This is a huge part of why so many people think we're in the middle of a widespread "anti-woke backlash": Small movements opposed to social progress are collected into trend stories by conservative media. Far larger movements that want more diversity are ignored or cast as threats.
"Woke is ruining D&D". Meanwhile Dimension 20, one of the wokest real play shows around, just sold out Madison Square Garden and the Hollywood Bowl for live shows and brings armies of new players to RPGs.

Democrats have a tendency to look at the polling on immigration and think they need to start with some version of, "of course ms-13 is an evil organization that....etc.etc.etc"
They're adopting the Republican frame, the very first words out of their mouths link immigration with gang violence

This is a really good New Republic article about trans people leaving the country. Do some research about getting visas. Start now. It is harder and slower than you think, and there are no opportunities for asylum right now. It also is entirely doable.

yes reasonable and fair to wait until we have more information to talk about any motive. no not necessary to wait until we have more information to blame the president and the governors who illegally put national guard where they didn't belong to harass and terrorize their political enemies for show

I would buy Dragon Age Origins if the graphics and gameplay was updated, but that's soooo not going to happen.
So I'll pick the one that is very likely going to happen:

In 1924, Calvin Coolidge's 16-yr-old son played tennis on the White House grounds w/o wearing socks. He got a blister and was dead from infection a week later.
This is unthinkable today—which is why I wrote this series. Cuz the systems that save us from this kind of fate are in urgent need of care.

For a yr, I've been working on a series for The New Atlantis about the vast systems that underlie our lives. Our ancestors built them up over decades to fend off hunger, thirst, darkness and disease. But too few of us know about them—and they're all at risk. The conclusion is now available online:
Why We Are Better Off Than a Century Ago
Our ancestors built grand public systems to conquer hunger, thirst, darkness, and squalor. That progress can be lost if we forget it.

Never been happier I found the cookbook my grandparents used when I was a kid.
NEW: AI “recipe slop” is overrunning search and social. Food creators say Google’s AI Overviews and glossy fake food pics are drowning out real, tested recipes — collapsing traffic and setting home cooks up for disaster, especially this Thanksgiving.

Don’t drop your guard. He and his scum are leaving to terrorize other cities but the other agencies stay behind to kidnap and terrorize. People took eyes off LA when the guard left, but the terror has not. It’s a red herring for media attention and it’s been working. Charlotte is not free from this.
JUST IN: Border Patrol is preparing to end its immigration enforcement operation in Charlotte, nearly a week after the agency first deployed agents to the state’s most populated city, two officials at DHS tell NBC News.
Border Patrol preparing to leave Charlotte, plans to mobilize in New Orleans next
Border Patrol agents arrested more than 250 people in Charlotte this week and, according to reports, could begin operations in Louisiana and Mississippi as soon as next week.

The US accidentally invaded Mexico on Monday, storming a beach and planting DoD “restricted area” signs claiming the land for “the commander,” triggering a standoff w/ armed Mexican security forces, all because Trump’s government can’t even identify a border on a map
