Horrifying. Fucking murderers.
You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.
This could be you.

Remember her. These are the people the American gestapo are murdering.
The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University.

Incredibly disappointing.
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.

Seconding this. Public Access really ended up being about something other than what I thought as the GM it was going to going in.
Public Access is, to date, the most intentionally occluded of my games. From a read, you get: young people, analog horror, mysteries. And it is those things! But there's sooooooo much more going on, and when you start to play it—and assuming you follow the rules—the game really gets in your head.

perhaps you guys should do something about Trump already so we could differentiate you from russians
Remember how appalled we all were in 2022 when Russia completely unprovoked attacked Ukraine? That is what we’re doing tonight with Venezuela. We are the bad guys here. Everyone who supports this is supporting unprovoked murder. Fuck every last one of them

I think it's critically important to contrast this with credit companies openly disenfranchising independent pornographic artists. The average American should be aware that right now we live in a country where a paragovernmental group is banning all porn except revenge porn that they sell you.
