WICKED: FOR GOOD (2025, Jon M. Chu)

[rosethornewrites]

I live in Chicagoland and have family friends who are brown and undocumented. It’s not good here.

[rosethornewrites]

I want to specify that the US government ICE agents rapelled from Blackhawk helicopters to take over an apartment building, breaking open apartment doors in the middle of the night to drag barely-clad residents from their homes and detain everyone in UHaul trucks with the children zip-tied to each other. Regardless of citizenship.

There was too much traffic today, and an ICE agent deployed a tear gas canister in traffic in response.

This is not normal.

From the very bottom of my heart: what the ACTUAL FUCK

[rosethornewrites]

It’s not even near me yet, but where I live there’s lots of brown folks so they’ll come.

This is surreal. We’re being attacked by the United States.

Most mainstream media is barely covering it.

I genuinely wish I were surprised by that.

straight brain: Janis Ian was probably gay lol

lesbian brain: Regina George is the biggest lesbian in the history of cinema and she started the lesbian rumor about Janis to deflect from her own feelings and used hyper femininity and bullying to do the same when she entered high school in the rest of this essay I will-

[michaun]

in conclusion Regina and Janis will show up to brunch with Cady and Damian the day before their 10 year high school reunion arm in arm in these exact outfits

Joe Biden pulls out of 2024 US presidential race

Joe Biden has pulled out of the presidential race, saying it is "in the best interest of my party and the country".

:/

...Now the real work begins: to see off that other guy regardless.

ETA, because as usual John Scalzi says it well:

No. We're not fucked. There's no giving up, because if we do THEN we're fucked. Don't just give the fuckers the win, now or ever. Fight for yourself, fight for the people you care about, fight for the people who will be even more fucked than you will be. Be pissed that you have to fight. But fight.
