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.

At the request of the U.S. Department of Justice, a Facebook group used by nearly 80,000 people to report sightings of federal immigration agents in the Chicago area has been taken down by the social media giant Meta, Facebook’s parent company.

Facebook suspends popular Chicago ICE-sightings group at Trump administration’s request

The group, "ICE Sighting-Chicagoland," has been increasingly used in the last five weeks of President Donald Trump’s intense deportation campaign to warn neighbors that federal agents are nearby.

1. Yesterday, the press gave Gavin Newsom favorable coverage for signing pro-LGBTQ+ bills.

Little noticed, however, was that he vetoed one of the most important ones: a bill allowing trans people 12 month HRT stockpiles, protecting them from federal threats.

The bill would have allowed transgender people to maintain a safe supply of medication in the era of government crackdowns on care.

The real problem with journalism today, the artificial fair and balanced ethos that Fox introduced, on full display at NPR.

“Many fear ICE tactics are growing more violent.”

That headline should read “ICE tactics are growing more violent.”

It is not conjecture, it is not an opinion, it is fact.

Videos taken by eye witnesses of federal agent encounters with immigrants in Chicago and elsewhere have shown increasingly tense incidents. Immigrant advocates and observers say they're indicative of a larger trend of aggression among federal immigration officers.

I'm holding a NaNoWriMo event in my narrative discord again this year, and I'm seeking prizes for the winners' raffle. I'm chipping in a book and game, but more prizes are needed. If you have any work (books, games, papers, etc.) you'd be willing to donate, please let me know. Thank you!

Yeah, okay, Paul. Like you don't know the Kars for Kids number by heart too.

The only phone numbers I know by heart anymore:

- mine
- my wife’s
- my landline number from when I first moved to LA
- my childhood home
- a Philadelphia community helpline that advertised on local TV with the jingle “CALL for ACT-ION! GREENwood SEVen five THREE one TWO!”

100%. The party that left Guantanamo intact through 12 years of presidential authority is not capable of understanding why fascism is a threat—and that's just one egregious example with clear stakes, there are countless more nuanced ones.

I truly believe a big reason why Democrats are failing to appropriately respond to the moment is a pathological refusal to admit that there were aspects of the American status quo pre trump that were extremely fucked up and unjust
