Pritzker is not commander in chief of the ISP the way the U.S. president is commander in chief of the armed forces. They're not HIS police.

The fact that the ISP is openly supporting ICE is a major political problem that he needs to solve, but mainly because people don't understand that.

Also very special thanks to our producer, @dclasair.bsky.social, and our volunteer fundraising coordinator, Shu Qing Tan. We couldn't have done it without your help!

Hm. Can California countersue to ensure that if its own map is struck down, all the others are, too?

I'm sure that, like many conservatives, he believes that right and wrong, good and bad, are functions of who and what you ARE (or claim to be, or are perceived to be), without regard to anything you do or don't DO.

They had a lot of good content for a TTRPG. I don't know why they insisted on trying to make it an MMORPG too, and on treating the MMORPG as the primary project and the TTRPG as a sideline. Coulda had a solid, thriving TTRPG; now we have nothing.

Wow, what a pattern to notice.

You could bend it—not very far—to observe that a similar backlash occurred post-Truman with the Red Scare.

Also, be sure to stop by booth 2852 and check out the selection of TTRPG-related books from Gallery Books' sister imprint, Adams Media. Grab one of @oneshotrpg.bsky.social's Ultimate RPG Guides while you're there! (My books will be available as well, if you happen to miss my autographing window.)
