Recently the voice actor for Dr Ratio in Honkai Star Rail came out in support of Charlie Kirk and his ideals, and when saying this he added in one of many posts that “many fellow VAs feel the same.”

Some actors have hand waved this statement as bullshit.

But I do think it’s important to examine.

Sad to see PBS run a story in this propaganda framing. There is no honor here. This is just more lies and fraud, and once again, we see journalists and news orgs played like a fiddle, incapable of telling it like it is in an age of fascism. Thanks for enabling this further, PBS.

At least twenty fascists chase an inflatable wiener dog in Portland.

This is the city Trump is trying to paint as one of the “most dangerous in America”.

The only thing scary, aggressive or dangerous in this video is the agents sent to terrorize a city that doesn’t want or need them!

The 15 year old girl who was dragged from her car by ICE had recently had kidney surgery.

She was thrown to the ground despite screaming “I’m not resisting”

She had to return to the hospital.

These aggressive tactics will disable. They will kill.

They must be held accountable.

The maddening part of autism is that youve been told that the issue is miscommunication, so you learn early to bend over backwards to communicate clearly.

But the actual issue is bigotry.They smell you’re not allistic, so they take everything badly on purpose, and miscommunication is the figleaf.
