happy for Khalil of course but i must say, "lawful permanent resident not charged with any crimes, imprisoned by president's stormtroopers for having forbidden opinions about US-abetted genocide, briefly allowed to touch his child" is a hell of a thing to find oneself feeling joy and relief about
A HAPPY UPDATE! Mahmoud Khalil was allowed a "contact" visit—without plexiglass divider—with his wife and newborn son this morning before his immigration hearing, ACLU tells me, so I think we can safely assume that he was finally able to hold his child for the first time.

TikTok does nothing to a reported account that calls itself nat soc, but will auto flag me saying donkey shin instead of dankeschön. Weird ass broken website

Another #artwork I didn’t post here yet. I’m sure it’s pretty self explanatory.

One of these days we're gonna have to reckon with the fact that "money that I spend which does not directly benefit me is a waste" is a popular sentiment.

I think we should state plainly that this is selfish on its face.

And stupid when you have awareness which extends beyond your nose.

Which, by the way.

Someday we are going to have to come to terms with the fact that COVID minimization was (is) a form of disinformation and that our collective, willful departure from science played a role in the rise of irreality proponents like RFK Jr.
Actually let me be more clear. It's not that COVID broke our brains.

What broke our brains was the willful, eugenic denial the "normality at any cost" crew pushed. We're all literally afraid to acknowledge that illness exists now.

Yes, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow. But did he face it? Did he stare into the inky abyss and vow to destroy that horrible mocking doppelgänger lest it devour him and indeed all that is decent in the cosmos? C’mon, weather news, get us the full story

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

it humbles me to say this but since lots of subreddit mods have taken a stronger stance against fascism by banning links from X than the Democratic Party as a whole, i have no choice but to drop "reddit behavior (pejorative)" from my vocabulary

Introduction time. Hello, Bluesky! I am Sarah. I am an artist and cartoonist. I guess you could say I like making somewhat unsettling things. Bit more info here: artrat.art

It's great to see comics twitter coalescing over here. I am excited for everyone to hopefully get some fresh digital air.

everyone always wants to look smart. This is a huge mistake. You want to look dumb. No one asks you to do anything, and you can always do what you want, and if anyone gives you trouble, you say something like "oh my gosh"
