If you support the Trump regime, we cannot be friends.
Unless and until you renounce your support and rebuke Trump and his acolytes, you are dead to me.

Goldman: "Will the survivors and victims who are here please stand up one more time. By show of hands, how many of you or your loved ones actually have met with the DOJ? None ... How many of you were ignored by the DOJ? All of them." (Bondi responds by smearing Goldman.)

The thing about kids asking about gay people is that most kids, when left to their own devices, will be more confused by anyone making rules that only certain people can kiss or get married than they will be by random people of various genders kissing or getting married.
always so funny to me when people are like “how am I supposed to explain Gay to my kids?” my kid asks me way harder shit all the time. “why did they build the road this way? why are some people bad?” I don’t know. please ask me about Gay

Columbia will never be free of this stain.
When Texas lawmakers tried to visit 33-year-old “political prisoner” Leqaa Kordia at an ICE facility, she’d already lost 50 pounds and was running a high fever.
By Friday, she was hospitalized. But her family still has not been able to locate her.

‘Political Prisoner’ Leqaa Kordia Has Been Hospitalized, DHS Says. After Calling 16 Hospitals, Her Lawyers Say They Can't Find Her.
The Columbia University protester had a fever when lawmakers tried to visit her last month — and her health is declining fast.

Is anybody ever gonna take a step back and realize the "Russia Russia Russia" people — derided as lunatic wine moms — were actually underplaying the foreign influence stuff, and the loud people who kept insisting it was all fake are now saying Jeffrey Epstein was kind of a cool guy?

The quality of art is not the quality of the art; if it were, art would begin and end w/photorealism. The quality of art is in the quality of the artist's observations. Some of the greatest novels have workmanlike prose; they are carried by jaw-dropping truths about human life. Or take cartooning--

Here is a thing:
There were several years when I was one of VERY few journalists seriously covering harassment and abuse issues in comics (and by extension sometimes video games). During that time, I became the Person People Told Things To.

The go-to tactic of politicians (not just GOP but centrist Dems who don’t want to deal with it) is to brush this stuff off as “fringe leftist activism,” so the fact that it is so quickly becoming inescapably fashionable & virtuous in so many normie spaces REALLY helps. SuperBowl chant let’s goooo

Fire every agent who does this. Publicize their names and notify the neighbors every time they move into a new neighborhood.
During the Vietnam War, U.S. troops regularly adorned Vietnamese corpses with “death cards” — either an ace of spades or a custom-printed business card claiming credit for their kills. Now, ICE is using them. theintercept.com/2026/02/03/i...

I love this so much! And it works so well as an homage to John Workman's SFX lettering. I started using it on INVINCIBLE #14, taking over lettering from, and apeing, Robert Kirkman, who was apeing Workman. 😀 I hope Pat doesn't cringe too much when I distort the font, now on BATTLE BEAST and CAPES.
I really enjoy seeing my WorkingMan font, which I designed for Blambot around 25 years ago, used so much by letterer Rus Wooton on Skybound's Invincible Universe comics! I designed this as a homage to John Workman's sound effects lettering which I've always loved.

I.C.E. detention centers are CONCENTRATION CAMPs, many of which are privately run and for-profit. And yeah, some were there before Trump, but that doesn't make any of this okay. Trump & the GOP are guilty of human trafficking. We need to dismantle DHS, ICE, and BP and start fresh.

If Trump regime chooses to change Georgia voters ballot results he can ‘validate’ his big lie that he won the 2020 election.

ICE's decision to just leave cars abandoned in the roads is one of those dystopian things that makes you recoil in shock when you encounter it.
A legal asylum-seeker who works at Chipotle and plays music at a church in Maine went missing. His pastor searched and searched, eventually finding his abandoned car with the keys on the floor.
ICE grabbed him. No criminal record. No explanation.

I need more people to remember that Democrats’ proposed reforms are linked to an *increase* in funding for DHS.
So no, things will not get better. Because with more funding comes more ICE, more weapons, more detention centers. There is no doubt that the harm will outweigh any good.
