We've been getting questions about, "is Northsky for people who aren't 2SLGBTQIA+ as well?"

The answer is YES! You just have to be chill and respectful of 2SLGBTQIA+ people and other minority groups.

To me, the beginning of Miller's (typically unhinged) rant is the most important part. He's saying that ICE resources have been reprioritized to deal with these "terrorists." That means that protesters are successfully impeding their progress and should feel good about continuing to do so.

The thing about the new Ranma 1/2 anime that makes it stand out so much compared to the old anime isn’t just the incredible animation, creative direction and faithful recreation of the manga’s humour and style, but the fact that this show really loves Akane in ways the original anime didn’t.

One of the things I took away from the 60s and Richard Nixon, first mentioned by Hunter Thompson, but I believe to be true, is the fact that we believed, at time, that all our protesting, marching and sign waving was futile and pointless when in fact, it drove Richard Nixon to alcohol fueled madness

Everyone is trying to have a normal Saturday night and the president's top advisor is on X announcing that civil war is necessary

@StephenM on X: Legal insurrection. The President is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, not an Oregon judge. Portland and Oregon law enforcement, at the direction of local leaders, have refused to aid ICE officers facing relentless terrorist assault and threats to life. (There are more local law enforcement officers in Oregon than there are guns and badges in the FBI nationwide). This is an organized terrorist attack on the federal government and its officers, and the deployment of troops is an absolute necessity to defend our personnel, our laws, our government, public order and the Republic itself.

They're not defeated, but they are wholly botching the theater on which fascism depends.

They can't accelerate meaningfully, they keep trying and keep failing.
