"I believe that in our shock and revulsion, our collective determination to prevent further horrific attacks may change our Nation in fundamental ways that will eventually surprise and dismay all of us." Sen Robert Byrd (D-WV), speaking against the creation of DHS, 2002 sgp.fas.org/congress/200...

On NPR on Friday, there was a story of a 4-year-old--an American citizen--who hasn't left her house since early December, not even to play in the yard. And her 8-year-old brother recently stopped going to school, too. Their father is undocumented, and the family doesn't want to risk him being taken.

All flags in San Diego County have been ordered to fly half-staff through Wednesday in solidarity with Minnesota, and in honor of those murdered by ICE. www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/s...

This would be an excellent, succinct script with which to call and leave a message for our representatives

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

A joke for the history buffs: Germany’s satirical newspaper @der-postillon.com titles: “Vienna Academy of the Arts offers Trump admission as a student — They don’t want to get blamed again“

The two great consistencies in life are that people will both disappoint you AND amaze you. Rarely the same people but sometimes.

Thinking about that time the My Little Pony comics, of all things, absolutely bodied Scott Adams.

To be fair, it sounded better in the original German.

It turns out - and as an experienced Covid patient I can tell you - having bronchitis on top of Covid really is much, much worse.

It’s amazing how little they seem to plan out even one chess move ahead.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Renée Nicole Good was an award-winning poet. So it is fitting that she is honored with a poem by one of America's most celebrated poets, Amanda Gorman.

Hey, I know a lot of you use Discord. You need to get on this survey and make it damn clear to them that this would be the absolute wrong direction. The last thing we need is the slop-spewing environment-chewing plagiarism bots invading there, too. discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...?

I can’t speak for the entire Jewish community, but personally I have been watching many of y’all under-react to ICE actions for the last year and suddenly understanding in a whole new way how my family ended up being rounded up and massacred in camps and y’all should think on that.

We used to say “the cruelty is the point.” Now we can revise it to “the stupidity, the recklessness, AND the cruelty are the points.”

Imagine watching Sinatra, son of Dolly & Antonini born in Genoa & Sicily, respectively, and Martin, son of Gaetano & Angela, born in Montesilvano, Italy & Ohio respectively, (Angela to parents born in Monasterolo, Italy), and crusading against the value of children of immigrants to the U.S.

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

The USS Bone Spurs

Terrific piece about the realities of life in the entertainment industry right now.

My comics career and my marriage to a union woman both being 40 years long is not a coincidence.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Somewhere, Will Arnett is just waiting for the call to be SNL's Newsom.

Still collecting supplies for my classroom if you’re feeling generous. If you haven’t heard — after 20+ years as a writer I was burned out & needed to do something to give back in this bleak timeline. So I’m teaching theater in LA’s inner city at an LAUSD school . www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

I think we can all agree that the best comic to give to first-time comics readers is HECTOR PLASM: HUNT THE BIGFOOT #1, coming in October from Image Comics

What happens if you don’t do background checks or training for thousands of people and you give them all total authority? ICE has been caught looting and destroying property at Pittsburgh restaurants. They even tried to break into the safes. They loaded food, supplies and equipment into vehicles /

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”
