Three months ago today, a war began that no one voted for — and the cost has been paid by people who had no say in it.
Thousands of civilians have lost their lives. Thirteen U.S. servicemembers will never come home to their families.
Americans across this country and our city have watched prices rise at the pump and the grocery store, their budgets strained by a conflict launched without a single vote of Congress.
Every life lost abroad and every dollar squeezed from a working family here is part of the same reckless bill, handed to the people who could least afford it by those who will never pay it themselves.
I opposed this war from the first day. I oppose it still. It must end.
This is what I never wanted to see.
Kei Urana, the mangaka of GACHIAKUTA, just deactivated her account after heavy harassment from parts of the fandom — right after winning multiple major awards.
I’m genuinely disappointed.
She did nothing wrong.
I don’t understand how certain people can claim to love an artist’s work but then harass and attack them the moment they set boundaries or disagree with something.
Artists should never have to delete their social media because toxic fans can’t handle criticism or boundaries.
I fight every day against censorship and corpos trying to strangle artistic freedom… yet some so-called fans are doing the same thing by driving creators offline.
This behavior is shameful.
Protect artists.
Stop the harassment.
