One good thing about the Fandom is that it transcends borders, from New York City to Shanghai & everyone is connected through the internet. I hope we can come together to build a fairer more inclusive world where everyone has a chance to succeed no matter where they come from or their background.

I think about the aftermath back in 2014, where we came together to protect ourselves not from the elements but to look out for one another to keep us safe. I can only hope that ICE stays far away from us, many of which are visiting temporarily or are still trying to call this country home.

Going back to MFF, they recently released a statement banning tacticool cosplay due to the current ICE raids not only in Chicago but across the country terrorizing local BIPOC communities who are not being exploited by their bosses but also a xenophobic country that refuses to reform immigration.

It's important to note that the majority of political violence & violent rhetoric has come far right & to reject the false equivalence that the left is just as guilty when they stormed the capitol & are trying to erase our most vulnerable members who have the least to fight back.

While we still don't know the motive of the attackers, whether political or otherwise, there has been a concerning increase in political violence not in the US but across the world from Minnesota's Melissa Hortman to Charlie Kirk & the conspiracy theories from "OwO" what's this?" on a bullet casing.

I recall the Midwest FurFest 2014 chlorine attack over a decade ago injuring 19 attendees which was sadly never prosecuted & worse was treated as a joke by MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski when people could've been severely injured or died in what could've been an act of terrorism.

He really went "Double it and give it to the next person"

Apparently Rebecca Kadaga is the First Deputy Prime Minister not Prime Minister as claimed on Wikipedia which I didn't catch at first but at least it makes me better than Cuomo who has been & continues to blatantly lie about everything in a desperate attempt to become the next mayor

MAGA claiming inflation is out of control because of Furries:

When fascists talk about deporting "illegal" immigrants back to their home countries, they were once "illegal" themselves when their ancestors came centuries ago who engaged in the genocide of those who really were here first & have been fighting the longest which we will continue.

Something that I'm proud of Italians for that more people should know is how they resisted founder of fascism Benito Mussolini's dictatorship spanning 2 decades until his overthrow during WW2 which we can & should learn from not just in America but across the world.

The discrimination against people based on characteristics they can't change like ethnicity & the trauma have suffered isn't something anyone should go through & we need to come together to reject the camps that are made to divide to distract from the real issues.

Across the world genocides have been subject against Native people across generations in countries across the globe especially the Palestinians in Gaza with a ceasefire that I hope holds this time & starts a process of lasting peace in the Middle East.

I've grown up with Italians where Columbus was celebrated while Natives were nonexistent due to the genocide pushing them out west & while Italians have every right to be proud of their culture & heritage, so do the Natives with their genocide needing to be acknowledged & reconciled.

As are most "influencers" who only got popular because of their wealth by being born lucky with the right genes into the right family & having the right connections

I'm shocked that grifters like him not only have an audience but those who are willing to give them free money from the parasocial relationship they've built while actually talented creators remain in obscurity struggling to get by thanks to social media algorithms

At first I thought it was Sotalo since he was religious before leaving the church but I looked it up & turns out Garo really went down the "Jesus Christ is our lord & savior" path that JiDion also did between going from a "prankster" to a predator "hunter"

"I've grifted my stupid audience of pay pigs' piggy banks with a sob story about how I got fired & about to go homeless with 1 foot in the grave without insulin for my Type I diabetes to spit in their faces about attending a fur con which they'll enjoy"
