Good summary of “don’t give him what he wants” from relatively comfortable white liberals.

Not going to bother making screenshots for each supported language... that would take ages. But I've done the EN ones, and updated the various storefronts.

Kinda neat seeing how much the visuals have changed since I first introduced the 3D view (left) to now (right).

A downside to literally no one in this Administration understanding basic economics is that "we're going to raise tariffs until you give up Greenland" is the econ version of "I'm going to repeatedly kick myself in the testicles until you do what I want"

Trump: NATO members to face tariffs increasing to 25% until a Greenland purchase deal is struck
Trump recently hinted that he may pursue a tariff strategy on Greenland similar to the one he used to force foreign countries to change their drug prices.

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.

They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

I agree that we ought to use persuasion to bring people nearer to our political purposes; I think that making every single Republican a social and professional pariah for the rest of their lives would be very persuasive when it comes to people weighing the cost/benefit of aligning with fascism.

Having been a member of the Republican Party ought to be the sort of thing you must spend your life in humble anonymous service hoping to overcome. It should be the sort of thing that makes children so ashamed of their parents they change their names.

I guess my point is that Boomers make up 50 percent of Congress, and over half of the Senate is 65 and older. Only 24 percent of the US population are boomers, but they hold an overwhelming amount of political power. We need to vote. For the love of God, please vote.

Boomers entered the world in a (relatively) peaceful post-war boom. They had drugged-out sexually liberated young adulthoods pre-aids. They made a shit ton of money while greed was good in the 80s, raised kids during the quiet security of the 90s, and get to leave before everything falls apart.

Once upon a time, 37% was enough to win everything. So the promise of proportional representation was tossed aside.

Then the same system delivered the opposite result: zero seats and a resignation. The lesson is simple. Stop gambling. Choose proportional representation.

Harlan Ellison was proud to announce that he was on Nixon's Enemies List.

Under this Administration, being investigated by the DOJ is a good sign that you're a decent, principled person.

Got the iOS and Android versions running, and am almost done with the Steam (Windows and Linux) builds.

Realized I have to make a bunch of new screenshots for the storefronts, as the landscape mode is significantly different now. Mildly annoying.

Progress, anyway.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.

The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.
Breaking news: The Justice Department has issued subpoenas for Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey as part of an investigation alleging that they are impeding federal law enforcement officers’ abilities to do their jobs in the state.

Step 1: Create street violence

Step 2: Blame enemy group for street violence

Step 3: Brutally oppress enemy group in the name of ending street violence

Step 4: Tell goons to provoke less violence for a sec

Step 5: "You have to give us more power so we can prevent street violence in the future."
Repressive regimes always create the very conditions of instability & unrest that they claim to "solve."

The double pardon really gives away the game. Adriana Camberos started her second round of fraud just weeks after her first pardon. She was charged, convicted, imprisoned…and pardoned again. Trump supporters are permitted unlimited crimes, while the rest of us can get beaten by the secret police.
President Trump quietly issued clemency grants this week, including to a California woman he had pardoned once before and a man whose daughter had donated millions to a Trump super PAC.
