JD Vance when people makes jokes about Charlie Kirk: "call their employer."

JD Vance when Republican staffers say "I love Hitler" and fantasize about throwing political opponents in gas chambers: "that's what kids do...we're not canceling kids because they did something stupid."

Send some funds to a Black trans academic who has been suspended from her job without pay for pro-Palestine/anti-zionist speech.

This action has resulted in her being stripped of her health insurance - a deadly action by a cruel administration, especially now.

Since the beginning of the war, the town of Alkoma — under RSF control — has been bombed at least 150 times by the Sudanese military.

910 days in, civilians remain the primary victims (and often, targets) of this war.

No one cares about civilians.Today’s update is proof enough.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

The "insurrection" photo they're using is so old the donut shop has a sign advertising their payphone.

Shame on CNN for pushing the false impression that Trump's bullshit claims of violent insurrection have ANY validity.

"President Donald Trump and his top aides are using the word 'insurrection' more frequently to describe anti-ICE protests in places like Portland," writes Zachary B. Wolf. https://cnn.it/4pWYmzr

It’s Black Speculative Fiction month, so it’s only right that I have [finally] made issue #1 of my comic, UNDEAD DUO, available to read online for FREE.

Please, give it a read!

globalcomix.com/read/d501429...

The cover of Undead Duo #1.

It depicts a Black woman, ERA, in a tattered dress, holding a curved blade that resembles an Ethiopian Shotel. Directly behind her is the title, UNDEAD DUO, in all caps, with a red line that looks like a life plus running through the text. A little further behind Era is the wreckage of a red car.

At the top is the name of the contributors to this comic: BA Spann (me), Khalid Johnson (artist), Jamesia Bly (styling).

So ICE shot a woman in Chicago today during a traffic jam. Supposedly because they realized she had a weapon but also because she was allegedly known to have been encouraging beople to harass and attack ICE agents. Uh huh. Sounds totally reasonable.
