ICE has only existed since 2003. A Bush-era creation, it is a militarized federal secret police that has been imbued with the Supreme Court with the unconstitutional power to ignore the fourth amendment.

Abolishing it and salting the earth where it grew is the moderate stance.

Are there any #ttrpg with a nemesis system that rewards players for letting enemies escape?

A group with familiar play culture, common goals, but maybe not everyone is fully open. We show up and play, but we don't learn all that much about each other.

An example might be a several-session game run in a community I frequent. It's how I would describe The Gauntlet back in the day.

I agree. Like if the GM info is all in one zine and player info is in another, you can pass that around. Maybe have some common world knowledge in one so the players can use it as a reference. It's especially nice when they include little adventure zines.

Would you rather have your RPGs be a single book or a box of zines?

Is the lack of well-defined decades a symptom of our culture stagnating, or is it the cause?

I remember constantly being reminded that it was the 80s, 90s, or even the new millennium, always with the meaning 'Let go of the past; we've moved on.'

What Happened to Decades?
What Happened to Decades? YouTube video by Adam Conover

I wonder if using decades and making an effort to define them would help clear some of the bleakness I feel towards the last 25 years.

The Justice Dept. orders investigations of any city and state officials who obstruct immigration enforcement.

The interim leadership of the Justice Department has ordered U.S. attorneys around the country to investigate and prosecute law enforcement officials in states and cities if they refuse to enforce the Trump administration’s new immigration policies, according to an internal department memo.

The three-page memo, intended as guidance to all department employees for carrying out President Trump’s executive orders seeking to limit immigration and foreign gangs, asserts that state and local officials are bound to cooperate with the department under the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause and could face criminal prosecution or civil penalties if they fail to comply.

3 copies of 9 Lives to Valhalla lay on a red scarf bunched on gray-stained wood. White and red line drawings of yowling warrior cats following DEATH adorn the covers. The books are surrounded by a cat skull, fossil, small rocks, assorted dice, and holographic gem stickers.

3 copies of The Weaver's Observatory sit on hand-woven cream cloth, weaving imperfections visible. The cover features a gray stone tower alone on a gray stone island in a gray ocean; colorful threads stream out from the top of the tower. Around the books are weaving tools, balls of colorful yarn, assorted dice, and holographic gem stickers.

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
