I can't understand the boomer impetus to constantly pull the ladder up behind them in every possible way. This is how you kill an industry, but eliminating any way for new craftspeople to enter it. www.thegamer.com/epic-ceo-tim...

Hi #PortfolioDay!

I'm Andrea Nagai, and I'd love to draw a cover!

I'm known for drawing actual public defender portraits in front of actual American court houses in the style of the 1950's comic Public Defenders in Action.

Or at least I will be, if you'd so kindly give a comic art mom a boost.✨

If you are a veteran, this kind of visible presence at anti-ICE protests is really valuable.

These clowns all want to play dress-up soldier, so actual soldiers mocking them to their faces is devastating.

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

BREAKING: ICE killed a Minnesota woman in broad daylight & there must be accountability.

But when I moved to subpoena all records & footage related to this murder, Republicans voted it down.

They've never cared about law & order or keeping our communities safe.

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis.

Say bad things are bad.

As right-wingers (like Elon Musk) shout that "Japan doesn't need immigrants!!", JP media (and the right-wing Sankei at that!) reports that, in 2025, 397 businesses went bankrupt b/c they were chronically short-staffed. That's the fourth year up in a row & the highest level ever.

For months, Trump’s DHS has wreaked lawless havoc in our neighborhoods. Tear gassing infants, families, and police. Firing their weapons at peaceful citizens. Killing innocent people.

It’s brutal, unconstitutional, and out of control.

It must stop.

Kristi Noem must go. Now.
