Patho 2 is about Land Back.

In FFVI you play as antifa. The main char has a metaphorical trans narrative and a literal aromantic coming out arc.

Persona 5's plot is apparently just "the Epstein Files would be bad if real".

All of the F&H guys are bi, and one of them is also Palestinian.
Look I know there's a lot going on right now.....but what in the fresh hell is this

@wyden.senate.gov @merkley.senate.gov Is this enough to get you on board with Abolish ICE? Reform won't help if they don't follow the laws already in place. Funding blocks are not enough--these people need to be out of the job and prosecuted before they start killing kids.
This is a good point re: Portland today

This wasn't on federal land

It wasn't when agents were claiming to do any enforcement activity

It was federal agents shooting gas at children and union families in the streets

Im not a lawyer, but I dont see how qualified immunity counts here

It's assault
People need to understand that this protest was approved by city. The fact that the public still got gassed & flash bangs shows that city does NOT have the public’s back.

Everybody who is looking for Minnesota funds to donate to tonight, Brennan is matching donations up to an as of yet undetermined amount, so please take advantage of his generosity.
For those who can, here are links to donate directly to local efforts on the ground resisting ICE's terrorizing of Minneapolis. Let me know what you donated to where, and I'll match it until I get a panicked call from my bank!

Amidst all this too, although I wanted to keep this particular message on dismantling and holding accountable DHS in particular, Dems need to fix their fucking messaging on immigration overall.

I'm a registered democrat. I love immigrants. I want them here. I want the path to citizenship easier.
Message I sent to my senators today:

"DHS murdered another citizen in Minnesota today.

I am calling on Sen. Merkley to oppose any appropriations bill that maintains ICE funding and supporting legislation that claws back the $75 billion ICE slush fund created by H.R. 1 last year.

Ever since I was in elementary school, Republicans have insisted--built their whole identities on the idea--that the lives of children need to be offered up in sacrifice to preserve the right of white men to carry guns with no oversight in case they ever needed to fight back against the government.
Minneapolis police chief Brian O'Hara says that the victim was a 37-year-old white man and US citizen with no criminal record and that he was a legally permitted gun owner.

*crying into my hands* why are indie European moody horror games with queer undertones so good?
January 18, 2026 at 2:40 AM
Pathologic 3 is truly one of those brain chemistry-altering games. I'm so starved for games that demand critical engagement like this. It's like a Nancy Drew point-and-click mystery meets House meets a 301 philosophy class meets quitting your job after having a psychotic break from reality.
Ok, work done. Time to play Daniil Dankovsky's Fun Steppe Vacation.

Every day, you can take one tangible action by donating a small amount or just boosting one of the items in here.

Also, it's not on the list but Immigrant Defense Network is based out of Minnesota and doing good work: immigrantdefensenetwork.org
I was desperate for some organization, so I put together a list of places you can donate or buy things for to support folks in Minnesota.

If you have places for me to add, please DM me.

As always, I only share stuff when actionable.

Renee Good's fundraiser I missed, and now it's more than exceeded its goal. I hesitate to call anything about this 'good', but I'm glad that so many people stepped up.

Let's do the same for Keith Porter's family.

Rest in power to Keith Porter who was murdered by an ICE agent in Los Angeles.

It’s terrible that his name is just now being circulated, but now that it is, continue to say his name.

Advocates argue that the off-duty ICE agent wasn't trained for the situation and should have called police and waited for them to arrive.
