oh nooo my 4 year old

“Federal authorities told demonstrators Friday that there would be ‘no more prayer’ in front of or inside the Broadview ICE facility, in a move that mystified local leaders and raised legal questions.” blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/07/f...

Read this thread. This is what @katmabu.bsky.social was protesting, and why she repeatedly says getting beaten up by ICE outside is nothing compared to the torture and crimes being committed inside Broadview. These thugs must be held to account.

When I think about the things that have reorganized my brain on a molecular level the most salient is returning to work just 4 weeks after a c-section, not even medically cleared, with no daycares even being willing to accept a baby that young

43 years ago today, readers the world over opened their newspapers and gazed upon cow tools for the first time. happy birthday cow tools. you look great.

It's hard to overstate how fully engaged Chicago and the surrounding suburbs are in this ICE madness. There are neighborhood watch alerts, spontaneous crowds gathering outside schools at pick up & drop off plus madly blowing whistles and honking car horns, this city is fighting back and hard.

It's not lost on me that the part of the White House we are destroying is the part that has to do with women's history in the White House.

“oh so you think the east wing being demolished is worse than-“ it’s a synecdoche, man. a visual metaphor. there’s a reason the aliens in Independence Day don’t aim a huge laser at SNAP benefits

SNAP benefits expire in one week.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Good panel 🐯🔥

An astonishingly large crowd! Chicago

Gary Larson (creator of “The Far Side”) occasionally draws new comics and uploads them to his website. Here’s his latest one. An amusing tribute.

weird phenomenon i keep encountering where “writers” correctly identify the soul-sucking danger that large language models pose to their craft, but for some reason have no problem using generative AI to make images. like….are you stupid!!!!

I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning: www.burnsnotice.com/you-have-to-...

Seeing pictures of an abandoned tamale cart in Pilsen where ICE took a tamale street vendor. Those photos of left behind carts are so haunting. Community members disappeared. Not just vendors but people who have long standing relationships with the community and people.

The most important political thread of our time.

i just can’t get over ICE going into the streets of the city i live in, throwing gas at citizens, invading people who live here. this is state sponsored terrorism being enacted on americans

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

This is literally directly across the street from an elementary school.

I’m tabling at Pretty Good Fest tomorrow! 11am - 6pm, Chicago Athletic Association (12 S. Michigan). Come say hi! www.prettygoodfest.com/index.php

This is a VERY well crafted lawsuit. 1) Plaintiff is natural born. 2) He was detained 2X in a fast-growing part of Alabama, not in a city that Brett Kavanaugh could be easily duped into believing was all migrants. 3) Unwarranted detentions were on private property. 4) He showed Real ID both times.

Yay! Isle of Elsi Book Three is a "Project We Love" on Kickstarter (and has already cleared 1/3 of the funding goal!) www.kickstarter.com/projects/lon... Thanks, everyone for your support of this project! #kickstarter #projectwelove

Spent the last decade reading conservative blogs use the word "Orwellian" more than they used the word "the" and now they're literally just saying "War is Peace" out loud in front of everybody.

Absolute all-timer sentence in today's @nytimes.com

Can’t even laugh at this. The idea of these meatheads skulking around my beautiful, glittering jewel box of a city, looking to tackle every non-white person they see, makes me sick to my stomach. This is the real domestic terrorism.

Italy has moved me to tears for 3 days straight. Bravo ❤️

I’m really cooking on these pages that no one will see for a few years

a new mRNA therapy apparently can cut the rate of Huntington's disease progression by ~75%. yet more miracle shit www.bbc.com/news/article...

Please be patient with cartoonists, we have to figure out how to draw so many different kinds of chairs

Gentle reminder that in the late '50s, the U.S. government did not censor comics. Comics companies censored themselves. Not sure why that crossed my mind today but there it is...

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments. that fox news host still has his job.

"They're politicians, what are they supposed to do? Literally fight in the streets?" Unashamed to say this made me cry.

The movies don't really get into it, but it's worth remembering that Denethor went crazy because he spent too much time doomscrolling on the Palantír and it cooked his brain

(after putting googly eyes on my box fan) WHAT HATH GOD WROUGHT??

Sure, they're seen as childish, a lesser art form, and few appreciate them. But at least they're difficult to make.

For the Monday crowd.

I believe one of the new mRNA vaccines was expected to treat colon cancer, and another had the potential to keep pancreatic cancer from recurring. That’s what they’re taking away.

4 year old just came up to me while I was reading and said “I’m sorry to interrupt your me-laxing time” and I’m sorry that word is too perfect to keep to myself: no more relaxing, only me-laxing

Goodnight, friends. Did you know that Monarch butterfly migration is multigenerational? That is, it takes several successive generations to make the trip. Their individual lifespans are too brief. People are like that too. We have to persist in hope of what's to come. I love you.

It's an honor to lose to Joe Sacco's War On Gaza in Best One-shot at the Eisners! Palestinian liberation, Trans liberation and Abortion liberation are connected in the fight against Zionism and White Supremacy. FREE, FREE PALESTINE! 🍉✨

15 year wedding anniversary climbing down into canyons and waterfalls, what a dream

Nice round-up of the stakes in the Publishers v Diamond inventory battle from Sam Spratford at @publisherswkly.bsky.social www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

One of my favorite movies as a kid was Cabaret, and I’m mad at how useful an education it was. I know Tomorrow Belongs to Me when I see it.
