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.

Stop judging yourself by the standards of evil men. Stop determining your goals according to theirs. There is joy and importance and meaning in the world, and their world is not the world.

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.
But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

The anti-ICE/CBP rally in Chicago's Daley Plaza has grown significantly in just the last half hour.
The crowd is spilling out into street; I'd say there's over a thousand people here at this point.

RIP Catherine O'Hara, far too young at 71. Wonderful comedic actress. Most will associate her with HOME ALONE, BEETLEJUICE or SCHITT'S CREEK, but I always remember her on SCTV.

If we are saved from this clumsy attempt to create Hungary and Soviet state television, it won't be thanks to Congressional media reformers (who pretty much don't fucking exist), it will be thanks to the incompetence of this weird assortment of nepobabies and brunchlords

The organizing principles of MAGA (why isn’t this cartoon character sexy, I want to sexually abuse children, antiblackness) are part of what make them so bad at media; their inability to succeed in the media marketplace is a core animating insecurity. They can’t stop stepping on this banana peel.

TikTok is under right wing billionaire control now. Plan your exit strategy.
This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.
Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.
Well, here’s a link:
