I'll post about TTRPGs, wargaming, and news because that's just unavoidable these days on this account. Really into wargaming, I own a bunch of 15mms and currently doing a 6mm project

You watch this tearful flag-waving navy vet breaking down at the end of the clip and you think to yourself about how the administration and all their shitbag followers think it'd be cool if she just got shot in the head and....I don't know man. I just don't know
🚨BREAKING: ICE agents just launched flash bang grenades at protesters in front of federal building in Minneapolis—causing massive explosions. "It's terrorizing, this isn't the America I served for 20 years in the U.S. Navy," tearful protester tells us.

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.

A citizen.

Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.

"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.

Agents took and sold his phone

And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

A few months ago, ICE hired me

I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable

And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

Iran is under an internet blackout. Iranian protestors aren’t seeing Trump’s posts (who knows how many usually would, but they aren’t now). This message isn’t for them.

A show of pretend toughness for Iran regime change advocates, and pretend concern while violently repressing protestors at home.
Trump: "Iranian Patriots, KEEP PROTESTING- TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!! Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price. I have cancelled all meetings with Iranian Officials until the senseless killing of protesters STOPS. HELP IS ON ITS WAY. MIGA!!! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP"

On my way to the Supreme Court where I'll be proud to support 15-year-old Becky Pepper-Jackson, West Virginia's only transgender athlete, as she opposes the state's effort to ban her from playing as herself.

Win or lose, Becky and her family are heroes for standing up for what's right

Continues to enrage me that so far zero mainstream journalists have written a story about straight up, zero quibbles, white supremacist Nazi propaganda being posted *daily* by multiple, official, US Government accounts. Just fucking crickets.
A recent Department of Labor post uses a slogan similar to the Nazi propaganda slogan "One People, One Empire, One Leader”

If people hadn't been willing to share video, for instance, the official narrative on George Floyd would have stood, and his death would have been fully covered up. It is really vital that if you have video of ICE acting aggressively, you let the public see.

I have to say, I'm a little frustrated, there are vast numbers of horrifying videos of ICE circulating privately right now, but a lot of paranoia about sharing them publicly on social media. Sharing is fairly low-risk and THE ONLY WAY the full scope of what's happening here will be understood.

jerome powell has joined your squad

for the next mission, “defend the federal reserve,” you have to bring Powell with you as one of your squad members, you can bring other people too but Powell is required to trigger the key cutscenes.

Mark Ruffalo donned an anti-ICE pin at the #GoldenGlobes in tribute to Renee Good, who was shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer this week in Minneapolis. The black-and-white pin read “BE GOOD."

A phenomenally evil government for every second of its existence
New: “Fears are growing that the number of protesters killed by Iranian security forces now reaches into the thousands…cell phone footage has emerged of truck-mounted machine guns strafing residential streets, hospitals swamped by shooting victims, and a morgue overwhelmed by hundreds of bodies”
Death Toll in Iran May Already Be in the Thousands
No precise toll can be ascertained, but a group estimates that protester deaths may have reached 6,000 through Saturday.

some genuinely good news from DC
This follows the news that the minibus spending bill has no restrictions on gender-affirming care either. It looks like Democrats dug their heels in on this one and won.

The minibus spending bill is out! This is for the Commerce, Justice, Science; Energy and Water Development; and Interior and Environment Appropriations Act, 2026. Notably, there are no restrictions for gender-affirming care or trans care in here.

In another part of the interview, she says an agent who was driving her to Whipple stopped and pulled her out of the car to beat her again.

She says she told the agent she would be at his trial at Nuremberg.

“They’re enjoying it,” she told @statuscoupnews.bsky.social.

In this clip from a longer interview, she says while she was in detention, agents called Renee Good a “lesbian b*tch.”

This video belongs to @statuscoupnews.bsky.social and I’ll take it down if they want me to.
