I see a government office mostly controlled by one party demanding the representative from the other party being locked in the building unless escorted by the police as a threat. She can't even leave without those who answer to people positioning themselves as an enemy. Disgusting.

I can understand disliking her music, everyone has their own tastes, but... criticizing her for releasing music too often? Nah. That's absurd.

Yesssss. I completely agree with the sentiment. I need to play it again too. I used to have a save file right before the end fight sequence because it was just so fun...

I completely agree. We were told "this is the future of The Legend of Zelda" and I did not realize they literally meant it was going to be nothing but this for the next ten to twenty years. Even when the games had a stock formula, they all felt different... but now...?

If you ask me, they should have just done something entirely disconnected from Tears of the Kingdom instead. I know WHY they didn't, but they should have.

I've never posted on Imgur myself (because I ran into weirdness setting up an account to begin with and just gave up) but I always liked seeing Tiny around... and even I've noticed he's been a lot less active lately.

There's the quote I mentally paraphrase all the time. It is incredibly true.

Man. I keep finding everyone who I wind up bumping into in these spaces is around my age lately. Not complaining, just. Huh.

Believe me, I get that. My current profile picture was my first real piece of artwork in AGES and I'm struggling to go back and finish all of what it was for. Buh.

Didn't hear about this, which is even more frustratingly sad. Of course it didn't really break through to my corner of the internet/world.

If this person fired at ICE, then that's... not great. I will admit. The fact that these things keep happening and escalating though, it's just wrong. Cracking down on immigration in any way is not what we should be focusing on right now, and yet it is.

Labels can be useful, but they can so often be harmful. This was one such example. People were lumped together who didn't even know the others existed like they were an organized group.

The sad part is how those are so deeply intertwined at this point it's hard to tell them apart. They should absolutely be de-tangled from each other. Government is supposed to represent the people, not the businesses.

The USA, literally built by immigrants. On every. Single. Level. The founding of the nation, then our infrastructure. When we work together, the world is a better place. It's often that simple.

Yeah. Not ideal, either way.

Looking at our history books, it's hard to say... but there's a reason why we were taught about the "Trail of Tears". The USA has always been capable of that kind of cruelty. We can't just be complacent and let it happen.

Y... yeah. Yeah, I don't know a lot of the specifics of Canada's situation, but I've heard a lot of concerning things there, too. Not as bad as the USA, but. All I can say is, people can't just be complacent, or these things will keep happening.

If you ask me, that's going to be the long term fallout of the current political structure. No trust in anything the USA says or does anymore, not to the general public, but to those who should be our allies.

I hate to agree with you here, but... yeah. You know it's bad when for YEARS we've had lawyers say: "don't talk to the police." If you must, get a lawyer. Let the lawyer talk for you after talking with them. That's the situation in the USA, and has been for a long time...

My mom passed not long ago (don't worry I'm fine) and she left behind a lot of art supplies. Maybe... maybe I should get into those again and try to make something.

That just makes it so much worse. Reminds me of how Trump is putting forth a change that wouldn't even make birthright citizenship a thing. Disgusting.

Call it murder, call it manslaughter, this person got killed when being detained is what should have happened. Do you seriously think someone should die for not wanting to be thrown into a camp?

I literally didn't say that. What I'm saying is, empathy should be used in these situations. Cruelty should not be used as a weapon, compassion should be used to help these people. Compassion that is tempered with reality, sure, but compassion still.

He's being taken off life support. It killed him.

Can't disagree with that. The abuse in power was always there. Just had to see when it would go that far. If you ask me, that's the point. Push people to the point that this happens and put the blame on the victim. Makes me sick.

As tragic as these events are, we have to use them to fuel the fires of getting people involved to stop it. Make the suffering not go to waste. Give it meaning beyond the cruelty.

I think about just my stomach medication and the CPAP machine I need to be able to sleep without choking on stomach acid, and realize how little time I would last in one of these places. Not only does it make me sick, it would be a terrifying way to go.

I have no idea when this happened, but Canada's government should be up in arms over that. Get pressure put on the US government to stop, and use that incident (and others if/when they happen) to keep pushing pressure. If they keep happening, use them to fuel the fire to make it stop.

My family originated from europe, surprise surprise. Greece, Wales, Italy. In the grand scheme of things, my Italian heritage would've put me at risk, too. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

No, this is good to bring up, too. We need to know these things are happening, and where, and when. If we miss one, then we should spread information around about the other events, too. It doesn't take away from it, it builds the case for how bad it is. Every instance counts.
