Kids found these drawings with robots and aliens that I did when I was maybe 19 and now they are screaming YOU MUST MAKE A COMIC. I keep telling them I sucked at doing scenes, that’s why it is just little guys in a blank space.

The first big fascist wave in Germany and Italy was driven by the humiliation and suffering of WW1. Our current wave of American fascism is largely driven by rich guys who want it to be illegal for you to laugh at them.
the fact that they saw Polanski as not being punished despite fleeing to France -- the fact that his social circle did not hold him accountable -- finally makes me understand why the elite media is insane about left activism at elite colleges: nothing anyone else can do to them matters.

Masked ICE agents are acting like they’re above the law. We must enact real reforms that ensure accountability from the top down.

NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.
Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade
The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

The only way the next democratic administration is going to do anything even somewhat resembling reforming and rooting out lawless thugs from ICE and elsewhere is due to sustained popular pressure. Otherwise, the instinct from the Dem elite to just turn the page and move on is going to be massive
A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Trump’s efforts to consume all the oxygen in each news cycle suggests that on his exit he will attempt to grab it all for all time - it will be no surprise if he launches catastrophe for the planet on that day.
