A cdrama and kdrama art and fic magpie, basically. I like shiny, pretty things. And hockey. Not much original content. I wasn't going to post politics, but needs must when the devil drives.

I just don’t think there’s been enough attention to this. Chancellor Merz is beyond shady here - and for a good cause. And Trump’s reaction - as though proof of his very recent immigrant roots is almost like kryptonite - reveals much about how to confront Trump about his actions against migrants.

A human combined the words “tedious” and “dipshits” to perfectly describe this dangerous sophomoric fuckery and that’s why I believe in human brains.

This is a fever dream. The city is not under migrant occupation. This whole thing kicked off because ICE began an intense operation across the city to raid Home Depots and nail salons and places where random undocumented immigrants might be going about their day working a job.

Newsom was not awful tonight. Said the right things with the right energy. And he's filing a lawsuit against the illegal NG deployment. Fingers crossed that this not sucking will continue

Ca Gov Gavin Newsom: “I have formally requested the Trump Administration rescind their unlawful deployment of troops in Los Angeles county and return them to my command… “This is a serious breach of state sovereignty — inflaming tensions while pulling resources from where they’re actually needed.”
