Kinda feels important to know that ReedPOP's parent company has ties to ICE. There's some things we can do in the comics community to make our voices heard. 1/3

Open letter from BookCon authors: reactormag.com/authors-open...

Check the RELX, LexisNexis, and ReedPOP ties yourself: www.relx.com
Screen shot of the open letter addressed to RELX CEO Erik Engstrom, Nick Luff (CFO), and Paul Ashton Walker (Chair)—explains: We are some of the authors that make events like BookCon—run by your subsidiary, ReedPop—possible. Another of your subsidiaries, LexisNexis, has a $22.1 million contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), supplying them with the data they need to surveil and terrorize our neighbors, friends, and families. We condemn any collaboration with ICE and call for the immediate termination of all contracts between RELX and ICE."

It could be really bad for Discord if Californians contact the office of the Attorney General to report the potential violations of CCPA and CALOPPA citing the recent breach from a few months back where 1.5tb of user data and millions of IDs were leaked, but who can say for sure?

Hourly Comics Day has MOVED!

It's the 20th anniversary and we're taking a stand alongside our Black cartoonist members and friends to demand a change to honor Black History Month- draw your comics on the 8th, not the 1st!

#hourlycomicsday #hourlycomicday #hcd
"IN OBSERVANCE & SOLIDARITY". Two black speech bubbles with white text read "HOURLY COMICS DAY IS NOW ON FEB 8TH. CARTOONISTS HONOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH. FEB 1 - MAR 1". There is an illustration of a black silhouetted hand raised and holding a pen in the top right, and an illustration of a nib pen and an ink well personified on the bottom right. The nib and ink are bumping fists. A URL at the bottom is "hourlycomicsday.com".

“Did they grow up under a rock??”

Yes. And the rock was probably put there on purpose by men who wanted uneducated people to control.

This is why we don’t leave any state or county or town behind. Nobody deserves to grow up under a rock. Especially one they would never have the power to move.

When I choose to see the good side of things, I'm not being naive. It is strategic and necessary. It's how I learned to survive through everything. I know you see yourself as a fighter. Well, I see myself as one too. This is how I fight - Everything Everywhere All At Once

Springfield (eating the dogs / cats) Ohio desperately needs your help with ICE.

Ohio Gov Mike DeWine said it will be “the next Minneapolis” as 15,000 Haitians (1/4th of the entire city) will have their TPS status prematurely revoked Weds Feb 4th.

A four panel comic rendered in yellow and blue. In the first panel, Emily sits at her desk at the office, holding up her phone and playing a podcast episode: The Worst Gift Ever Given by Push the Roll with Ross Bryant. The narration begins, “I’ve been getting back into reading/watching/listening to horror.” In the second panel, Emily is back home and sits on her couch, back to the camera and focused on the tv in front of her, which is playing a YouTube video about the horror game Clock Tower. The narration continues, “it’s a kind of escapism for me right now.” In the third panel, Emily is dressed like Jennifer Simpson from Clock Tower being confronted by the Scissorman. Her glasses are broken and she looks in horror at her off panel attacker. The narration continues, “there’s something weirdly comforting about an unknowable evil, beyond our human understanding.” In the fourth panel, we cut back to Emily on her couch, eating Cup Noodle and looking at the phone that sits next to her, going off with alerts about ICE in different states. The narration concludes “it somehow makes sense to feel helpless against a cosmic entity or monster—versus the helplessness against very fathomable, very human evil.”

A four panel comic rendered in yellow and blue. In the first panel, a hand holds a tablet pen and draws on a surface, lining up with the narration. The narration begins, “I finish a comic about the day Alex Pretti was murdered and open Instagram to see that DHS agents have shot someone in Arizona.” In the second panel, we see a close up of Emily’s face, her eye in her glasses looking down at an unseen screen. The narration continues, “I open the news to see that the Doomsday Clock is now 85 second to midnight.” In the third panel, Emily floats in the middle of a dark panel in the fetal position, hands clasped to her face. Around her, the narration reads, “I think of childhood nightmares of the world ending, of the nothingness of death, of the fear of nonexistence, of being forgotten, of the billions of years in the future when the sun will expand and destroy the earth and none of it will have mattered and—“ In the fourth panel, we see Emily at her desk, clutching a mug with steam rising from it. The narration concludes, “I make hot chocolate before I have a full blown panic attack at work.” Emily thinks to herself, “warm means I’m still alive.”

A four panel comic rendered in yellow and blue. In the first panel, Emily attempts to take a selfie with a group of friends at a restaurant booth. Everyone attempts to crowd into frame, while Matt near the end asks “Emily do you want me to take the picture?” She abashedly replies “yes sorry my arms are short.” The narration frames the scene as being January 18th, and begins: “good times with friends.” In the second panel, Emily sits at home at her office desk, in front of her laptop. It’s January 24th, and her laptop screen is a social media feed with posts reading “ICE has shot another bystander in MN” and other similar posts. Emily looks on in horror. The narration reads, “contrasted with horrific acts carried out with tremendous cruelty.” In the third panel, Emily sits on her couch, wrapped up in a blanket and on her phone. She has several tabs open: her budgeting spreadsheet, mutual aid networks in Minnesota, social media feeds for doomscrolling. She looks up and to the left as her door buzzer goes off. The narration reads, “but it’s true that action is the antidote to despair—“ In the fourth panel, Emily embraces her friend, Em, who has arrived to hang out. Emily says “hi friend. today sucks.” and Em replies with a similarly exhausted “yeah.” The narration concludes, “and when despair won’t abate, we can at least give it welcome company.”
