There are only three possible outcomes for undocumented immigrants in this country: mass deportation, amnesty, or legal limbo (i.e., status quo for last 40 years). The first causes violence in communities and harassment of citizens. The third quietly ruins people's lives, as opportunities pass them.
Governor Walz says he's prepared to deploy the Minnesota National Guard if protests become violent in reaction to ICE fatally shooting a woman in Minneapolis.
"We will not take the bait," adds Walz, saying he's also angry but demonstrations should remain lawful.
As a guy who wrote a Werewolf: The Apocalypse thing, you have my blessing to use real corporations in your personal Werewolf game instead of scouring old supplements for the names of Pentex subsidiaries. You can just have your werewolves fighting Union Carbide instead of Snunion Harbide, it's fine.
A solid premise for a near-future TV show is the Rapture happens and you follow the ASPCA (no one outside of America gets Raptured obviously) as they scramble to rescue all those huskies and dobermanns in giant beige houses all across the country
For no reason at all, here's the campfire story scene in MANHUNT where a character relates the tale of J. K. Rowling's grisly death in her fortified Scottish castle.
Now that Mu is distracted by his favorite anime, let's go over how to feed him. Any deviation from the procedure will be met with screaming and throwing up
As a particular kind of nerd, I see the liberal-crystal-woo-to-fascism pipeline through the lens of '90s tabletop RPGs like Mage: The Ascension and Werewolf: The Apocalypse, which can be read simultaneously as left-ish anti-authoritarianism and fascist/Objectivist will-to-power and quest-for-purity
If you lived in a small town in the 90s and there was a strip mall crystal and incense store next to a baseball card shop that sold Magic The Gathering cards that was often the closest thing you had to gay or liberal culture in your town.
Its not surprising that the Chun Doo Hwan regime actively tried to smear its critics in the 1980s, but its still something else when you see it written in a government policy report. Had Yoon succeeded last December this is probably what we would have seen play out.
I've been saying for years now that @miasato.bsky.social is the next hot shit you gotta watch out for and now the American Society of Magazine Editors agrees: Mia is officially an instance of "outstanding achievement by early-career journalists" asme.memberclicks.net/american-soc...
I have decided that my apartment is a landlocked sovereign nation inside another nation and will be engaging with commerce directly with East Asian countries. Do you guys need any shipping containers from Vietnam?
Just watched yet another Palestinian burn to death because even if the news isn't reporting it, Israel is massacring, torturing, raping, burning, maiming, burning, decapitating, crushing Palestinians of every age and gender every moment of every day. An evil of unrivaled scale in modern times.
The administration is a perfect storm of dumb people who enjoy inflicting pain and are addicted to psychotic cruelty and quadrupling down. It ends in total ruin if you don't impeach him.
true believers that don’t think anyone could not like the direction of trumps presidency are creating insane types of conspiracy theories never before seen
I think the text that appears to dissuade you from using hints in Case of the Golden Idol should also be presented before you’re allowed to reply to someone’s Bluesky post
I, for one, welcome the “abundance” fight. It shows the left can fight Trumpism while wrestling with how we can be better than we’ve been.
I have no interest in “actually the government has been doing great” liberalism.
Korean government finally gets around to acknowledging what we've known for many, many years: its lack of oversight and quiet cooperation with adoption agencies resulted in thousands of children having their rights violated for decades. So many very sad stories.

it's been years upon years of labored "campus culture" op-eds from salaried writers hectoring students about free speech, and now the state is kidnapping students for their speech in broad daylight
Even when we lived in a little public-assistance apartment in eastern Mass, my father had a Computer Nook off the kitchen where he screamed at the Commodore-64 when he couldn't get his Star Trek game to compile right
society erred when we removed the computer from its honored place in the home and ushered it into every part of our profane world. we must rebuild the temple of the Computer Room
Emiru, Cinna and Valkyrae were attacked by a creepy ass stalker while on Santa Monica Pier.. Because Emiru wouldn't give him her number.
And we wonder why women chose the bear..
In light of what happened to Valkyrae, Cinna, and Emiru last night, I'm working on a story for Rolling Stone about misogyny against women streamers and its real-world consequences.
I'm reaching out to folks but would appreciate a share/connections!
LGBTQ federal workers say they're terrified they're about to be fired for their gender identity, sexual orientation, or past efforts to support other queer and trans employees—in other words, a second Lavender Scare.

I went to high school with this girl who SWORE Steve Irwin was her uncle. She was one of those people who constantly lied about random stuff. The day after Steve Irwin died she came to school with such fear in her eyes. People would try to talk to her and she’d Naruto run in the opposite direction
