    US/Israel and Iran-

    Woah... that's out of line bub... Ranged fighters are a perfectly useful part of a healthy D&D party.

    All Things LGBTQ+

    This really is devastating to transgender children and their families. This is nothing more than naked aggression against kids based on the political class' own discomfort. I feel so freaking sad for people who are going to be left without resources in a state that hates them

    Will “mass deportation” actually happen

    Maybe if they didn't have to subsidize other states and could keep their money local, they could pay down that debt .. :)

    Will “mass deportation” actually happen

    Yes, this is the sort of thing that helps frame the discussion in what the explicit costs are.

    Will “mass deportation” actually happen

    That was the bipartisan bill proposed in 2024, that was shot down by Trump. At this point, I think the solution is to start talking about the issue honestly. It's not about law and order. So, let's define the risks and costs and benefits, and get a common understanding of that.

    Will “mass deportation” actually happen

    The point is, just saying something is a crime is neither a necessary nor sufficient condition to justify spending billions of dollars, suspending rights -- or really getting people all worked up over it.What people who are obsessed over this issue have failed to do, is the hard work of...

    Will “mass deportation” actually happen

    All this wouldn't bThe problem is that this is being carried out by someone convicted of 34 felonies and pardoned people who beat up cops. Obviously this isn’t about some noble intention to uphold the law.Try substituting jaywalkers for illegal immigrants. Jaywalking is a crime. There’s a...

    No Kings

    I think the main point and hopefully benefit of these protests and demonstrations is to remind the political powers that there are a LOT of people who are not happy with the way things are going, and will not go along with anything that feels like further aggregation of political power into the...

    Will “mass deportation” actually happen

    This is the challenge with asymmetric power -- those with less power have to be absolutely perfect.

    Will “mass deportation” actually happen

    So, what's the red line? At one point do we actually do a national strike or something along those lines?

    Will “mass deportation” actually happen

    Further, what's interesting about the Boston Massacre was it was preceded by riots on the part of the colonists for several days before hand. And the riot by colonists on the day of the massacre was a bunch of protestors throwing stuff at a British soldier who was knocked to the ground by the...

    Will “mass deportation” actually happen

    But don't encounters just mean more people are coming, not that they aren't being stopped/deported? I sometime wonder if all the right wing talk of "open borders" actually encourages more people to come b/c they believe it's actually open. Although the real reason is that the US recovered from...

    Will “mass deportation” actually happen

    The problem is we don’t believe this is about the law because it’s coming from a felon who pardoned rioters who beat up cops because they believed the felon.

    It would be so stupid if this, THIS, is what brings him down.

    The trade and economy mega-thread

    Inflation came in at 2.1% for April. This should make it easier for the fed to cut interest rates, which will be helpful.

    Trump’s assault on Universities

    They've done this for a while.. it isn't just a response to the current issues, but it is pretty cool.

    Trump’s assault on Universities

    There's just way too much infrastructure built up around their current campuses. It would take a long time and a LOT of money to replicate elsewhere. Obviously if this continues on, it becomes more viable. But there's no way they'd do that after only a couple of months of this, particularly when...
