Actual congressman salivating over war with a NATO ally.
Rep. Greg Steube: "You see Macron and the French sending troops to Greenland. I would love to see the US military up against French troops in Greenland, because it would not last very long. It would be a very small skirmish ... we don't care about what Macron and the French want."

Did we really need an illegal act to provide enough element of surprise to blow up a small boat with a couple of guys on it who had no reason at all to even consider we might be coming?

I assume Target, like other major retail employers in the US, submits I-9 forms to the IRS for all their new hire employees, which verifies their identity and legal work status in the US. Pretty cowardly of them to not issue a statement condemning ICE for harassing their employees.
A Minnesota state representative said two Richfield Target employees detained by U.S. Border Patrol on Jan. 8 were U.S. citizens and were both injured in the incident.
Target employees detained by federal officers were U.S. citizens, legislator says
Minnesota Rep. Michael Howard, who represents Richfield, said the employees also were injured in the incident.

Today they shut our office down completely due to ice and told anyone left at the office go home now.

This thread applies to far more than just gaming. If you have a public-facing facility and aren't asking people who display antisocial behaviors to leave, pretty soon all you are going to have are the antisocial customers.
I spent an excessive number of years moderating a gaming forum and I learned a great deal about community spaces and cultivation, whether I wanted to or not. I have critical advice for anyone who runs a game store or gaming convention. Please share this thread with people who run those things.
