Sal Buscema has sadly passed away, one of the great comic book artists of Marvel, his brother John also a giant. Both legends of comic books. Rom is one of my favorite characters.

Okay, what the fuck with the circular firing squad on #BlueSky going after a good writer, truth teller & veteran like Jim Wright. This does not make an already difficult platform to create community, very cool at all.
Block me if u did this. People who are progressive, boomer or not, we need all!

Sad to see Stonekettle (Jim Wright) leave @bsky.app because something he wrote was taken out of context and he was made out to be something he's not by a bunch of vile, herd-following mindless creeps. These resistors and otherwise "good guys" proved they're just like the opposition. Brainless.

TikTok is under right wing billionaire control now. Plan your exit strategy.
This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.
Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.
Well, here’s a link:

This is from the NYT masthead editorial about the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. The highlighted line invalidates not just the editorial, but the very idea of newspaper editorials crafted by the consensus of a board. Better to publish nothing at all than to publish a line like this.

All of it lies. Footage doesn't support any of this. Not one word.
Greg Bovino accuses the man that ICE just murdered in Minneapolis of "approaching them violently with a 9mm handgun" and says CBP "fired defensive shots" because "he wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement. Then 200 rioters arrived at the scene."

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

Repeat after me - the institutions of this economy depend on the institutions of this democracy, among which is the rule of law
Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

The bizarre latter-day Garland apologism we’re seeing is shocking. Dems behaved from literally day one as if they didn’t want to prosecute, dragged their feet and hemmed and hawed, and when the clock literally ran out, people are saying “Oh this proves there’s nothing they could have done.”

The thing is that they actually do this all the time. "For me, it was Tuesday."
I keep thinking about the number of people that have to be involved to kidnap a small child, transport him to one facility or another, then an airport, then a plane, then another facility. Did no one on that chain stop and say hey what the fuck?
If only they had had time for the "don't kidnap 5-year-olds and send them to detention centers 1000 miles away from their families" training module
