So I guess I've gone and drawn a political comic!

I didn't like the discussion happening around the recent protest so I wrote a minicomic about it.

There might be more. I have ideas for more.

Alright soldiers. We are going to be taking a break from social media this weekend, keeping our money in our pockets, and reconnecting with family and community. This is a marathon, not a sprint, so go refill your tank (and flip some flags).

We are facing the most brazen rollback of civil rights in generations. The same forces that used violence against John Lewis and are back, with billionaires’ backers and authoritarian ambition.
