Now, a very great man once said
That some people rob you with a fountain pen
It don't take too long to find out
Just what he was talking about
A lot of people don't have much food on their table
But they got a lot of forks and knives
And they gotta cut somethin'

- Bob Dylan

This pretty much how I feel about all this. Tell the truth and don't let people forget who he really was and what he said.

Guess We Shouldn't Do What The Right Did When Minnesota Democrats Were Murdered, Huh?
That would just be rude.

Leaving a job can be tough. You'll miss those people you've spent a lot of time with. Not leaving a job but instead moving to a different part of the building is worse. You still run into those people, but now it's like passing an ex in the hallway in high school. Play it cool, or excitedly say hi?

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

I sent her a response today: Washington state will not be bullied or intimidated by threats and legally baseless accusations.

America stands with Rep. Nicole Collier.

We will never surrender our country to Donald Trump, Greg Abbott, or any authoritarian stooge doing their dirty work.
Collier: I refused to sign and so I was told that I was gonna have to stay here on the floor. They have locked the doors. The sergeants have been instructed not to allow me to leave until I have a permission slip.

So I guess I've gone and drawn a political comic!

I didn't like the discussion happening around the recent protest so I wrote a minicomic about it.

There might be more. I have ideas for more.

You can download a printable version for free here: enchantedpencil.itch.io/activism-com...

Check out my itch to download these files and the previous comic, and get updates on future ones enchantedpencil.itch.io/activism-com...

Reminder that fascist supporters can be capable of changing their minds so leave this door open and try not to drive away potential allies with the way that you talk about members of the opposition.
Not even MAGA is safe. Fascists always need a scapegoat enemy.

absolutely horrifying: "Minnesota state senator John Hoffman in Champlin and Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman in Brooklyn Park were reportedly shot in their homes by a gunman impersonating a police officer."

The Marines can only guard Federal Buildings or Federal Officers, w non-lethal force (like batons / riot shields)
NOTICE: (ICE) are now trying to dress up as Marines & are shooting at protestors. LOOK AT THEIR SHOES (they don't wear military standard). They are roleplaying being tough guys to incite

Wow, this hit me unexpectedly hard. Saw her last summer in Minneapolis, she was so amazing! So sad ...
Absolutely devastated.

Her music came into my life at a very formative time and it’s been with me decades now.

In recent years, because of a dear mutual friend, I knew her. She was every bit the amazing person you’d imagine.

Just in shock.
