So, I dropped this comment in passing in another thread, because I consider it kind of self evident, but a number of people raised very reasonable objections, and that's on me for being a bit loose with language.

So, let's talk about modularity and RPG design.
An idea that has fallen out of favor in design circles is the idea of RPG rules as something modular, but for a period of time, this was the default assumption - one way of building good rules was to build them so that others could write complementary rules and slot them in.

We live in a moment when so many people in this country share the moral clarity that ICE endangers us all—only for the heads of the “opposition” party to try to quash this clarity with meaningless reforms, and to give ICE more money and power. 2020 never ended.

Respect on bagpipes!!
Jack Duffy attaches a respirator to his bagpipes to play through tear gas. “I always play it whenever the police retreat because it's like, ‘You fucking ran while we stayed,’” he says.

Another classic post-Homan day where around school dismissal time we get a flurry of ICE vehicles all across our neighborhoods. Today one vehicle led an observer to their own home and pointed at it. This is a sick game to them, but we won’t be intimidated and we won’t stop until DHS is abolished.

Yeah it’s genuinely obnoxious that this is a thing thats relevant to know. Like, way the fuck in the weeds.
one thing that has always confused me about these hypos where the House refuses to recognize Dem winners—the House isn't a continuing body, and it wouldn't be the current House that would be seating anyone. it's the incoming House. www.vox.com/politics/478...

You know what they’re going to store in those warehouses?

People
In the last month ICE has bought warehouses in:

- Hagerstown, MD: $102 million
- Surprise, AZ: $70 million
- Hamburg, PA: $87 million
- Tremont, PA: $120 million
- San Antonio, TX: $82 million
- El Paso, TX: $123 million
- Social Circle, GA: price unknown

This is unprecedented.

“I followed the rules. I’ve done great in the community. I’ve never abused any of the conditions of the stay or of my supervision…I’m so scared, I cannot go back."

ICE brutally detained a minister in Vermont. Now, the Trump administration wants to send him back to Uganda, where he was tortured.
He fled torture in Uganda. ICE is trying to send him back.
People like Pastor Steven Tendo “are exactly who our asylum system is meant to protect.”

Most victims of sexual assault aren’t going to get massive investigations with millions of pieces of evidence. This super high standard concerns me. We shouldn’t need the rest of the files. We shouldn’t have needed any of this. E. Jean Carroll alone should’ve ended him.

There are some great threads going about how awful sugar plantations were.

I just want to add something as a historical romance author: every time you see someone adding a sugar cube to tea in a historical romance, think of those threads and the blood-soaked cost of the sugar.

This is how Minneapolis’ city council president and staff are treated while legally observing ICE:
When they boxed Elliott and I in and came to my car they literally said to us right away:

“This is your first and final warning we have license plate readers and facial recognition we know who you are”
Trump admin is building a list of people to retaliate against for engaging in legal, 1st amendment protected activity.
