You will never convince me to hate or fear someone because of their skin color. Or how they got here. No one is illegal on stolen land, or any land.

They’re cowards and expect everyone else to be as well
The MAGA regime also really obviously doesn't know what to do with the fact that each time ICE murders somebody, the people they're trying to scare merely get more angry and more motivated to fight back.

Protests happen, but most of what is happening in Minneapolis isn’t protesting.
More accurate terms:
- observers
- witnesses
- volunteers
- neighbors
- residents

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

Land acknowledgements are fine, it'd be better if they just went ahead and gave the land back.
Trump talks about Denmark and Greenland just now: "The fact that they landed a boat there 500 years ago doesn't mean that they own the land."

The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect.

The way to reconcile this is their aspiration was always to put down a slave revolt, not fight in one. bsky.app/profile/osit...
We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

Outlaw Star blew my baby mind
What's the coolest anime weapon?
IMO, it's the caster gun from Outlaw Star, a combination of a sawn-off shotgun and a grenade launcher that fires bullets that some Taoist mage slapped a talisman on. It's strangely incredibly sensible as a weapon.
Thought we'd just do something fun this morning~

The small army of contract writers on Metroid Prime 4 need to read this lol
Fictional characters aren’t interesting in and of themselves. What makes them interesting is what’s on the page. Or stage, or screen, or whatever.
If you want an audience to find the characters you’re portraying interesting, you have to put what’s interesting about them into your portrayal.
