No real spoilers, just my sense of how Mulligan's workflow and an expanded cast meets Critical Role's signature style -- what I think are the strengths of that collaboration, and the potential weak points I am keeping an eye on.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

I’m told ICE attacked us—despite us being off the street, courtesy of the state police—to create a spectacle because Kristi Noem was present today. Here’s some footage of her and her team on the roof of Broadview. Everything is content creation to these fascists.

David Adler writes that “we are approaching interception at the onset of Yom Kippur—our annual day of atonement—which calls on us to reflect on our sins, and what can be done to repair them in the spirit of tikkun olam.”

I hope that fellow Jews will join me in redefining their approach to atonement and move toward courageous action to put an end to this horrific genocide.

It became entrenched. ICE is still riding with MPD. We have “local control” back & people are still being detained & deported. National Guard is still here with long guns pacing our streets.

Starting tonight into tomorrow, as I did last year, I'll be fasting for the high holiday, and the whole day I'll be thinking about how it's only a fraction of the hunger people in Gaza are experiencing. This genocide must end, and atonement for this atrocity must begin.
