I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
There's a lot of talk about medicaid in the big awful bill but hardly anyone talking about how it will turn ICE into the largest law enforcement agency in the country and world's largest jailer. This is the equivalent of the enabling acts and will be the start of an ethnic cleansing campaign.
I have nothing to post about regarding the PTCG since I been away from home in a small city with no leagues in it so here’s some cats I helped feed with a friend of my partners who works with animals.
Hi I’m from Minnesota
They gave garde what is likely a better ralts and kirlia too lmao.
This with Baxcalibur and a beefy water mega could be nutty.
I guess we might be having a tier 0 deck for the first time since broken Lugia.
and lastly to try to come up with my own lists far more often because this season for the most part I played other peoples 59/60s. I know from when I was a much better player I could come up with some good lists if I put my mind to it. These two pictures contain my entire CP event season.
I ended the Pokémon TCG season with 158 points. I am very happy with it for how many events I played. Wish I gotten points at NAIC but I’ll take not flopping it. My goals for next season are to get close to/max out locals by going to more, get my stuff together enough to go to more majors, 1/2
They really dropped the next Hades 2 update while in I’m away from home and my pc and forgot to fix my cloud saves before leaving so I won’t have my save file on my partners laptop…
Granted the some of innovations by the top players for this tournament are highly likely to be better uses of the deck slot.
The main thing is that it’s a one prizer that does not get completely wrecked by munkis and does good damage especially. I also found If ghouldengo benches gimmighoul, fez or munki the card completely wrecks the deck if you set up double munki.
The highlight of the tournament for me was how many people picked up my Enamorus to read it including players in neighboring tables. Not sure if Enamorus was correct but I did use it quite a bit. Was also great meeting friends I played among us with for the first time IRL at the event.
I went 4-3-2 at NAIC which was my first ever major with Garde with Enamorus. I definitely chose the right deck but had a few misplays and some bad luck round 5. I did not prepare as well as I could have but I’m happy given that this was my first major. Was so much fun def will be back for next NAIC
Deltarune tomorrow aaaaaaaaaaa! Gonna be going dark for pretty much all of tomorrow.

This happens TOMORROW, so back up your vods now!
Time to see how well I do at this league cup where half the players in it are cracked.
Lot's of cards to piece together and does not work for every matchup but this feels like a potentially insane combo if it can work.

I won round 0 of NAIC, which will be my first regional/IC, while my partner managed to get in as a spectator. After NAIC, we will visit my partner's mother, who lives reasonably close to New Orleans.
The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.
Would be nice if I could pull a single shiny so I could move on to space time smackdown or Triumphant Light to chase their immersives since I whiffed hard on those sets. I started this set by pulling 2 Immersive Giratinas in my first 10 packs.
It feels like I have untilted myself from the ptcg. It took a bit to find a deck after rotation that I liked playing and it feels like getting back to using training court has also helped a lot with motivation.
Really hoping so. I have stopped posting about everything that’s not politics on Twitter and moved all that to bluesky. I should likely post about every local I go to for the sake of getting more stuff to post out instead of only posting about CP events when I don’t go to many and testing things.
🚨 Attention, Trainers!

I’m so damn sick. I did not think Trumps 2nd term would be so bad. Turns out it would have been better if he won in 2020 instead losing then winning again since at least there would have been adults in the room.
I was also trying and failing to come up with a Zoro Garde list. I was trying trolley mainly to save deck space but it did not feel good.
I got my Zoroarks like a week ago expecting Zoroark to be a good engine that someone would figure out.
My politically focused alt randomly got followed by that account even though I don’t even post on it much. Guessing it’s because of something I posted or the fact that it has Twin Cities Leftist on my alt’s bio.
