In the midst of all of this crap news, I’d like to remind y’all that I had a cameo in one of Dav Pilkey’s comics, about a year ago. It’s about my work on Fredric Wertham. Check out some of the images!

This #VeteransDay, EJI acknowledges the plight of many Black veterans who, instead of being treated as honored members of society upon their return from service, were often attacked, lynched, mistreated and abused.
Remembering Black Veterans Targeted for Racial Violence in the U.S.
Honoring those who fought abroad for our country, and at home for equality and justice.

In reporting this piece for @assignedmedia.org, it was striking how corporate media has similarly targeted people of color, and Black women in particular. WaPo’s disgraceful firing of Karen Attiah is Exhibit A.

"What’s the point of standards?" could be her slogan.
“I’ve been hearing that standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She also asked openly, ‘What’s the point of standards?’” one CBS source said.

As a player of sports throughout my youth I personally think the “problem” is that many people are massive sore losers with no sportsmanship. We need to get the horrible attitudes out of sports.
The International Olympic Committee is set to ban trans and intersex women from competition. This is despite the fact that for 20 years, the IOC has allowed trans athletes to compete and only 1 has ever competed and none have ever won a medal.

The reason why I'm so angry has a lot to do with the lives that will be lost — people are absolutely going to die as a direct result of Senate Democrats folding on health care. It also has a lot to do with the suffering that was endured — people were struggling to get by without food assistance. 🧵

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.
We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.

There is no universe in which Senate Republicans vote to extend ACA subsidies.
It. Will. Not. Happen.
All Senate Democrats can do is make it excruciatingly clear to the American people that this is the logical consequence of giving Republicans complete control of the government.

while most eyes were on greg bovino’s early morning photo op in downtown chicago this was happening 15 miles west in suburban melrose park:
video captured around 6:30 am shows a team in four vehicles detaining a person on lake street. one agent is seen rifling through the person’s car.
