"... the hashtag has inspired several high profile mutants in the entertainment world, particularly mutant pop star Dazzler, to put up personal accounts of the discriminations they've faced growing up as mutants. However, the Mutant Liberation Front, or at least hackers claiming to be them, have seemingly hijacked the movement on several social media sites, using the hashtag while "doxxing", defined as "sharing the private personal information of an individual or group, anyone that has publicly spoken out against mutants. The internet has become a battleground like any city street..."
"... special diplomat Haller faced many questions arriving back in the United States today. She has stated she had no comments on Genosha's threat of war against the US. President Kelly's diplomatic relations with Genosha have largely been criticized as failures, and many in congress and in the public in general seem to be in favor of preparing for the inevitable..."
"... Reverend William Stryker, uncle to the late Donovan Zane, has lead a vigil lasting several days now on the steps of Congress and refuses to be moved until Mutant Registration has been passed. Public support is turning overwhelmingly in favor of registration as the nation mourns the young man, Donovan Zane, whose life was taken in the midst of a violent protest..."
"... with the coldest temperatures on record. Volunteers are urging everyone in District X to be extra careful as the season progresses, to regularly visit the shelters and soup kitchens, and to not try to brave the winter storms alone. They have also put out a mass call to anyone willing to help out, with food, blankets, and/or warm clothing..."
"... a nation on the brink of war. President Kelly addressed the nation saying that 2019 will not be a repeat of historical mistakes or tragedies. He says he refuses to believe the spirit of the American people are so willing to give in to bigotry and surrender to what is perceived as an inevitable war with Genosha. It can be stopped, he urged. He said we all have to look at ourselves and find the courage to do the right thing and love our fellow person, no matter what the circumstances. President Kelly continues to believe in his vision of hope for humans and mutants..."

no subject
I wasn't sure how to play the game last time, but next time, I'll be ready.
no subject
[Yes, amazingly he didn't come here to ask her about dorky card games]
no subject
I'm not a stranger to service disruptions. [But she doesn't say she participated, just to give herself some plausible deniability. Her concern is more about the possibility of being overheard, but...] Why are you asking?
no subject
[He concentrates, grows dog ears for a few seconds.]
We're clear. Because it looks like someone's opened that front. I don't feel like being counter-doxxed, do you?
no subject
[Rin sighs, leaning toward him slightly despite his words.]
Do you think it'd be worth it to give the talking heads a diversion? The way I see it, the less airtime Stryker gets, the better.
[It's a little frustrating. On the one hand, she can't say she has a problem with violent revolution—but on the other, she doesn't have access to the resources she once did, so if it comes to that now...]
no subject
[He leans in too, though not too close, to avoid another embarrassing recall. His voice is low and quiet anyway, so it doesn't carry very far.]
But I know very little about it.
no subject
There are some documents I might be able to leak. From Egypt. It's not as incriminating as I'd like it to be, but it could make for a good distraction.
no subject
Damn...if only I'd saved some things from the military myself...
no subject
I doubt there was a reason for you to think you'd need them. I was paid to get my hands on these. At any rate, I'll see what I can do about getting them out anonymously.
no subject
[Yeah he still can't quite call her 'mother'.]
no subject
[Logically, what he says is sound. It would benefit her to take him up on it. And yet— She's taken aback, not pleased to give herself an out.]
I'm the one who stole them. I'll be the one setting up the leak. I was going to ask what you thought about it even if you didn't. If you want to, you can wash your hands of this now and say you had nothing to do with it if I get caught.
no subject
I wonder if someday they're going to be painting your portrait in District X too.
[Not as morbid as it sounds. Not *everyone* in those is dead.]
no subject
Yeah, right. I'm not doing this to be a hero. I just don't like the way things are.
...And I don't like letting people take the fall for me, either. So if one of us gets caught, we both do.
no subject
[Liir, don't make it weird by comparing her to your mother.]
no subject
Ugh, whatever! Wondering about that kind of thing is pointless, so why don't you think about something that actually matters?
[It was already weird! Liir's weird!!]
no subject
[He's enjoying this, but he's playing a dangerous game.]
So what's in them, anyway?
no subject
It's a lot of research on mutants before we were called mutants, some of it going back thousands of years. Unfortunately, I have no idea why they're compiling it, or if there even is a reason. It reads like it's leading up to something, but...
no subject
Useful. It shows we're not just aberrations of the atomic age. Of course if I were Sisi Junior, I wouldn't want that getting out either...
[Egypt and Genosha weren't on great terms, after all. He was beginning to mentally reconstruct how she got here.]
no subject
[Hence why her group had been hired to look into it to begin with.]
oh damnit they're gonna summon Apocalypse aren't they
[He's thinking he might have to see these documents.]
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. DISTRACTION ACHIEVED.
