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.

i started researching Russian disinfo networks in 2014 and writing about them in 2015 and the sheer amount of smug online assholes who dismissed every piece of reporting as CIA propaganda or whatever will never not piss me off
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--

Jay is one of the bravest people I know.
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.

Abolish ICE in its entirety. Never vote for a Republican. Demand the MOST YOU CAN IMAGINE from every politician. We can do better. We must do better.

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
Wow! What sounded like the entire AEW Dynamite audience in Las Vegas tonight chanted "Fuck ICE! Fuck ICE!" in unison before the main event

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.

Theyre taking hundreds of boxes of voter ballots from Georgia.
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.

This is a direct result of hundreds of thousands of people across the nation demanding that our Senators vote no.

I agree that it’s high fucking time that we stopped acting like we need to grovel and constantly justify the existence of some of our most incredibly elemental and ancient human pursuits.
Are the humanities the only disciplines whose classes begin with modules speaking to the importance of studying the humanities? "Why study the humanities?" and "Why the humanities are important" must be cliches.
