Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

"Don't worry about the Discord thing, it's only NSFW servers and channels that will require age verification! :)"
I could remove every speck of risque imagery/topics from my community and there's still a 50% chance we'd get flagged just because we're openly queer.
It's not actually about the kids.

So still need to paint all their hands. Also going to a tabletop game shop tomorrow to pick up some gray for Ash's sideburns, maybe a new red for blood splatter, and an orange for the Heather figures. Hoping to get these listed over the weekend.

Cops are still cops.
The police aren’t suddenly law-abiding saviors now that white people are being threatened by a government “law enforcement” organization.
Your privileged past experiences with cops hasn’t made them the grown-ups in the room that are coming to protect you from fascism.

I’m *extremely concerned* about the way folks are reforming their image of the cops in light of everything that’s happening, even though we only have a handful examples of them disagreeing with ICE, while still being responsible themselves for the murders of Black and brown people across the country
