LUIGI MANGIONE UPDATE (23/1/25)

Synopsis: Love and solidarity for Luigi transcends prison borders

Earlier today: Someone who was incarcerated in the same prison as Luigi Mangione (the previous location of Huntingdon Pennsylvania) has revealed what it was like to share a prison with Luigi at that time. This update is new because only now has someone been released from prison who was one of the inmates at the time, and they are currently sharing their experiences with this case.

They detail how the entire prison went into lock-down mode anytime Luigi was escorted from his cell. No one was allowed to move until Luigi was safely escorted from any one place to another. He was kept in a blue padded suit (different from the orange jumpsuits everyone else wore.) and it is said that this type of suit is to prevent self harm. They took extreme precaution with him that other inmates had never seen before. No one was allowed to interact with him.

Back in December 2024, the entire inmate population in Pennsylvania had already heard about Luigi's alleged acts of heroism as many inmates had access to television and were permitted to watch the news. But despite major news outlets attempting to steer the public perception of Luigi Mangione towards a much more negative one, all of the inmates had already seen through the deception and recognized him as a hero. Rumors began that Luigi Mangione was now located somewhere in their prison, and it became gossip of the entire inmate population. People couldn't believe he was in the same building as they were and speculated as to where they were keeping him. They exchanged word of mouth about how poorly he was being treated and the idea made many of the inmates upset on Luigi's behalf.

Then news reporters came. Prisoners initially began using a tactic of blinking the lights in their cells to communicate with reporters, answering yes or no questions, and then eventually blinking just to show solidarity with other inmates in agreement of their support for Luigi. The inmates were swiftly punished by the prison staff for doing this. Inmates were told they would be placed in solitary confinement as well as have other punishments—some reports say reduced food privileges—if they were to keep talking to news reporters. However, these threats did not deter the inmates. Instead, inmates stopped using their blinking lights so the prison staff could no longer single out which cells were responsible. Instead, they began communicating via shouting in unison as loud as they could. The shouts could be heard throughout the whole prison and beyond the prison fences. They were shouting to reporters that they demand prison staff treat Luigi Mangione with more kindness, improve the conditions he is being held in, and allow him to watch television as he is being barred from access to entertainment while incarcerated. Most importantly, they shouted "Free Luigi!"

Some inmates were aware their voices were likely too faint or drowned out by all the others. But all of them shouted anyway because they felt like Luigi Mangione was giving them a voice that they did not normally have as prisoners. Inmates were incredibly happy to be part of this.

The released inmate in question is quoted as saying "His brothers here will intently follow his case as it moves forward through the criminal justice system, all the while telling anyone who’ll listen, if it had been them, what they would have done to keep from getting arrested in the first place." They all talk about what they would've done differently if it meant they could save Luigi. They all agree that they were part of something historic and remember the event fondly.

_

Later, at Luigi's re-location to MDC where as of this post he still resides, public supporters of Luigi Mangione came to hold a noise demonstration with the hope of keeping Luigi company on New Years Eve. Supporters were ringing bells, blowing trumpets, whistles, and banging on home depot buckets as makeshift drums while standing outside the prison. It appears that Luigi learned from the inmates of Pennsylvania on how to show solidarity with those outside a prison, because supporters quickly noticed the window of Luigi's cell began flashing lights. This was met with cheers as onlookers hope this means Luigi was showing the same solidarity for them as the previous prison had shown for him just weeks earlier.

These are snapshots taken from a now deleted video; the video of supporters was removed by twitter/x as part of a widespread censorship campaign to silence online support for Luigi.

Zxy blinked.

“Wh-What? I thought you meant… a-and I already said it’s not…!”

Where had that come from, all of a sudden?! Were they having the same conversation? It seemed like it, but…

Despite the cooler temperatures, Zxy felt a little walk was in order. He’d been going stir crazy alone in his house for some time, and he figured a little fresh air would do him some good. Maybe he’d wind up chatting with someone for a bit. Fill his social batter back up.

He didn’t expect to stumble upon what looked to be someone getting jumped.

“Seriously…?” He muttered to himself, stepping around a corner and peering out to see what, exactly, was playing out.

