In the last 24 hours, people have tweeted at WotC hundreds of times about Secret Lair and the B&R announcement. Only a handful of times about their failure to recognize @uwotc-official.bsky.social. People talk about not recognizing the game now. That's increasingly how I feel about the community.

Some real fucked up things happening here in Tennessee

PRESS RELEASE: WILSON COUNTY JUDGE
LEA COLLABORATES WITH ICE
Judge Lea reads list provided by ICE, ICE agents escort people out of Wilson County courtroom
Monday, March 2, 2026, Lebanon TN
Today, various volunteers of Music City Migra Watch witnessed Judge Jimmy Lea from Wilson County read a list of Latino-sounding last names of people present for their court cases. According to volunteers, Judge Lea shared that the list was provided by ICE. After the list was read, one ICE agent escorted the people out of the courtroom. Volunteers report that somewhere between 15 and 20 people were taken by ICE
Gisselle Huerta, who was sitting in Judge Lea's courtroom, shares, "They are taking people who were there for expired tags, they took someone, even though he has a valid driver's license and work permit, he was taken".
Huerta says, "The judge kept saying that they wanted to avoid chaos in the street... Judge Lea didn't even see them for their traffic violation; he just handed people off to ICE. Is the Wilson court now operating as an immigration court? Do people who are doing right by showing up to their court dates need to bring immigration representation?"
Ashley Warbington, who was also present in Judge Lea's courtroom, shares, "I listened as he read off 30 names. At least 14 people were present and stepped forward to stand before him. He told them that immigration needed to speak with each and every one of them. He (Judge Lea) also said he allows immigration officers inside the courtroom because he does not want chaos in the hallway or parking lot, and that handling it this way avoids that chaos."
For the past several weeks, MCMW volunteers have seen ICE agents in the Wilson Courts on Mondays and have received reports of ICE in courtrooms on Thursdays. In the last weeks, the people of Wilson County challenged the building of a detention center we urge the people of Wilson County to demand transparency in Judge Lea's courtroom.

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

I’m so proud of Minnesota. I understand why some people belittle protests as not enough, but I really think this shit matters. I saw a clip on Fox News and they had to admit thousands of people showed up. It’s not going to stop Trump, but it’s a signal to your neighbors that they’re not alone.

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

According to Fox News, if you are a racist Young Republican you are still a "kid" when you are 34, but if you are an Epstein victim, you are an adult when you're 15.

I gotta give it up to the writers tho. If NYC elects a Muslim mayor on the day Dick Cheney died, that is one hell of a slow played story arc. Every time you want to fire 2025's writers room they give you a little narrative resolution as a treat.
