Call your congressfolk and demand they cosponsor this:

The tragic death of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old mother fatally shot by ICE, shows that ICE can’t be reformed and must be abolished.

I’ll be introducing the Abolish ICE Act as a step toward justice, accountability, and humanity in our immigration policy.

Time to melt ICE.

And again, yes, rule 34, I've got my own weird kinks, put boobs on whatever, just... Coexist with people who share many of your values? Please? America is doing terrible things and living here sucks for all marginalized people but please stop lashing out over nothing

I mean, I realize that to many furries, it's an identity thing that runs deeper that what most would consider a hobby, but to conflate one video game mod with all furries everywhere also seems... grandiose and weird?

Seriously, "defurrification eugenics"? That is a phrase I'd never have thought about, let alone over one person's "y tho" reaction to putting boobs on a beloved video game character from a franchise in which boobs run kinda counter to the entire aesthetic

I have nothing against furries whatsoever but I do side-eye fandom culture in general
