Great ICE WATCH training is tonight 6:00pm - 7:30pm
Excellent intro to important skills and tools for people who want to get involved in Minneapolis. Let's fight these Nazis together and kick them out of our communities!

Not a good time to be driving a black SUV with out of state plates and tinted windows in the Twin Cities metro.

Just saying.

Are you curious about Take, our upcoming project at @leder.games? Well, you can hear from Ted Caya, the designer himself, on this week's episode of my podcast! I highly recommend you give this one a listen, because Ted nerds out about heists, and it is an absolute delight. youtu.be/yvOZxLVZiMo

One of the coolest things I’ve ever gotten to do, is commission @d20plusmodifier.bsky.social w/ monopoly money in Over/Under to create an office photo memento of me and my Stratemeyer Syndicate Internal Affairs Office coworkers.

Over the course of the month I drew a portrait or 2(hundred) in #over/under and called them 🩸HEADSHOTS🩸

And @sean.tuesdayknightgames.com said he might put them in the Mothership app so now you can all apply gentle pressure to that situation too! lol

My #over/under ended a few weeks ago, really, but my Internal Affairs team just commissioned a team portrait. Ours was a small story in the overall scheme of things, but it's a very nice reminder of a bit of the game that I really liked, and it's nice to have it commemorated in this way.

Never has so much been used by so few for so little.
You know, it reminds me of medieval cathedrals at this point. Huge edifices that took literal generations to complete, a vast investment of resources: time, materials, money, even lives. All for the glory of god, because people thought (as they always do) they were living in the End Times.
OpenAI’s planned data centers will use more power than New York City & San Diego use at their peak consumption, combined. More power than the entire nations of Switzerland & Portugal combined.

How badly is Minneapolis failing under Jacob Frey's leadership? After a shooting on Lake Street on Sunday at Lake and 15th, there was a mass shooting at a de facto homeless encampment just off Lake St. on Monday morning. Trauma unleashes more trauma, so more shooting was obviously likely...
This is a woman who was living in the encampment to be near her daughter who is living in adult assisted living apartments in the neighborhood, who had all of her possessions and important documents thrown in the garbage by City staff under Jacob Frey's direction. INCREDIBLE CRUELTY
I the neighborhood church's pastor crying today bc she couldn't get the Mayor's office or City to help a woman retrieve all of her immigration paperwork that was thrown out by the city after the shooting.

1/Today, I went to Lake & Bloomington after media reports that federal agents were descending on a south Minneapolis restaurant. What I witnessed was a heavily militarized law enforcement operation that sparked fear, confusion, and outrage in the community.

“Federal law enforcement officers on the scene declined to say what the purpose of the raid was, and directed the Reformer to an email address for ICE’s media contact. Some declined to identify which agency they were with. Most wore masks.”

That's called secret police and it looked like it.

It is very important to remind people, at every opportunity, that Mayor Jacob Frey has sole and exclusive authority over the Minneapolis Police Department.

This is Jacob Frey's MPD assisting Donald Trump's feds in a raid on Minneapolis.
They tried lie about an ICE presence. MPD assisted with closing off the area. This is completely wrong.

I am at Bloomington and Lake to understand whats taking place this morning. On scene are DHS, ICE, FBI, Sheriffs, and MPD. No matter the reason, one thing is clear: this display of force is designed to strike fear at the very heart of MPLS. We stand in solidarity against it.

New — On X the Minneapolis PD said they were only present at the ICE raid protest "to ensure the crowd and the surrounding area remained safe," but photos shared directly with me show Police Chief Brian O'Hara personally escorting federal agents off Lake Street where protest took place.