[purinfelix]

If you are accepting requests for Haikyuu could I please request Kuroo (or Kenma) with this prompt "Are you really jealous of my cat?" Of course you don't have to but if you do take as long as needed!❤️

third wheel - kuroo tetsuro ⋆₊˚⊹♡

a/n: i can't believe i'm writing haikyuu x reader in the year of our lord and saviour 2025 .... 2020 me would be so proud HAHAHA anyways thanks for the req anon i hope u like this! (it ended up being a lot longer than i had planned but i've always loved kuroo so i couldn't help it)

The question lingers in the air for a couple seconds after leaving his mouth - partially because you're stumped for an answer, but mostly because you're ashamed at being so plainly called out.

"Wh- no?" you scoff, trying to brush it off, rolling over on his bed so that he can't see the look on your face, "Why on earth would I be jealous of him?"

As students, studying together had become a common routine for you and Kuroo, ever since you had started dating a couple months ago. With your chemistry final inching closer, he had insisted on helping you out with some private tutoring at his place - an offer that had sounded too selfless for you not to accept.

Little did you know that, in reality, it involved you spending hours upon hours of going through practice questions and only getting short breaks when your boyfriend would look over your hastily scribbled, and most incorrect, answers. And to make matters worse, your 'private session' was currently being interrupted by Kuroo's calico cat and your sworn enemy, Leo - though if there was anyone third-wheeling you were sure it was you.

To set the story straight, you had been Kuroo's first love, at least before that cat had stolen him away from you - a stray he had taken in just a little over a month ago, but had since taken over his life. Already he had rushed the both of you back to his place just to feed it, cutting whatever night out you had planned short. At first, it had been endearing, the sight of Kuroo being so gentle with an, admittedly very cute, creature - but the more time you spent around it the more you came to resent the tiny ball of fur.

You were fully aware of how immature you were being - after all, you were his girlfriend and Leo was his pet cat. This was exactly why you had stuck yourself on the edge of his bed, watching with a furrowed brow as he read over your work - spinning a pen in one hand and petting Leo's head with the other.

"C'mon, admit it, you're totally jealous!" Kuroo's teasing tone snaps you back to the present, and to the fact that he's shamelessly confronting you.

"Don't flatter that tiny thing, we all know who you'd pick first," you scoff, though you should've known that your boyfriend's observance would be able to see right through your facade. Before you can think of another defensive quip he's standing up from his desk chair, making Leo leap off his lap with a high-pitched mewl.

He throws himself down beside where you're perched on his bed, gazing up at you with an expression that's equal parts amused and endeared.

"Don't deny it," he hums, "it's a little cute."

"It's ridiculous! I am not jealous," you continue your defence as you lean back on your elbows, but can slowly feel it slipping as he wraps an arm around your waist.

"Cute," he repeats through a smile, though this time it's more to himself than anything.

"Whatever," you sigh, trying to cross your arms but he's already pulling himself up to press soft kisses along your jawline, and you can't help but break into a reluctant smile. Once he sees you give in, you can feel his own mouth curving into a smile against your skin as you run your fingers through his hair with a soft laugh.

"Though your understanding of Avogadro's law could use some work."

"Shut up."

I feel like... there's a blind spot in white western-centered feminism when it comes to men. I don't fully know how to articulate it, nor is my opinion fully fleshed out, but I've been feeling this... discomfort, about feminist rhetoric for a while and only now do I feel like I have a few words to talk about it.

Specifically, I believe there is a blind spot in western feminism when it comes to the idea that misandry is not real.

A caveat before I continue: I fully agreed with the idea that misandry, as used by men's rights movements and anti-feminists, is a total misconstruction of what feminist theory is; these men do not fundamentally recognize that the root cause of their supposed "oppression" is, in fact, misogyny. That's like, feminism 101. The bad experiences that men face on an individual level that make them feel bad and oppressed are not in any way systemic or backed up by real threats to their personhood- the bad experiences they have are largely self-inflicted by themselves and their peers to inforce a "self-checking" ritual where men actively do things that are harmful to themselves and other men, and especially other women, specifically to distance themselves from femininity.

But... I was reading the news this morning and catching up on what I slept through in terms of the palestinian genocide, and... I guess with the clear mind of having just woken up, it just really struck me.

Palestinian men and boys are uniquely oppressed, systemically so, in what I can only get myself to describe as misandry.

