My Sigils books are science fantasy in their own world, but they are heavily inspired by the tech level of 1910s America.

All games are made from materials that would have been available at the time. "Pocks" uses wood and glass marbles.

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

ICE spent $800K on vans with stingray tech that collects data from all nearby phones, even yours. These devices mimic cell towers to track locations and intercept communications. Oversight and transparency are needed now.

The Supreme Court of the United States is not a legitimate body.

More judges speak to the press (the NYT) about what a disaster the Supreme Court (specifically the shadow docket) has been - “incredibly demoralizing & troubling”; a “judicial crisis”; a “slap in the face to district courts.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

Because REPUBLICANS.

MAGA Mike Johnson sent the House away for another week.

Sitting at home on a paid vacation.

They are supposed to be engaging with their constituents.

Town halls and such.

Remember this.

They get paid and our military and air traffic controllers do not.
