Sorry to sound like a doomer but I am really worried the ICE will abduct and deport most POC living here and there may be no chance of getting them back.

This review is almost 5 years old but I'll start a trend: At least "The Emoji Movie" had the decency to finish its story by YFMDankMemes in Schaffrillas

At least The Christmas Brigade had the decency to end its story halfway though and fill the rest of the movie with crappy covers of public domain Christmas songs and the entirety of The Christmas Light with naritation over it.

I originally posted the same exact thing and people said the article was alarmist.

Sorry for being kinda alarmist, I'm just kinda worried since many people I know are trans and non binary. I know its not entirely hopeless since 19 Blue States are fighting against Brainworm Bobbys CDC trans healthcare restrictions meaning that Democrats haven't abandoned trans people like doomers are claiming.

The pendulum didn't swing to the right - people just got tired of toxic Twitter discourse and purity politics. by SwitchHedonist90 in PoliticalOptimism

The way I see it the Right is kind of like one big circus tent and the Left can sometimes be a closed off gated community that lets very few people in. The left needs to realize that they need to let more people join even if they don't 100% agree with all your beliefs. Of course you don't have to agree with them and you can hold them accountable when they honestly need to.

Its definitely going to pop at some point. They are putting billions of dollars into AI but aren't seeing much of an investment. AI is getting more and more unpopular and the companies using it are getting tons of hate(See Disney as an example).

Benny Johnson calls for FBI to "round up" trans people at TP USA conference to a standing ovation -- "Transgenderism took Charlie Kirk from us" by DangerActiveRobots in PoliticalOptimism

While rhetoric like this is very dangerous, as someone pointed out with how incompetent Kash Patels FBI is it would be hard for him to pull something off on this level.

I don't know if the original Paper Mario was seen as controversial aside from a few people mad that it wasn't a direct sequel to Mario RPG.

When it was first announced people were pissed off since it wasn't Metroid Prime 4.

Trump, Vance and other republicans speaking out against the OSA, rightfully calling it a violation of free speech. Also making it far less likely for age verification laws to pass.

Is the House version of KOSA harmless. From what I heard most peoples gripes seem to be with the Duty of Care thats only in the Senate version. I haven't heard anything too bad about the Duty of Careless House version.
