So, politics isn’t for you? Maybe it should be.
Fascism doesn’t arrive overnight. It creeps in through apathy, silence, and the idea that “this stuff doesn’t affect me.” Graphic novels have always been a frontline medium; cheap, urgent, emotional, and impossible to ignore.

We saw the premiere of this and – and I say this as someone who does not usually care for musicals – it was fantastic. Had me in tears throughout (a good thing). Please contribute what you can to help make @emmavieceli.bsky.social's dream a reality
greenlit.com/project/unfo... Well - this is scary stuff, but what's the BEST than can happen? Every little helps towards our budget for a two-week rehearsal and workshop leading up to a London industry sharing for www.unfoldingthemusical.com xx Your shares and comments keep this alive. Thank you!🎇

This is, without qualification, the logic behind Judge Dredd. When you declare that an officer is 'judge and jury' combined, it stands to reason that 'executioner' follows.
When an ICE agent confronts you is "when your due process ends," says the member of Congress from the largest border district.

Silver is one of the reasons I keep my subscription to 2000AD. While the prog does stories based on 40-year-old characters, it also does new stuff like "what if your sci-fi dystopian war unleashed a grumpy vampire on the alien invaders?" (Also, a rare case of an older woman as an action hero.)
Silver: Unearthed "establishes a gruesome situation exceptionally well, not least by the addition of a vampire to a SF action thriller". Mad plot from Michael Carroll and exceptional art from Joe Currie.

In summary, huge speed up in bus times in city centre, slight increase on some outer roads; massive city centre footfall growth.