I feel like there is no other word for it. Yes, palestinian men and boys are oppressed because they are persecuted by the israeli state and, like palestinian women and girls, are dehumanized and stripped of their rights, autonomy, agency, and self determination by a genocidal colonial settler project. But there's a specific type of cruelty that the Israel state inflicts upon palestinian men and boys. This is not to say that palestinian women and girls have it easy, or that they are better off. Palestinian women and girls also experience their own unique forms of oppression at the hands of Israel. I simply feel like... what happens to palestinian men and boys is so ignored and not talked about, especially in theory-centered groups which enthusiastically jump at the opportunity to do more theory.

In those images of Israeli operations of kidnapping and torturing palestinians, the people who are blindfolded, naked, kneeling, with their hands tied behind their backs, are men and boys. Of any age.

In the rhetoric in both leftist circles and in the media, in the very way we discuss statistics, palestinian men and boys and the violence they face is reduced to something less tragic, less alarming, less worthy off reporting on than women and children. The common talking points, which are not bad, by the way- that say things like "50% of gaza's population is under the age of 18" and "x number of palestinians have been murdered, (percentage) of them women, children, and the elderly", these phrases, intentionally or not, omit the violence that palestinian men and boys face.

Palestinian men are reduced to "millitary aged men", as if the only defining characteristic of a palestinian male is to be barbaric and violent. Palestinian boys are reduced to "potential future terrorists", as if there is something innately present within palestinian boys, like a terrorism seed in their brains, that is destined to bloom. Destined to turn them into terrorists the second they turn 18, a claim that justifies the maiming, killing, torturing, and cruelty that palestinian boys face.

The main justification for Israel's genocide, Hamas, is positioned as one in the same with palestinian men and boys. Hamas is positioned as the enemy, as the monster, as the evil, conniving, animalistic mastermind that wants to genocide jewish people because its in their blood to be barbaric in violent. That is so... cruel.

We are made to believe, regardless of which politics we subscribe to, consciously or not, that palestinian men and boys are not worthy of mourning like women, children, and the elderly are.

In my mind, there is no other word for this, this oppression that palestinian men and boys face on the intersection of being men and being palestinian, other than misandry. I feel like this should be discussed more, and we should seek to uplift and give the time of day, men's voices from circumstances in palestine.

(last minute caveat- there is a similar but not so obvious phenomenon, to my white ass at least, in america itself- black men and boys are uniquely persecuted, oppressed, and stripped of their humanity and personhood. Which I just wanted to acknowledge, because as I wrote this ask, it reminded me of FD Signifier's video about black men and boys. And... it's also something that white western feminism doesn't discuss.)

what do you think about using people’s preferred pronouns?

Here's what Scripture says.

There are two genders, man and woman. Period. You cannot change your sexuality. You weren’t born the wrong way. God created you exactly as He intended you to be. Rejecting that is rejecting Him. Saying He was wrong. And that’s a sin- pride. But then that pride leads to more sin of the sexual kind, which in turn leads to your entire lifestyle being sinful.

Sidenote: This kind of sin is literally no better or worse than other sin, to be clear. I really think it’s distasteful how so much of ‘Christian’ culture just slam dunks on LGBTQIA more so than other sin. Is it bad and should be called out? 100%! But that doesn’t make it worse than other sin. Having an idol is just as sinful. Being an addict to a substance is just as sinful. Having uncontrollable wrath is just as sinful. Having straight lust is just as sinful. I could go on. Basically what I’m saying here is that being queer shouldn’t be put into a separate box that gets extra hate from Christians because it’s ‘other’. Because THAT is ALSO sin. Christians who use the queer community as a punching bag and going after them with the Bible as an excuse are sinning just as much and are just as wrong about this.

So. That is all 100% Scripture. Up to this point, all Christians who believe in Gods Word should agree with this. But this next part is more of a gray area, and is now my personal conviction when it comes to this.

Whenever I'm talking to someone who identifies as queer and wants to be refered to pronouns that are not their biological ones casually, I try to use their name as much as possible. If I'm talking to someone who believes that they are a woman when they are in fact a man, if I say what they're doing is okay by calling them a girl, I think that is Not Great. Using a name feels different to me. So when talking to people as strangers or acquaintances, who I don't know very well, or at all, I'll use whatever name they call themself.

I think that some pronouns are utterly ridiculous to be blunt. I’m not going to refer to someone as an animal or fairy or other neo pronouns that are ridiculous. That is just TOTALLY wild to want to be referred to as not even human and I won’t refer to someone like that. That's where I draw the line. But also to be fair, I do not believe I have ever interacted with someone IRL who wants to be treated in that manner, so I am not as clear on that.

