Okay, here's a few Con survival tips with #MCVegas coming up that will probably help newbies out. This is far from complete, but it is meant to cover the basics.
1) Have a comfortable backpack/messenger bag that you can fit everything in, plus swag that you pick up on the Con Floor (1/10).

As Greg points out, the Times thinks they're doing a dunk on Pretti, when actually they're providing evidence of *motive.* The ICE agents should be charged with Murder 1.
So the homicide was premeditated. Planned in advance. Agents knew they wanted to kill him, so they prepared for the opportunity and took it.
Thanks for helping NYT.

More than a week before federal agents killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, different agents pushed him to the ground after he spit at them and broke a taillight on their SUV, according to newly unearthed videos. Watch here.

From me: Chuck Schumer's legislative demands for DHS funding are so narrow they almost mirror what ICE/CBP have just announced in Minneapolis. Just as Republicans were conceding the need to negotiate, Democrats pre-negotiated themselves into mush.

And also: don't wait for ICE to arrive to start building unions of care.
There are already people who need support in your community. Organizing to help them now means that they'll be better able to help others in the future, and that the union of care will be ready if/when ICE arrives.

It's not just "stand up to ICE when you see them," it's building many vast networks of support and trust to
- create safe spaces
- protect schools
- get kids TO school
- check on neighbors
- deliver groceries
- help pay the rent
- let people know of danger
- feed the helpers, too!

And by "the theater," Tom Homan (paid by us) means the occupation (paid for by us) by state agents (armed & paid by us) of a state that annually sends $44 million more in taxes to DC than it gets back in federal support for the 5.8 million Americans who live there - or, as they might say, "us."
Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?
HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

It's not an effective criticism of certain comparisons to suggest that, while the Third Reich shipped millions of Jews to places like Auschwitz (which is in Poland), we only arranged to send 238 Spanish speakers to a torture prison in El Salvador.

Something that isn't always addressed is the presence of trauma in nerd communities. Folks latch on to these hobbies as a place of safety and stability, and any perceived threat to that causes well...Gamergate.
Hurt people hurt people. Often, the most dangerous people are the damaged ones.

I’m curious. What makes nerd communities so insufferable when it comes to gatekeeping hobbies? You would think that it would be open arms when you say you’re interested in something especially because they were probably bullied for liking that same thing but instead of embracing you they shun you 🤷🏾♂️
