but I wish it were that simple.
It's not just war around the globe, but current-gen policing in America, and basic "how do we treat each other".

Best way I can put it is how Patrick Skinner (@SkinnerPm) who is a cop but ex-USCG+CIA puts it on Twitter: "All of us matter, or none of us do."

If a Democratic president had done something like this, Fox and the GOP would have turned Adriana Camberos into a household name à la Willie Horton or, yes, Hunter Biden.

I'm gonna say this with all the kindness in my heart: you aren't going to survive if you don't let your life have room for other things.

This is not a short term fight where we can just go 24/7 and then it will be over. We've got YEARS ahead of us. Take a break. Hydrate. Go bake something. Breathe.

"Charts: The Indexing" is not the game I want to play. Cthulhu should not have any numbers intelligible to the human mind in the Monster Manual. I don't need stats or entire goddamn clanbooks for antagonists to make them player characters.

Which brings me to Unearthed Arcana.

when you force your closest ally to play a game of "who wants to make trade deals with the sanest available authoritarian superpower" I don't think you get to act surprised when they make a trade deal with the sanest available authoritarian superpower

The de-brownification of America has been a GOP goal since the last immigration act was signed into law. And this court isn't going to do anything that upends that dream...

to put it another way:
I have blood relatives (my cousin's kids) whose ancestors literally lived inside US borders in the SW before Texas was a state.
They didn't move - line moved.

14A "birthright" citizenship is not under discussion.
This "not an American must deport" Bullshit is most foul.
Tribes have been here longer than any of us, they are quite literally the opposite of immigrants.
Tribal leaders are still unable to locate their missing members.

I’ve been feeling that we’ve been moving toward a global kleptocracy, enabled by these things, for some time. Hell, entire countries are being run by convicted felons.

A very important thing for you to know about Icelandic is that the word "rassgat" (butthole) is used as an endearment about cute things. So if you say someone is "algjört rassgat" (a total butthole) it means they are VERY cute. If the cuteness is overwhelming we say "rúsínurassgat" (raisin asshole).

The last decade or so of using the awesome pharmacy and not being treated like a presumptive criminal just because I am a complex medical case that needs multiple scheduled drugs to have some hope of getting out of bed was a really nice respite and I am fucking furious I can't stay with them.

Someone recently complained that I've been ranting about capitalism too much lately, so tonight's Low Quality Ad is for this Cryptids Against Capitalism sticker. You might win an argument against me, but let's see how well you fare against the mythical jackalope.

Exactly. "I refuse to accept that you have been receiving a tangible benefit from this drug and will neither prescribe it nor offer you an alternative" is the canary in the coal mine of fuckstick authoritarian doctors who will gaslight the shit out of you and refuse to handle your actual needs.

Money that could have gone to healthcare or education is going to an armed militia
You're paying for this.

Trump's Big Ugly Bill gave BILLIONS to ICE and giant corporations—using money meant to lower your health care costs.

Instead of helping your mom get cancer treatment, your tax dollars are being used to terrorize communities.

To the Dakota it was a holy site and "the center of the world"

The historic fort is a museum, and a bit of it is about the Dakota (but not that much)

There is a memorial further downhill in Fort Snelling State Park, at the actual site where the camp was
