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.

GOP crimes: ICE/DHS violating due process rights, human trafficking, DOGE killing thousands cutting USAID and stealing citizens’ data, extra-judicial  executions of alleged drug traffickers, manipulating an old man with dementia to push thru their fascist agenda. Just scratching the surface.

Every year, I have a list of holiday films and specials that I like to watch between Thanksgiving and New Year's, starting with one of my all-time favorite movies, 'Planes, Trains, and Automobiles'. Man, I miss John Candy.

If you start by saying how many people you are going to arrest, the entire operation should be enjoined. That’s not how anything should work.
Border agents are set to target communities in southeast Mississippi and Louisiana in a major immigration crackdown called "Swamp Sweep.”
Federal agents aim to arrest 5,000 people during the operation.

Another Alice classic, from Archer Mag; one of her most in intimate pieces and one I revisit often as I think about relationships to the body and how disabled people are medicalized and desexualised.
'I was a sexy beast that enjoyed myself thoroughly on my own terms.'

Alice's words and voice are everywhere. In her books, essays, articles, interviews, and media appearance. You don't have to go far to find them, and they will transport you to worlds beyond your imagining.

It's a high time for the direct market, but non-licensed comics — i.e. creator-owned + other original comics — are going through a "wildly unpredictable" period.
In this week's feature, I talked to creators about navigating this uncertain time, what's fueling it, and how it's affecting their plans.

As a kid, I learned I could be "too much" - too talkative, too quiet, too sensitive, too slow, too excited, etc. It helped that I liked solitude and could keep myself occupied. Becoming disabled at 20, I learned I could be "too much" and "not enough," in addition to the "too much" I already was. 😀

Shaheen
Kaine
Fetterman
Durbin
Rosen
Understand This Fact: Chuck Schumer is behind this. None of these 8 are up for reelection in 2026. Schumer asked them vote yes—they agreed. He's such a coward that he folded and won't even own it.

Millions of Americans have been struggling for weeks because of the government shut down, all for nothing, thanks to “moderate“ Dems caving to the GOP fascists, and the failed “leadership“ of Chuck Schumer. Moderates and centrists enable the destruction of our democratic constitutional republic.

Part of the reason I think there isn’t as much pressure around stopping ChatGPT re: suicide/psychosis as compared to stuff like Panera Lemonade is because people are inclined to blame it on mental illness versus the tech, a kind of victim-blaming mentality that fits neatly into just world fallacy
