New — I wrote about ChongLy Scott Thao, the elderly Hmong American wrongly arrested and forced out of his home by ICE in his underwear during the punishing Minnesota winter, what witnesses saw, and DHS's racist claim that he fit the description of another Asian man they were looking for.

My story:
Behind the disturbing image of ICE snatching a half-naked, elderly Hmong American from his home
DHS has claimed without evidence that they were looking for someone else when they took ChongLy Scott Thao.

NEW — DHS just posted this as an apparent explanation for why they arrested an elderly US citizen with no criminal record (it's a quote post of a post about ChongLy Thao's arrest.) The implication seems to be that all Asian men look the same, and it's not their fault they mistook one for another.

This idea that "sustainable" must mean constant exponential growth is capitalist tech bro mentality. Not everything needs to feed the attention machine.

Protesters: We're being peaceful

Cops or feds and sometimes both at the same time: *do tremendous amounts of violence to those protesters*

The news: Peaceful protest turns violent

The courts: Oh well you can beat those protesters up when that happens, shoot em, gas em, stick em in a stew idc

I am not familiar enough with solo RPGs to know if it's a lesser known system, sorry...

I feel like any game based on the Wretched & Alone SRD would work well with this!
