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.

There's a lot of talk about medicaid in the big awful bill but hardly anyone talking about how it will turn ICE into the largest law enforcement agency in the country and world's largest jailer. This is the equivalent of the enabling acts and will be the start of an ethnic cleansing campaign.

This with Baxcalibur and a beefy water mega could be nutty.
Wally's Compassion
(Supporter)
Heal all damage from 1 of your Mega Evolution Pokémon ex. If you do, put all Energy attached to that Pokémon back into your hand.

I guess we might be having a tier 0 deck for the first time since broken Lugia.
Mystery Garden
(Stadium)
Once during each player's turn, that player may discard 1 Energy card from their hand. If they do, that player draws cards until they have as many cards in hand as they have Psychic Pokémon in play.

I ended the Pokémon TCG season with 158 points. I am very happy with it for how many events I played. Wish I gotten points at NAIC but I’ll take not flopping it. My goals for next season are to get close to/max out locals by going to more, get my stuff together enough to go to more majors, 1/2

I went 4-3-2 at NAIC which was my first ever major with Garde with Enamorus. I definitely chose the right deck but had a few misplays and some bad luck round 5. I did not prepare as well as I could have but I’m happy given that this was my first major. Was so much fun def will be back for next NAIC

Lot's of cards to piece together and does not work for every matchup but this feels like a potentially insane combo if it can work.

I won round 0 of NAIC, which will be my first regional/IC, while my partner managed to get in as a spectator. After NAIC, we will visit my partner's mother, who lives reasonably close to New Orleans.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Would be nice if I could pull a single shiny so I could move on to space time smackdown or Triumphant Light to chase their immersives since I whiffed hard on those sets. I started this set by pulling 2 Immersive Giratinas in my first 10 packs.

It feels like I have untilted myself from the ptcg. It took a bit to find a deck after rotation that I liked playing and it feels like getting back to using training court has also helped a lot with motivation.

I’m so damn sick. I did not think Trumps 2nd term would be so bad. Turns out it would have been better if he won in 2020 instead losing then winning again since at least there would have been adults in the room.
Here's Trump saying to Bukele that "homegrown criminals are next" and talking about how El Salvador will need to build "about five more places."

Could one of my favorite bands not announce a show while I’ll likely visit my partners mother like every time I go down there there’s a concert I really want to go to about the same time 😂. First time I’m missing a show though since NAIC is setting the start of the trip and the show is the 18th.

As an autistic person even if vaccines have the chance to cause Autism (Which they don't since Autism is something you are born with.) its still a hell of a lot better than polio. It was not fun caring for my dad when he had his knee replacements surgeries which were likely the result of his Polio.
It's considered uncouth to say this but the entire impetus of the antivaxx movement is the idea that having an autistic child is worse than a dead child

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.
Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.
