Here's what DHS doesn't want you to know: Working for ICE is one of the safest jobs in America — and last year was the second-safest year for the agency on record.

And the doxxing? It hasn't actually happened even once.

The masks are justified by a lie. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-s-mask...
ICE's Masks Are All a Lie
Working for ICE is actually less dangerous than being an elementary school student in America.

Note: House rules prohibit suggesting brown people are human.
Garbarino: "It is a clear violation of the rules of the House to make statements that might be personally offensive to the president or vice president."

@whstancil.bsky.social was exactly the security issue his community thought he was. Folks need to understand that best practices are not about detecting someone's political beliefs but just shutting down potential problems like when a guy like him who wants some protestors arrested chats with ICE.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

The US extracted the wealth from Puerto Rico through sugar/tobacco plantations for decades while paying farm laborers almost nothing. The Jones act has taxed Puerto Ricans to prop up a US shipping cartel for a century. The only parasites are the wealthy Americans extracting wealth from the island.

I pullled these photos from the Library of Congress which houses a large collection of great depression era photos of Puerto Rico as a result of New Deal work programs such as the WPA.

These were all from my hometown in Cidra, PR which is up in the mountains. (El campo).

I talked a bit about Fate in today's big thread, and it's a topic I raise surprisingly rarely, so some of it might have come across a bit negatively, largely because the topic required focusing on the parts of Fate which have felt the boot of history.

Decent people see friendship as a matter of mutual respect and support, with reciprocal obligation borne out of decency.

Trumpists see only “do what we say or we’ll hurt you,” a disturbed 12-year-old bully’s conception of strength.
Canada has stood with America when we were at our lowest, has fought and died in wars alongside us, has done everything a nation could to help and be amicable with another. And now America has gratuitously stabbed Canada in the back, and continues to do so. Things can never be the same again.
With Friends Like These
To defend itself from Trump's thuggery, Canada must seek new friends.

Schumer: ball’s in your court

Republicans: stab the ball, tear it apart, set it on fire, rip up the court and sell the turf to Bahrain

Schumer: hey you guys are out of balls

Republicans: we’re gonna kill your families

Schumer: ok we’ll pass funding for new balls but you’ve GOT to read the rules

Relooted makes me think of how dope a fantasy TTRPG version of this would be.

Imagine: A Blades in the Dark hack, where you are reclaiming your land's lost treasures from the noble dastardly who stole them? That would kick ass.

So, I dropped this comment in passing in another thread, because I consider it kind of self evident, but a number of people raised very reasonable objections, and that's on me for being a bit loose with language.

So, let's talk about modularity and RPG design.
An idea that has fallen out of favor in design circles is the idea of RPG rules as something modular, but for a period of time, this was the default assumption - one way of building good rules was to build them so that others could write complementary rules and slot them in.

They’re buying up warehouses to build concentration camps. They say they will fill these camps with immigrants. Tens of thousands. Maybe a hundred thousand.

“But I’m a citizen,” you say, “I am in no danger.”

You are wrong. This is Stephen Miller we’re talking about. He will fill those camps.

Respect on bagpipes!!
Jack Duffy attaches a respirator to his bagpipes to play through tear gas. “I always play it whenever the police retreat because it's like, ‘You fucking ran while we stayed,’” he says.
