Rümeysa Öztürk was grabbed off the street in my town one month ago.
This might be the saddest xkcd so far.
Fuck yeah, Randall!
I hope the neo-Schutzstaffel (that is, ICE) doesn’t come for Randall now, but I respect the fuck out of him for using his platform and popularity this way.
Is it the first ‘political’ one? (Not that this should be!)
I can’t remember many that reminded me it was a US based (I assume) comic.
Recently mocked the tariffs
If you click on the comic on the site, it goes to the YouTube video of her being grabbed.
Totally out of the loop. What’s goin on?
Trump is voiding student visas and illegally arresting and detaining students that speak out against genocide. The video linked is security camera footage of masked gestapo goons disappearing a student off the street.
I imagine there will be fuss over this, “politics” in XKCD, as if (with the author being an academic) a PhD student getting grabbed off the street in your town against the state’s wishes for something she published somehow isn’t relevant.
People bitching about politics are bad faith Nazis trying to appeal to ignorant folk who don’t know no better. Belittle them. Bash them. Tell them to go fuck themselves
