bro there’s a gofundme to crowdfund attorney fees for a preschooler who was kidnapped by our federal government and shipped across state lines and his senator is posting about high school hockey while every other elected official is debating whether to give a zillion more dollars to the kidnappers

I keep telling you folks, fascism is everywhere, because fascism is banal hate. It's in the riots in Europe. It's in the mass shootings in Oceania. It's in the petrostates of SA and mines of Africa.

Fascism is not a uniquely American problem or creation.

Please grow and change as a person.

It is the stated policy of Magica Riot that Nazis deserve to be punched, so please enjoy one of my trans magical girls, Riot Blue (aka Nova) punching a sad, pathetic Nazi.

Putting pilots in maid outfits because it's a maid kinda day :3
Drawing of a mech pilot in her cockpit, having a conversation over her comms system with another pilot. Two screenshots of bluesky messages are pasted in the image acting as textboxes. In the first, the main pilot says "pilot is a very easy job when you figure out you just have to turn the dots on the radar into no dots on the radar". The second text pilot says in the next text box "It's like being a maid! Just sweep up all the unseemly enemy iff signatures!" A drawing showing a smiling handler in captain hat and large white coat with the two pilots from the previous image. Instead of their pilot suits they are wearing maid dresses, and have embarrassed looks on their faces. The handler has both arms outstretched behind the pilots as if presenting them. Text above the image reads *Heard their whole conversation* and has an arrow pointing to the Handler.

Wow they made mechsploitation real
From https://doi.org/10.1080/15027570.2025.2507458: Weighing against this potential benefit, cyborg-drone warfare could also usher in at least two serious ethical risks. The first risk, associated only with BCIs which are surgically implanted, is that a pilot who is captured might suffer indiscriminate harm. While it is generally permissible for enemy forces to intend harm against combatants, a person ceases to be a legitimate target when they are rendered hors de combat. This change can ordinarily occur when a combatant is captured, disarmed, and imprisoned. However, in the absence of a sufficiently strong jamming signal, an interface device that has become part of that pilot’s body could provide constant connectivity with (and control over) a nearby Loyal Wingman and its onboard weapons. In that case, an enemy might reasonably regard a known and unjammable cyborg as posing a continuing military threat, even while in captivity (McAllister 2019, 72). Non-combatant status would not have been acquired at the moment of capture, and the enemy would retain moral permission to neutralise the pilot’s brain as a source of signals that could summon a drone strike. This might be done simply by killing the pilot quickly, or (if the enemy were willing to risk taking more time) by conducting a coerced surgical procedure to remove the implanted BCI. From the perspective of in bello ethics, the problem in this scenario is that the legal protections traditionally afforded to a prisoner of war (a category of non-combatant) could be undermined. In this hypothetical future, that is, captured cyborg pilots might be denied non-combatant status even if they have and express no intention of fighting on. And, more generally, an enemy’s fear of human-AI interfacing could prompt the swift and indiscriminate harming of all captured pilots (cyborgs and non-cyborgs alike) on the mere suspicion of their harbouring a BCI which connects them to a weapon. From https://doi.org/10.1080/15027570.2025.2507458: The second ethical risk associated with using BCIs to supervise Loyal Wingmen is that these devices (whether implanted or not) might diminish a pilot’s moral agency during combat. The risk of diminished agency has previously been highlighted in relation to pharmacological approaches to cognitive enhancement. Jessica Wolfendale has argued, for example, that administering certain performance-enhancing drugs to soldiers might also produce a mental condition of dissociation. A potential result of this might be the commission of atrocities by a perpetrator who is not fully aware of what they are doing (Wolfendale 2008, 35). This risk has been associated with the use of some amphetamines, especially (Holley 2015; Saniotis and Kumaratilake 2020, 69). By contrast, in the circumstance of BCI-based augmentation of the brain’s data-processing capacity, the diminishment of moral agency could instead result from a cyborg’s sensation of cognitive convergence with AI technology. In this way, through the experiential blurring of artificial and human intelligence, the use of BCIs might compound rather than alleviate the problem of humans’ excessive trust in AI. This, in turn, could diminish rather than preserve the adequacy of human control over an AI-enabled weapon system.

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)
From Senator Chris McDaniel: “Lately, some folks have taken to calling ICE “the Gestapo.” It sounds fierce. It feels righteous. But it isn’t true, and it isn’t harmless. The Gestapo was a secret police force. No warrants. No courts. No lawyers. And no appeals. People vanished in the night, not because they broke the law, but because the law no longer meant anything. The knock on the door was the sentence. ICE isn’t that. Not even close. ICE is a public agency enforcing laws passed by elected officials. Its agents file reports. They seek warrants. They lose cases. Judges stop them. Lawyers challenge them. Some detainees go home. That’s not tyranny. That’s bureaucracy, for better and worse. You can hate immigration policy. You can argue enforcement is too harsh, too sloppy, or too broad. You can work to have the law changed if you wish. That’s a republic doing what it’s supposed to do. But when you call ordinary law enforcement “the Gestapo,” you cheapen real evil. You turn history into a slogan and suffering into a metaphor. And once every badge is tyranny, no tyranny is left to recognize. In Mississippi, I was raised to believe words should earn their weight. This one hasn't yet. It throws around the language of dictatorship while living under a system where courts still rule, lawyers still argue, and the government still loses. That difference matters. Because the day enforcement becomes secret, unchecked, and answerable to no one, we won’t need to borrow names from history. We’ll know exactly what we’re dealing with. And we’ll wish we’d kept our words honest.”
