📚NEW INTRO POST📚

I'm a Minneapolis-based cartoonist and educator. I've cartooned about my experiences growing up with #ADHD in RAISED ON RITALIN and BUTTON PUSHER.

My newest book, EXTRA LARGE, deals with bullying, body image issues, and gendered expectations.

Minneapolis City Council is leading The Resistance.

Minneapolis Mayor is inviting the Border Czar into our City Hall and allowing their SUVs to park in our bike lanes.

Mayor, five weeks ago: ICE get the fuck out

Mayor, today: hey, kidnappers and murderers, come to City Hall!
Minneapolis residents have been very clear: being a sanctuary city means no collaboration with ICE and federal immigration enforcement. City Hall is meant to be a space of and for the people of our city.

I mean, at some point it seems only reasonable and fair to ask this. It's not the first time and we waste money going to court. I'm over going around and around on this. When do we get off this fuckaroundabout? Retaliation by means of withholding essential funds is getting old.
When do we stop paying federal taxes as a state? Serious question @governorwalz.mn.gov

Knowingly violating our separation ordinance, and endangering the people that work in and around it, violates our shared values and the trust that residents imbue us with as elected officials.

Put another way, we could get rid of corn ethanol, switch 30% of the freed-up farmland to solar to generate 100% of US electricity, and use the other 70% of the freed-up land for whatever we want.

Imagine if we used our knowledge and immense wealth to solve completely solvable societal issues so that we wouldn’t live in such a paranoid state that our Amazon-delivered tchotchkes would be stolen that we need to put up a doorbell camera

It is. The Jewish Musuem in Prague has a collection of children's drawings from the Terezin ghetto. It was the worst thing I've seen in my life.
“Collection of Handwritten Letters from Children in Detention Center” sounds like an exhibit in the Holocaust Museum.
1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

This whole "cooperating with local law enforcement" is a false narrative anyway. There is no "cooperation." ICE/CBP are coming in and doing whatever they want which is about catching a certain number of people each day, not about finding "the bad ones."
Throughout this clip, Rep. Steil says over and over again that masking wouldn't be necessary if local governments cooperated with ICE. But that's nonsense. ICE is masking even in red states, even in places where there are 287(g) agreements, and even hiding their faces in photos taken at prisons!
REP. STEIL: Some Dems demands put at risk the safety of members of law enforcement

CNBC: You mean like taking off their masks and having a badge that shows who they are?

STEIL: Well, they're known to their supervisors

CNBC: No other law enforcement officials in the US are allowed to wear masks

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.

1. I.C.E agents have no regard for public safety whatsoever. I have witnessed them speed through intersections in 20mph zones, run red lights, shove elderly people and children to the ground, leave tear gas canisters and flash bangs wherever they go.

Hi all, there are a lot of things to be said about the chaos, kidnapping and murder, that is happening in the state I live in right now. I want to highlight some things I have personally seen in the last month or so out on the streets in Minneapolis.

Yeah, I am absolutely not worried about riots or buildings being set on fire.

I am worried about my neighbors being fucking shot.
Counterpoint: no serious person in the Twin Cities is worried about any meaningful amount of "destruction" by observers/protestors. Get real.
Friends in Minneapolis are very worried about this development. Both in terms of state police's role in arresting protestors and the worry that this could set off the kind of spiral of distrust and destruction that followed George Floyd's murder.

I hope folks grasp the fascistic resentment underpinning this shit, and the fact that there is nothing these AI robber barons would like more than to automate human creativity because they resent it and wish to devalue, own, and control it and us.
The whole article is repulsive but this passage is at the core of it. She has no interest in writing books, she wants to win some kind of competition that nobody entered

My interpretation of why this works is that Taylor Swift's music has always been a combination of pop-punk/emo and rap, masquerading as things that are...not that.
Today I found out about the existence of Taylor More Swiftly, a ska punk supergroup that only covers Taylor Swift songs. "The new Oizone" some people (me) are saying.

I cannot stress this enough: you want to write a book? Write it. Do it now. Don’t wait. There is never a perfect time and you don’t need anyone’s permission. There are always dragons ahead. Not to be dark, but the cliff awaits. Write it in scraps, in voice notes, in a crappy notebook...

They didn’t nominate “the city,” they nominated THE PEOPLE OF the city. The distinction matters, not least because “the city” seems to have forgotten that the whole damn metro area is resisting the occupation, which is something THE PEOPLE of Minneapolis are constantly reminding out-of-towners
The bravery, resilience and sacrifice of many in our city to protect and support vulnerable communities show the world Minneapolis’ values. We’re honored the city was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize – and it’s because of your courageous solidarity to promote democracy, human rights and peace.

hey there’s a federal force abducting a ton of my neighbors and killing the ones who try to intervene. they appear to be doing this with impunity. do you know where our senator is? i was hoping she’d care enough to try to help.
I had the opportunity to speak with the Speaker of Ukraine's parliament Ruslan Stefanchuk about our shared commitment to democracy and freedom.

We discussed the bipartisan legislation I led, which passed in December, to help Ukraine track down children kidnapped by Russia.
