the president using the office to punish americans that didnt vote for him should really be one of the biggest scandals in americas history

Don Moynihan @donmoyn.bsky.social · 8h

Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts.
We all complain about the media, but need this type of in-depth journalism.

This is a blatant violation of 1A rights.

ICE officers rushed out onto the public sidewalk, grabbed Robby (in giraffe costume), physically dragged him onto ICE property, and then charged him with trespassing.

It is all caught on video in Robby's post below.

Oops! I accidentally sent this essay a day early, the second in my series about books in ttrpgs and how we play with them.

When and why do we call our games "books"? What terms do we use for our books and why?

How do we talk about TTRPG Books?

An essay on how we talk about ttrpg books, plus how book design invites bookplay.

PSA: if your only understanding of "being a person of color" is a genealogy test you are literally using a dangerous white supremacist eugenicist model of racialization.

STOP IT.
Community and experiences matter.
Fucking do better. There are so many better things to do with your time and privilege!
