Listen, in the middle of despair, art provides a way. KPOP Demon Hunters, Yumi's dialogue before her final song at 1:17 approx. Before "What it Sounds Like". That's our anthem. All of us.

You and the folks at Dropout helped keep me sane, so if you need to skip out on the country, you do so. You and your peers have already shown us that a better world is absolutely possible and for me and my family, that alone is worth its weight in gold.

Nice to see you on Gamechangers!

Hunh. Didn't know that ICE stood for "Infantil culiao, enfermo".
Guess you learn something new everyday. (NSFW)

Well, you also got to put this raid into context:

Here's what's up in L.A. this morning

My god... did JD mistake the Pope for a couch?

Ring Shout is an absolute masterpiece in horror. 10/10 no further comments. Just GO READ IT, horror fans!

El Salvador President Bukele says he won't be releasing Kilmar Abrego Garcia back to the US President Donald Trump’s top advisers and Nayib Bukele, the president of El Salvador, say that they had no basis for the small Central American nation to return a Maryland man who was wrongly deported...

Bukele says he doesn't have the authority to return Abrego Garcia. Tr*mp says he doesn't have the authority to retrieve him. Our tax $$ are paying to keep an innocent man in a torture prison.They plan to disappear American citizens there next. This is America's Auschwitz. This is a red alert.

They are literally copying plans used by other dictators.

7/ Act accordingly.

6/ 7) Voting "fraud" will be considered a crime. The "fraud" is in quotes because this relates to people maybe forgetting a document at home or not having one or any other number of bullshit reasons to convict someone--especially opponents--of a crime. This creates a massive slave class.

5/ 6) JD Vance has already proposed SAVE 2, which is adding 1 vote / child, with those votes ONLY useable by the parent. Note that it's the parent. Just one. And with married women unable to vote, guess who gets it.

4/ 5) Under the SAVE act, if your current used name does not match your birth certificate or your passport, you cannot register or re-register to vote. This eliminates most married women from eligibility.

3/ 3) Illegal immigrants must register with the state, or risk rendition to places like CENTCO in El Salvador (i.e. death camps)

4) Farms and construction businesses may now petition to use illegal immigrants for their use.

2/ 1) Massive prisons are being built / constructed (difference being the constructed ones are using tents) anticipating a large influx of incarcerated individuals.

2) Per Executive Order, gender fraud and anti-christian bias are punishable offenses.

1/ Update: Because you really all need to understand this. Slavery is legal under the 13th Amendment for convicted criminals. Here's what they are doing to bring back slavery in full force, as of 4/12/25

5/ Pro-Tip: Stronger together. If the cult that is reaching out to you prioritizes their leaders over you, run. Run to your local union office. You’ll find better support there than airy promises from boring, mediocre white men with inherited money.

4/ There’s a union ad out presenting a bunch of grateful steel workers, the beneficiaries of a grant that turned their steel mill coal to electric. This cleaned up pollution at work, made their jobs safer (and more profitable), and likely preserved their ability to promise long-term jobs.

3/ Want to see something closer to modern day “tribalism”? Unions. Unions bond together to preserve their territory and support their members, and are ready to stick up and stick out for their members, even when at a disadvantage.

2/ MAGA is a group of highly traumatized people, created by the application of hard power, who have been conditioned to support the preservation of highly wealthy, extremely mediocre white men (who are terrified at the thought that they might actually have to compete with others).

1/ PROTEST 2025 [Friday Tip]: Often I hear people talk about how we need to “defeat tribalism” and “unify”, but let me tell it to you straight: MAGA isn’t tribalism. While tribes can hate or be bigoted, their primary focus is preserving their culture and preserving the land on which they live.

10/ Pro-Tip: Organize. When the times get tough, slot it into an organizational framework that lets your mind rest and antagonizes your opponent. And remember to always take time to laugh and love.

9/ More amusing, it uses the concepts of Western European cultures against asshats who insist that Western European culture is the greatest ever. This gives them a chance to experience, first hand, the fact that if they were present in the ancient myths, they would be considered fomor or jotunn.

8/ Why not talk about ethnicities? Because those should be supported every day in every way, but not highlighting because the current administration put targets on them. It's an opportunity for people of European descent and melanin-challenged to step up.

7/ SUNDAY-MONDAY: In Norse myths, Sun and Moon were brother/sister or sister/sister and elves. These two days, support queer and neuro-variant communities. MAGA needs artificial gender rules, so screw with that. Dress the whole family non gender-conforming. Wear rainbows. Support queer businesses.

6/ SATURDAY: Ever wonder why this day is not named after a Norse concept? That’s because it’s Loki’s Day (“Lodurr’s dag” w/ Lodurr=another Loki name). So, leave your phone and other trackers at home. Cause mischief. Make them fear Saturdays. Saturday is for the Tricksters.
