First they wanted to make lists of autistics. Now it's food stamp recipients. Who and what will be next? You know who made lists? Nazis. There's no reason for the government to require this level of personal data. Or at least, there's no good reason.

The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka. They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

Almost done with #macrossplus, & it is brilliant. Visually engrossing, amazing music, the perfect cyberpunk sequel to the OG #sdfmacross. It’s a little weird how built up & populated every thing seems to be just 30 years or so after an apocalypse, but it’s only just an OVA, I really should relax.

Finished #sdfmacross and almost done with the prequel, #macrosszero … 1) OG Macross is dated at points, and wildly varying animation, but is worth the watch for more than just knowing the lore. And while I’m sympathetic to Minmay, I NEVER WANT TO HEAR ‘MY BOYFRIEND IS A PILOT’ AGAIN!!! 🧵
