I recently participated in the #tgccoreblazerjam with my friends Vixal and @nickshutter.bsky.social! We made a puzzle-platformer where you must go out in search of items to grant the wishes of others. Play it in-browser here:

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

Note that the fascist is not using the pepper spray for crowd control. He is entering a vehicle unimpeded to depart. He is simply using the pepper spray to physically punish an unarmed citizen he doesn't like.
Big clash this afternoon between DHS agents and protesters in a residential street in Minneapolis, following a DHS agent hitting another vehicle. Tear gas was deployed in people’s yards and agents pepper prayed people.

Everybody should watch this and see this woman, who has a baby in her arms and is thrust into basically a standoff, develop courage in real time.
From the minnesota community on Reddit: ST. PAUL, MN: A sobbing resident calls 911 as federal agents force their way into her home to chase down a DoorDash driver who was just trying to deliver food.

The murder was caught on film from multiple angles, including by the killer. Despite this evidence, the US government continues to promote this maddening lie
That alone should be enough to convince anyone to not believe a single thing they ever say again. That is how easily and confidently they lie

Just to drill this a little deeper:
A married couple just dropped their kid off at daycare. The highest levels of US government would have you believe that they then went into some kind of unhinged lesbian blood-frenzy and decided to drive their toy-filled SUV into as many ICE officers as possible.

Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

Perhaps now people will stop wishcasting about the US military refusing illegal orders. That's not a thing that happens. The 100% compliance rate with using civilian boats for target practice was a bit of a tell.

Look man I don’t think the people being poisoned by data centers really care if you remove the generated assets before shipping, and I don’t really care if you “only” use the machine that stole my shit and convinced teens to off themselves for internal PowerPoints.

Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.
What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.

Well, fuck. Revoking any and all Peripeteia recommendations (and I wish I could un-back it on Kickstarter) based on the very thinly veiled transphobia from the dev (the first one in the screenshots here).

"Second stage is people rejecting conspiracy discourse" is genuinely hilarious, I gotta teach em a little about Yakub and maybe they'll change their tune

Tell Mastercard and Visa about this. When you call tell them you're going to petition your bank to switch. Doesn't matter how much you think they would. It happened.
Funny story: my bank recently sent out an emergency notification letter, which stated they were sending me a new debit card, because they had changed vendors. The old card was a MasterCard. The new one arrived - it’s Discover.
Looks like even banks are noping out of MasterCard’s madness.
