THIS WEEKEND! I’ll be back in the UK and exhibiting at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social ! You can find me at Table C14 in the Comixology Hall with quite a few of my books and comics. You’ll probably recognize me by the slightly confused look on my face. Oh, and a hat. There always seems to be a hat.

To fight communism, America bombed Laos more heavily than any country ever in history. It lost. It took in the refugees who managed to make it out. Now it has changed its mind and is shipping them back. What kind of government does this
A longtime Tucson physical therapist has been deported to Laos, the country he fled with family at age 6 in the 1970s. Vone Phrommany, 53, said he's arrived at a distant relative's home following five days of exhausting travel, while shackled at the wrists and ankles. tucson.com/news/local/s...

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.
We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.
We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Just called Senator @schumer.senate.gov and told him he is a disgrace, that I don’t care that he negotiated a public “no” to save his own ass, and if he can’t keep the caucus together on something as basic as healthcare for millions, he needs to immediately resign as minority leader. 202-224-6542

Let’s be clear: Chuck Schumer is the one ending this shutdown, no matter how the votes read.
Chuck Schumer is claiming that he’s voting no, while letting other Senators (Fetterman, Kaine, King, etc) do HIS dirty work.
He must be removed from his leadership & primaried for the sake of this country

I'm listening to Episode 500 of @xplainthexmen.bsky.social. The discussion of coming out as trans as a real life retcon, and social conditioning as your inner Comics Code Authority just blew my tiny non-binary mind. Thank you Jay and Miles for your wonderful podcast.

Let me be clear: if Chuck Schumer caves tonight, that will be the formal end of his career in Democratic politics.
The new generation coming into leadership has no tolerance for cowards.

The regime despises poor people, yes. And importantly it does not fear poor people as a political force. It's important to take both of these together to understand what they are doing with SNAP. They do not believe that they will incur lasting political costs for their current actions.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Okay, Ezra is confirming that he's hearing D senators are actually plotting to cave to Trump and end the shutdown WITHOUT any extension of the ACA, just a promise of a vote later down the line.
Call your senators, friends, NOW, and tell them NO DEAL without ACA funding!

I skipped this article for a while because I figured I'd read enough about the NYT's Mamdani coverage. I don't want to say the headline does the article a disservice - it is also very much about that - but goes well beyond as well
