This morning, the federal government turned the full force of the Department of Homeland Security against a sitting member of Congress for the offense of disagreeing with the White House.

The path to citizenship should not be weaponized against anyone, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, a naturalized American who swore an oath to this country — the same one that I took.

The promise of citizenship should not be contingent on someone agreeing with the federal government.

If you're in CA and you haven't voted yet, throw a big ol' NO on Prop 38 and I'd consider it a favor. It's a guy spending $36M on politics to transfer $4B from the state budget into his pocket. More from @knockdotla.bsky.social's voter guide: knock-la.com/knock-la-los...
State Measure 38: No

This proposition would issue $8.4 billion in bonds to support immunology and Alzheimer's research. We sure do like medical research, don't we?

But there's a catch. This proposition is designed with a number of specific conditions on who qualifies for this funding. So specific, in fact, that only one institution would qualify: the California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, which happens to be chaired by the chief funder and proponent of Prop 38.

This is a total corruption of the ballot process and not how we should be funding medical research. Vote no.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

I wish! But the language as it is now means non-meta cedh decks qualify as bracket 4 as well. Pretty much only matters when playing with randos, but can be a real problem. Also see a lot of CEDH commanders with 70-80% same cards as the cedh decks, but some random other stuff and B4 as it is.

Great highlighting what makes "bad" threat assessment lead to salt. I'd add that people really need to hold their instant speed removal instead of firing it off at sorcery speed, you never know what madness the next player in turn order might play!

These cards should stay banned, bracket 4 has been beautiful with these gone.

SpellJamin @spelljamin.bsky.social · 29/08/2026
I think that bracket 4 is too wide of a bracket as is. I get a lot of players who just want to play a 4th game changer and a lot of players who play a old/slightly modded cedh deck because it's "not meta." The expected turns help, but don't solve the problem. To me, CEDH is an ethos, not a meta.

Blue win conditions are so hard to come by! I had a mono blue deck I loved, but took apart because it only every won one way and it wasn't a way that felt great to end the game.
