To heal our divided nation I propose splitting Game of the Year awards into two categories:

- Game of the Year That’s 3D and You Use a Sword and/or Gun to Explode a Guy
- Game of the Year That’s Some Gay Bullshit Indie Meditation on Grief or Whatever

Your periodic reminder that @radiofreetom.bsky.social who many of you like to follow, and who writes for the Atlantic, was pushing the great replacement theory before Trump and has never apologized for it. He's part of what got us here.

I wrote about No Kings Day in Los Angeles. What bothers me most about reflecting on police response to protests in LA is that the brutality begins to feel...expected. Like, "Oh, that's just LAPD." Frankly that's bullshit. Pretty tired of watching my neighbors get their shit kicked in by the cops.

Trump has not been to Altadena or mentioned it as far as I can tell. He has eviscerated federal disaster relief, wildland firefighting, and emergency management. And he has played a disastrous game of chicken over the billions in grants we need to move forward.

In June 2025, Nick Stern, a British photojournalist, was shot by police with a less lethal munition while documenting protests against ICE in Los Angeles.

I had tried to follow this closely. I didn't realize how close he came to losing his leg. Or worse. 😑

It’s both depressing and darkly hilarious how Lawfare posting has gone from “we got him on an Article 33, Clause 8, Subsection Alpha infraction, baby cannon time!” to *slams whisky bottle down* “the law is fake and I challenge John Roberts to a fistfight at the Walmart parking lot.”

Not enough people are paying attention to a major target for Brendan Carr and the Trump admin’s crackdown on free speech: social media. It’s under bipartisan attack, even though it’s a crucial forum for reaching the public and fighting back.

Since Charlie Kirk was fatally shot, people on the left have been censored, punished, and targeted with more violence for telling the truth about Kirk's legacy. The cycle continues: mainstream whitewashing of violence begets more violence and the victims are blamed.

I’ve posted this before, but the GOP-led US senate report shows the core allegations of russiagate are fundamentally true, and the right wing has been working for years to obfuscate that in the public eye www.intelligence.senate.gov/2020/08/18/p...

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

I wrote this story because the case of the Guatemalan children hasn’t received nearly as much media attention as it deserves.

I wanted to highlight the full extent of the government’s depraved conduct.

I hope you’ll read and share. Don’t look away.

www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...
But on the morning of Aug. 31, as the bus made its way to the airport, A.R.M.D. worried that he would be returned to Guatemala without the opportunity to make his case in court. Sharing his anxiety were other Guatemalan children who, like A.R.M.D., had been roused from bed in the middle of the night at their respective foster homes or care facilities. At a children's shelter in McAllen, Texas, one young.girl "was so scared that she vomited and asked to speak with a clinician." Another teenager, who said that her sister was murdered in Guatemala last year, worried that she, too, would be killed if she returned. Other potential deportees cited personal histories involving family violence, sexual abuse, or human trafficking as reasons why they were afraid to return to their home country. In theory, the law is supposed to protect unaccompanied children from being summarily whisked out of the country by the government.
