Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

The complicated reality is there are 3 things happening simultaneously:
-Trump preternaturally understands the ebb and flow of the media and does perform for it
-His inner circle is in a mad dash to turn the US into a fascist ethnostate
-Like all authoritarian regimes, they're grossly incompetent
Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.

Trump is desperately trying to cause a Kent state. People forget about how he tear gassed the protestors in Lafayette Park

Trump is not popular, and institutions should stop pretending like he is.
Trump Net-Approval On:

Immigration: -23%
Venezuela: -24%
Foreign Policy: -24%
Economy: -25%

IS TED OK? has reached that supremely awkward time in its release/ordering schedule where issue 2 has been solicited well before issue 1 has dropped. It's just the way it is--obviously if you read the issue description you might have some plot stuff spoiled. It's a banger, though.

I always think of all the things we could accomplish if we weren't being effectively drained by people without conscience. The places we could explore with joy. The art we could make. Instead we have to constantly fight off leeches who think water & sunlight should be paid for.
Instead of ending the constitution and murdering people, we could have high speed trains and universal health care.

I’m Dave. I make comics and graphic novels. I would be thrilled to get more cover work or to talk projects for late 2026/early 2027. FWIW I do have a pitch in right now that, if it’s accepted, will push my timeline forward 6-8 months—but I am always planing ahead.

we don't have very much but we can strip anybody who works for ICE of any social niceties whatsoever. you find out somebody is with them? they don't get to be ANYTHING to you anymore. and tell them WHY. it SUCKS to be ostracized and stigmatized. please use it on somebody who's earned it for once

If you haven't read, "Murderland: Crime and Bloodlust in the Time of Serial Killers" by Caroline Fraser, it makes a very strong argument for the idea that lead poisoning is a recurring factor in violent individuals and serial killers. Sorry for the screenshot, but the OP doesn't allow reposts.
