A refresher introduction for new followers or people going, "Now why do I follow this person again?":

Hey, y'all, I'm an editor with a specialty in comics and graphic novels. I spent ten years in the Bat-Cave and have done all kinds of cool things since then.

👇 important 🧵 about Surprise, Arizona residents urging City Council to oppose “a massive warehouse concentration camp in their community.”
Powerful testimony drawing a parallel to the complicity of a WWII-era mayor in Germany who disclaimed any responsibility for the concentration camp in the town.

A resident named Walter calmly took the mic and recounted an April 9, 1945 newspaper clipping about the liberation of the Ohrdruf concentration camp...

"And we don't know exactly how ICE will use this warehouse. But we know enough."
www.welcometohellworld.com/a-surprise-z...
“The U.S. Army brought the leading citizens of Ohrdruf to tour the facility, which turned out to be part of the Buchenwald network of concentration camps. A U.S Army colonel told the German civilians who viewed the scenes that they were to blame. One of the Germans replied that what happened in the camp was 'done by a few people,’ and ‘you cannot blame us all.’ And the American, who could have been any one of our grandfathers, said 'This was done by those that the German people chose to lead them, and all are responsible.'" "The morning after the tour, the Mayor of Ohrdruf killed himself. And maybe he did not know the full extent of the outrages that were committed in his community, but he knew enough. And we don't know exactly how ICE will use this warehouse. But we know enough. I ask you to consider what the Mayor of Ordruf might have thought before he died. Maybe he felt like a victim. He might have thought 'How is this my fault? I have no jurisdiction over this.' Maybe he would have said, 'This site was not subject to local zoning, what could I do?' But I think, when he reflected on the suffering that occurred at this camp, just outside of town, that those words would have sounded hollow even to him. Because in his heart he knew, as we do, that we are all responsible for what happens in our community.”

A good thing you can do about this instead of dooming is Google “how to become a poll observer in [your town]”

Some people are asking what I want Schumer to do. He should be screaming over medical care and access to facilities. He should be going to detention facilities himself and putting his body on the line, as he did at the border in 2019. He should lean into stories about New Yorkers in detention. [1/4]

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

BLACK HORROR MONTH ~ Day 4: TOM WRIGHT
Tom has been in a ton of movies and tv shows and he has gifted us two memorable horror performances, coincidentally both zombie-sque: the Hitchhiker in CREEPSHOW 2 (1987) & Martin Moorehouse in TALES FROM THE HOOD (1995) #BlackHorrorMonth #BlackHistoryMonth
Portrait of Tom Wright as zombie Martin Ezekiel Moorehouse, a city councilman and black rights activist that gets killed by dirty cops but comes back to get his revenge. Tom did also his own stunts in Creepshow 2 as the hitchhiker

A manager for the Immigrant Defense Network told MPR News that back in November, 2,500 people were trained as constitutional observers. Now, the total is nearly 30,000 trained observers in 77 of Minnesota's 87 counties.

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

I've told this story on ContrabandCamp but it's worth sharing for BHM because it's one of the greatest stories ever.

This indifference or enthusiasm for sexual violence is a cultural pathology born of misogyny, not a peculiar or unique degeneracy of the rich. You know people who have responded to rape like that.

I understand the reasons why it’s more jarring and consequential to see it happen among billionaires, but the kind of shrugging disinterest or impishly approving encouragement of sexual abuse among Epstein’s circle is the same dynamic that happens in less powerful milieus.

Cartoonist & illustrator E. Simms Campbell (Jan. 2, 1906-Jan. 27, 1971). The 1st Black cartoonist published in a national magazine, his work appeared in Esquire, Playboy, & more. His comic strip, Cuties, ran from 1940–71, but he is most known for his 1932 night-club map of Harlem. #BlackHistoryMonth
A black and white photo of Campbell looking up from his drawing table. A cover he did for Esquire magazine, which shows a couple sitting together in the snow on a park bench while a cop walks by, next to a painting of a Jazz band playing before an audience in a club. The famous night club map of Harlem that he designed. First published in 1933.

I have currently found a channel replaying these episodes, and I can't tell you all how much of a delight it is to revisit them. Jeremy Brett OWNED.

I made this tribute poster to celebrate the Granada Sherlock Holmes series starring Jeremy Brett 2 years ago and it is good. Lots of very specific details from the show. I don't often feel happy with my work but I was going back through old files and thought "people should see this!" So here you go.

Magazine cartoons are good.
An ESQUIRE cartoon. An angry woman in what may be fancy nightclothes, holding a recently fired gun, stands over what we see as the legs of a fallen man (the rest is cut off by the edge of the door). She's saying: "And another thing..." The clock reads 4, so maybe he came home late once too often.
