Absolute garbage.

Call your reps and tell them NO BODY CAMS, NO TRAINING - ICE CANNOT BE "REFORMED." ICE OUT OF OUR CITIES, THEN DEFUND AND ABOLISH ARE THE ONLY OPTIONS.

Find your reps here: reps.fyi

They are giving ICE *MORE* money with these garbage "reforms." More money to HURT US.
New constraints on DHS include $20 million that must be used to purchase and operate body-worn cameras for ICE and CBP officers, a directive for DHS to provide de-escalation training for ICE and CBP agents, as well as training reminding officers of Americans’ right to record any interactions they have with them. Many videos have gone viral on social media displaying the aggressive behavior toward people recording ICE in the streets of Minneapolis.

My contribution (a little late) to the #ICEOUT #ICEOUTMPLS comic posts. My experience with ICE in my city so far, keeping the language as vague as possible to protect the groups on the ground helping people here.
Digitally-drawn comic panel in tones of blue, showing a map of southern Minnesota with several cities marked: St. Cloud, Willmar, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Rochester, Mankato and Albert Lea. Boxed captions say "We're an hour south of MPLS, a blue dot in the MN valley with a large immigrant population." Digitally drawn comic panel in blue hues, showing an angry crowd of city residents in the foreground, silhouetted, a police officer sitting at a table and shrugging in the midground in medium blue, and a semi-circle table of council members sitting in front of 3 limp flags in light blue in the background. Captions say "After ice pepper-sprayed civilians in old town last week, we packed a 3.5 hour city countil meeting, begging the head of police to use their $2M budget to stop kidnappings." Panel showing a person looking around on a street while removing a paper grocery bag from the back seat of a sedan, with captions saying "It basically feels like we're on our own. But we're tenacious. People are taking part in mutual aid and filling needs as they arise, regardless of weather." Panel in various blue hues, showing the view from the driver seat of my car with my gloved hand resting on the bottom of the open window; an elderly person has reached out and placed one mittened hand over mine while the other holds a whistle. The elderly person has a speech bubble saying "You're here to help?" My speech bubble says "yeah" and theirs responds "me too." The captions say "I ran into myn neighbor, who I rarely see, when several of us were keeping watch at our local elementary school. Things feel scary, but not lonely."

I recently learned of the synthetic element Californium, and frankly, I can't believe that the Red Hot Chili Peppers haven't done a whole album about it.

Ryan North & Erica Henderson's DANGER AND OTHER UNKNOWN RISKS. @ryannorth.ca and @ericafails.bsky.social make terrific comics together or separately so it's no surprise I loved this. What if Y2K actually destroyed the world, but... magic? Daisy the talking Chow Chow rules, please read the alt on #4
Cover of DANGER, our hero Marguerite carrying Daisy away from an avalanche of random stuff Daisy telling a new friend, "And oh yeah, I'm a talking dog. SURPRIIIIISE" New friend Jacin saying about magic, "Wait, is that what lets your dog talk?" Daisy says, "No, I was born this way. And please don't address me as if I'm not here." Jacin: "Sorry, Daisy. You're my first talking dog." Daisy, adorably: "Apology accepted." Marguerite asks Daisy and Jacin, who are both reading, if they're coming outside to look at the stars. Jacin says "They're nothing I haven't seen before." Daisy says, "Oh no, this history of dogs is far too captivating. It begins by saying all dogs are good, and then stresses that 'this is canon.'" Is this from an actual book?? I must know, please tell me

A panel from the Hellboy comic "The Corpse" by Mike Mignola. Hellboy stands, the only red element in a sea of blue/gray. Standing just next to a silhouetted gallows, he speaks to the three magical lil' guys carrying a dessicated corpse in the foreground: "Hello boys. I'm looking for a baby."

Want a great example of how tariffs have created or emboldened soaring prices?

Last year I got a storage shelf from @homedepotofficial.bsky.social on sale for $29.99. Same shelf this January is $65.88.

Unsustainable.

Abolish ICE. A little journal comic from South Minneapolis.

#iceoutmpls #iceoutcomics #iceoutofmpls
Just before Christmas, I got a puppy. Her name is Minerva, and we call her *Minnie. I'm still learning how to understand her. Me: Do you need to go outside? Do you need to go outside, little baby? Do you need to do a poo? Do you need to do a widdle piddle? Minnie: Arf! *I just call her "little baby" most of the time. I'm also realizing I can't turn off the baby talk now. Nobody tells you about that. I got so lucky with my first puppy. Her wonderful foster parents had her completely house-trained by the time we adopted her, so taking her outside for potty time has been pretty easy. I've got the puppy poopy routine pretty much down, now. Me, putting on my coat: Let's see... I got the little poopy bags, puppy treats for bribes, jacket, scarf, phone… I think that's everything… Oh yes! And my passport. I had been carrying around my passport for a while, but I knew it didn't matter. This is wrong. Nobody is required to carry around their papers. I became a US citizen when I was seven. Since I was born in a refugee camp, I was stateless. The US is the only nation where I've ever held citizenship. It's the only passport I've ever had, and it still felt important. Protective. I would hold it in my pocket like a talisman, like it might ward off ghosts or something. But I realized I was holding onto it basically out of superstition. ICE will pick up anybody. I know that. So I tucked my passport away. And I largely avoid leaving my house. I live a few blocks just South of George Floyd Square. I was in the neighborhood for that, too. And all the neighbors came together to protect each other. We're already organized. We'll do our best to get through this. Me, to my dog: I hope I can take you for a walk someday soon. Won't that be nice, little baby?
