Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

(RNS) — Last month, the Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility and spread his arms wide. Adorned in all black and wearing a clerical collar, the pastor looked up at a group of masked, heavily armed ICE agents on the roof and began to pray.

“I invited them to repentance,” Black, a minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA), said in an interview. “I basically offered an altar call. I invited them to come and receive that salvation, and be part of the kingdom that is coming.”

But when Black began to lower his arms a few seconds later, the agents responded to his spiritual plea by firing pepper balls, or chemical agents that cause eye irritation and respiratory distress, video footage shows. One struck Black in the head, exploding into a puff of white pepper smoke and forcing him to his knees. Fellow demonstrators rushed to his aid, and as the pastor rubbed his face in pain, the agents continued to fire.

“We could hear them laughing,” Black said.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

Pretty clear Stephen Miller, Noem, Hegseth and Trump are trying to provoke a Civil War at this point. What's interesting is they want to do it now, because even though they're unpopular, they seem to believe this is the most popular they'll be ever again. We can't let them win.

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States.

America is on the brink of martial law.

Do not be silent.

Have Fun Storming the Castle! – Castle Combo Review

One of the really common things about our Sunday game days, unless we are playing a couple of really deep games that take too much time, is to have 30-45 minutes left after the main game and then trying to decide if we should all go home or if we want to try something short and sweet. There are so many great short and sweet games, that my choice is always to play one of those, unless everybody else wants to go.

ICE are nothing but thugs. Notice how they go after a lot of people who can't fight back?

Here’s an idea for a reporter:

Gather some retired cops or MPs together and show them how ICE handles hecklers and protesters.

I guarantee you’ll get some amazing copy. Especially if your outlet lets you reprint profanity.

I was feeling pretty down last night about the state of the world and worrying about the longevity of my company and then I got a super nice email from a customer thanking me for what I was doing with New Mill and it was really amazing.

Don't forget to tell people that you love what they're doing.

New to Me #boardgames - September 2025 @kinsonkeygames.bsky.social @pegasusspiele.bsky.social @bitewinggames.bsky.social @allplay.bsky.social @amigogames.bsky.social

New to Me – September 2025

I love months where I play a bunch of games that I have no experience with. September gaming was great for the number of plays, but even better for the new to me games that I got to play! I especially love it when there's a good mix of lighthearted, relatively short, interesting games and those games that make your brain burn if you're not careful.
