationship drama: Road to Empress' success as a streaming game phenomenon tells us there's a lot of potential Hearts of Wulin lovers out there.

I really hope this is true, these sweeps are violent and cruel and ruin the lives of the most vulnerable people in our city

"If you ever think about me, and if you ain’t gonna do no revolutionary act, forget about me. I don’t want myself on your mind, if you’re not gonna work for the people." On this day in 1969, Fred Hampton was shot to death by Chicago, Cook County and federal police as he slept in his apartment.

As I start the process of legally getting my name changed, I decided I wanted to include my mothers maiden name, and for some reason it's making me very emotional. That name has worked to survive so much, and seeing the name I've chosen for myself and the one I was given alongside it, it feels new
