No particular reason.
4 frame comic. First frame shows a set of keys, second shows the store Gummi with a banner reading, in German : Stamm und Bassermann / früher Gummi Weil. Third frame shows passersby looking at smashed storefront windows. Fourth shows a tweet by US homeland security that reads : Want affordable housing? Help report illegal aliens in your area. Call 866-DHS-2-ICE. If you are an illegal alien, you can take control of your departure using DHS.gov/cbphome . text reads : according to the Berlin Jewish museum, the nazi term "aryanization" referred to "the process of expropriation or confiscating Jewish people's property [businesses, stores, homes, land, etc] and handing it over to non-jewish ("aryan," in Nazi usage) individuals or companies, or to the state." in his book "Holocaust justice," Shoah historian michael bazyler estimates that between $230 and $320 billions (in 2005 u.s. dollars) in properties were stolen from Jews across Europe in the different waves of aryanization. the first wave, starting in 1933, involved heavy pressure on Jewish people to sell their properties to non-jewish people at a fraction of the price. after the pogroms of November 1938 ("Kristallnacht"), jewish owners were outright evicted and dispossessed. thinking about this today for no particular reason.

Today’s the day— THE TWILIGHT ZONE issue 4 is out in comics shops! A lot of work went into this one, and I learned so much about what to sharpen in my own stories.

This story was a custom request from Rachel, who loves limited settings & interpersonal family reckoning: “put it on a houseboat.”🏆

In 1946, cartoonist & illustrator Noel Sickles was sent by Life magazine to sketch the Nuremberg trials. Here is his sketch of the execution of Joachim Von Ribbentrop, who claimed at trial that his boss had made all of the important decisions, & that he was only following orders.

"The banality of evil" - Hannah Arendt
philosophybreak.com/articles/han...
The banality of evil: evil is not monstrous, it takes place under the guise of ‘normality’ The “banality of evil” is the idea that evil does not have the Satan-like, villainous appearance we might typically associate it with. Rather, evil is perpetuated when immoral principles become normalized over time by people who do not think about things from the standpoint of others. Evil becomes commonplace; it becomes the everyday. Ordinary people — going about their everyday lives — become complicit actors in systems that perpetuate evil. This idea is best understood within the context of how Arendt viewed our relationship to the world. We live and think not in isolation, but in an interconnected web of social and cultural relations — a framework of shared languages, behaviors, and conventions that we participate in every single day. This web of social and cultural relations is so all-encompassing in shaping our thought and behavior we are barely conscious of it. It only becomes noticeable when something or someone doesn’t conform to it. For example, if you were invited to a formal dinner, and proceeded to forego cutlery and eat your meal with your hands, you’d draw many a strange and disapproving look — perhaps you’d even be asked to leave by the more militant guests, for whom ‘eating with cutlery at formal dinners’ is such a deeply ingrained principle as to be worth defending with vigor.

A nurse was directing traffic to safety. A nurse was trying to help a woman who had fallen. A nurse who works with veterans, a nurse who deals with law enforcement regularly in his field was shot in the back several times.

You can't hide it behind this excuse or that supposition anymore.

I don’t know what to do with everything I’m feeling right now, this anger. Just going about the rest of my day as if I didn’t just see what I saw feels so wrong to me but I have no clue what to do next and my head feels like it’s going explode.
