I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

If you want to to stop being compared to Nazis, stop sounding and acting like Nazis. "Making communities safer" is exactly what Nazis said they were doing too.

Introducing STARSEEKER, a brand new game from the developers of ASTRONEER.
STARSEEKER is all about the joy of discovery and the camaraderie that emerges from an evolving, cooperative experience. We hope you'll enjoy playing it as much as we enjoyed making it... sometime in 2026.
