What made it such a great show is that it was entertaining and layered and explicitly political with excellent music, delightful surprise guests, stunning sets, a clear narrative, a shout out to ALL of the Americas and a cameo from Belcalis.

‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." …
She offered me $2600 to self-deport.
I refused.
I wanted to talk to my attorney.
They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’

I talked to one of the r/MassiveCock posters who decided to bring anti-ICE conversations to the subreddit.

"... Nothing in life should feel ‘normal’ when these sorts of things are happening in our country. Even porn and sex," he said.