BUT- here's where I think some Christians might get upset with me.

At the end of the day I think it is better to use these pronouns, even if they are wrong, than to alienate these people.

Hear me out.

I know a handful of people who identify under the LGBTQIA banner- acquaintances who I interact with regularly, or even actual good personal friends who I love and respect for who they are and who love and respect me for who I am. Some are gay. Some are trans. Some are non-binary. Etc. All of them are very aware of my faith. And I am very aware of their beliefs. And in conversation with them or about them, I do sometimes refer to them by the prounouns they prefer. And because I have done this, it has directly impacted our relationship to where they respect me and like me for who I am, and because of that get to see the light of Christ in my life, rather than just looking at my faith, thinking 'She belongs to this group of people that openly that hates me and people like me' (whether or not that's true, that's what society believes about Christians unfortunately) and then not engaging with me.

Because the way they see it, their queerness is their identity. And if you directly (from their POV) hurt and disrespect and attack that by refusing to call them a 'they' rather than a 'her', then they won't listen to anything you have to say.

See, the thing about spreading the Gospel and preaching to the nations, from my experience, is that you first have to connect with someone on a personal level before you show them why they connected with you and what is different about you- Jesus. Yeah, there is street evangelism, but in my experience that only ever works if God has been working on their hearts already before someone stops them on the street to chat about Christ. It truly and utterly working to give someone a real and total conversion experience that sticks right in the moment is kinda rare. I certianly don't believe all the videos Christian influencers make on it. Otherwise its an emotional hit deal. Or it just alienates them further from Christians being so forceful on them. And so I think that if I can take the steps to connect with someone who is queer as a person first, by treating them in the way that they believe respect works, then its going to be a lot easier and nautral for me to introduce the subject of Jesus' death on the cross for our sins. They like me and respect me, so they'll listen to what I have to say when they see that it is important to me. Because that's how friendship works.

OR, this has 100% happened before multiple times, THEY have brought up the topic of sexuality and pronouns FIRST, before we've talked about anything beyond our favorite ship or the coffee we both order each time we go to this one special place. MULTIPLE TIMES, they've broached the topic of "Every Christian I have ever talked to before in my entire life has treated me with disrespect and refused to call me the way I want to be called. You are the first kind and respectful Christian to queer people I have ever met. Even though I know you disagree with what my sex is. You're still nice. Why?" And then from there I get to talk about what the Bible actually teaches and what God's rescue plan for us actually is and what it all means.

See what I'm going for here? On the one hand, affirming gender identity isn't ideal, but on the other, it is what can allow you to show them what the Gospel actually is. And that a lot of 'Christians' aren't Christian. And they are totally right that some people use it as an excuse to be hateful. 'Christian' parents who reject their gay children and cut them out of their lives are 100% wrong and sinning and WILL be condemmed for it. They are right about that. So by doing what I do, by refering to them in the way they see as respectful in certain cases, I've made connections, and planted seeds, and gotten them to understand why I believe what I believe. I've done what Christ has called me to do- preached the Gospel. Now it's up to Him and the person in question to do with that information what they will.

Now could I be wrong about this? 100%. I don’t know everything. But I have arrived at this conclusion not because it sounds good or is the easiest option, but through close examination of the Word, and through where I truly do believe that the Spirit has lead me in prayer. If someone who is spiritually mature with good moral standing who I respect wants to correct me, then by all means do so and I will listen and think about it, just like I would and have before with any other issue. But until then, this is my conviction.

Damian was on the other side as christel inhaled sharply. "Carol? Wh-what are you doing here? Damian? Wh-" Christel's eyes widened "the kids! Damian where are the kids!?!"

"With Artem, don't worry they will be safe with them" Damian spoke.

"What happened and why.. Why are you here mom?" Christel whispered softly. She looked utterly confused. "Your palm!--"

Artem arrives on the scene in a dark blue body suit with lighter blue highlights and a strange helmet. They also brought a metallic baseball bat and for some reason a hand held mirror. Their familiar is resting on their shoulder, focusing on the mirror.

The gang arrived on the batplane a few moments afterwards. "Artem?" Christel asked uncertainly in her voice. This was the first time she saw them in their hero suit.
