President Trump’s federal agents are now chasing migrant farm workers through fields — and circling them with a CBP chopper normally used to track smuggling at the border — in the heart of the nation’s agricultural economy. here’s my report from Ventura County, California.

Wow. Watch this from Zohran Mamdani. It looks like the exact "fight" and "conviction" people are hopelessly asking for from the people in charge of the Democratic party:

I’ve seen a few variations of this making the rounds. I like this one best. I don’t know who the original artist is but thank you to them.

Deep Blue is 30 years old and was capable of defeating chess grand champions. It could be housed in a single cabinet. ChatGPT spans untold data centers devouring massive amounts of electricity and it got its ass whipped by an 8 bit gaming console from the 1970s.

There's a certain level of escalation that needs to occur before things begin to change for the better. Sadly, it will come at a higher cost. Trump's decision to turn the active military against their own citizens is actually the sort of accelerant we need more of.

Stephen Miller—who's from the area and knows better—calls LA an "occupied city" as part of a ploy to justify a violent, fascist crackdown. Courtesy of Matt Snyder, this map of LA features a to-scale red dot indicating where the protests are. You'll have to zoom in and look hard.

Good morning. I have coffee. Work is underway. The cat has been fed and given love. Elsewhere, the American president deploys marines on American civilians. Reminds me of the National Guard gunning down union miners in Colorado in the early 1900s. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqfJ...

You know whose leaders call out the federal military against their own citizens? Authoritarian third-world shithole countries.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

Just to be clear: the President has mobilized the Marines on American soil because people are protesting masked, secret police kidnapping people with no due process and shipping them to foreign death camps. It’s not a misunderstanding or an oversight. That is all it is. There is no other side.

Protestors block ICE in Minneapolis

submitted 8 days ago • 8 comments

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

Minneapolis today….great to see communities come together for their neighbors when masked up ICE Nazis come to their towns….more of this everywhere when those thugs show up!

This is outrageous. A federal worker at our DC town hall talks about how employees are being asked to write letters stating their support for Trump. Our loyalty is to country not any particular president. As the woman said, “what the literal fuck.” open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

Something I have noticed - primarily with GMs who have only experience with 5e - is calling for rolls without a clear idea of the stakes and results. I think you should never roll unless you know what happens if it succeeds or fails, even if only vaguely. This is an extension of the OSR principal

Remembering Chevalière d'Éon for Pride. A transgender woman in the 1700s who was also a spy and who turned double agent, extorted an entire monarchy to get her gender marker changed, and lived her life as a woman in a time when such was thought impossible. We have always been here.

Hey fuck this. As if there's two sides of a coin or something? Nah. There's "demonize & misrepresent & lie about an already-vulnerable population who aren't harming anyone to try and score easy scare points" versus... just leave people alone? Just leave them alone, and condemn those that won't.

It's probably been about 20 years since I dabbled in the magic of mushrooms. But my dispensary has free BBQ and infused iced beverages on the 1st of every month. I opted for the shroom-infused beverage instead of the THC-infused option. At such a low dosage, it's a real gentle touch. 1/2
