Good on you!
Protesting this afternoon at the Whipple Building. Best part was hearing my sweet-as-pie wife screaming "BOOTLICKERS!!" at the top of her lungs.

ICE's occupation in Minneapolis has affected everyone that lives there, and today on SKTCHD, I wrote about what it's like for comic creators in the area, and how they're using their art to tell the story of the city from their perspectives.
What's it like to create during a crisis? I talked with members of the Minneapolis comic community like @trungles.com, @zandercannon.bsky.social, K. Woodman-Maynard, and more about making comics during ICE's occupation, the ICE Out Comics initiative, and more.

Liam was taken from Columbia Heights, the town just south of my high school in Fridley and just north of the Arts district in NE Minneapolis. I spent a lot of time with friends there after extracurriculars. News of his abduction completely broke my heart. I’m glad he’s home. #Comics4Liam

Had no idea this was a thing but gonna listen right this second
It's a big day for @brianmbendis.bsky.social as he makes his return to Marvel and the Avengers, so today, I dropped my episode of The Moment with him, as we talked about the stories behind Powers, Ultimate Spider-Man, Alias, and his Avengers run. This was a real good time!
In the latest episode of The Moment, my new video series on SKTCHD, I talked with the great @brianmbendis.bsky.social about the moment he knew four of his biggest projects — Powers, Ultimate Spider-Man, Alias, and his larger Avengers run — would work, and a whole lot more.
