idk how widely this article has been shared, but it is extremely irresponsible and inaccurate in many different ways. it states as fact and with no reporting that things *are happening now* that *may eventually be possible*. it is shocking that this was published newrepublic.com/article/2059...

ICE plans to lease offices throughout the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign. WIRED is publishing dozens of these locations. www.wired.com/story/ice-ex...

ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota. This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats. They hate the helpers. Which is why must keep helping.

Thrilled to announce my 5th (omg) graphic novel!!! This standalone fairy tale is part an excuse to draw lots of monsters, part the agrophobia I've developed in these pandemic years, and the rest—a story of comfort that doesn't shy away from the dark 🧡🧡🧡 www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

I know that they will always do the cruelest thing and the most racist thing, but the extent to which these particular fuckers will also do the stupidest thing. Fire up the phones. Make every fucking member of the GOP own this. Fuck them.

Here is a thing: There were several years when I was one of VERY few journalists seriously covering harassment and abuse issues in comics (and by extension sometimes video games). During that time, I became the Person People Told Things To. (cont'd)

Whooooosh

The SpaceX/xAI merger situation is actually pretty important and, I think, very bad. "Data centers in space" is a bit of a pipe dream, but SpaceX now dominates low-Earth orbit in a highly concerning way. Starlink is real and could monopolize a lot of things.Not Good! www.404media.co/this-spacex-...

🧵Your regular reminder that releasing children from federal custody is not an endpoint—for Minnesota or for the child. Kidnapping and detention by federal agents is a deep trauma and for all the resiliency of kids, recovery from this atrocity cannot possibly be swift. 1/2

Wow I wonder what happened (a sneak peek for a project I’m pitching) (also an excuse to show Charlie)

This Alex Raymond panel is like a whole library of cool graphic choices

Drew this a few years back.

Please look up the video ‘How to say Wa’ by Puppet Sun Sun! It’s only short and is very cute :)

A cunning ploy, Adobe, but you forgot one thing *slides jewel case out of my sleeve* My highschool computing teacher was my friend's Dad

As such, demand for assistance remains high - especially for help with rent and groceries. Please visit standwithminnesota.com to see how you can help financially.

ICE tear gassed a bunch of children on Saturday. This was a massive escalation of force. They were shooting tear gas at the back of the crowd, it took these unmasked people maybe 3-5 minutes in the cloud of tear gas to escape in without trampling. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...

Another older drawing salvaged from Instagram. Still like this one.

Here are some machines I grabbed from Instagram, all of which are from like 2017 or 2016 Sorry about the tiny resolutions, this is apparently what I was uploading nearly a decade (!) ago

Welcome home, Liam! I hope folks in similar situations to him are reunited with their loved ones soon Please check out comics4liam.com and thank you to the folks who set this up! #comics4liam

playing with a new brush

Liam was taken from Columbia Heights, the town just south of my high school in Fridley and just north of the Arts district in NE Minneapolis. I spent a lot of time with friends there after extracurriculars. News of his abduction completely broke my heart. I’m glad he’s home. #Comics4Liam

Liam is home now and we are grateful to @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social for traveling to Minneapolis with him and his dad. Welcome home Liam ❤️❤️

primarying the dems who have chosen capitulation is going to be incredibly important

America has never known a January this fucked

Just got gassed pretty good at the labor union anti-ICE protest in Portland. Massive march, 5-10k strong. Vibes were very much liberal rather than radical. Lots of kids and older folks. They gassed the whole crowd as soon as it marched on ICE, in broad daylight.

this handful of independent journalists (my former colleagues at Motherboard) do more impactful journalism than 75% of the corporate tech press on a fraction of the budget

A manual for ICE's immigrant-targeting computer system, Palantir ELITE, was leaked today. Let's look at it, then step back to evaluate how far we've come along a dangerous road and where that road might take us. 🧵

The Minnesota Star Tribune, @mprnews.org @minnesotareformer.com , @spokesmanrecorder.bsky.social, @sahanjournal.bsky.social, Center for Broadcast Journalism and Minnesota Newspaper Association today released the following statement:

I would beseech the national media to stop writing sentences like one I just read that said basically "ICE's time in Minnesota is almost up." That is NOT an established fact. Please do not turn away. Please check the readily available information from people on the ground and local journalists.

Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy

The arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lundy are unacceptable and a clear violation of the Constitution. This is a dangerous abuse of power that threatens the rights of every single American. They must be released immediately.

there's this new dynamic where the DOJ cannot win in court and is (relatedly) incapable of meeting the minimum threshold of professional legal conduct, and so an increasing percentage of its actions are purely for intimidation and content

some good news buried among the horrible behavior listed: “The third woman said federal agents at her hotel are subsisting on microwavable bowls of Campbell’s chicken noodle soup, because it’s become so difficult for them to find restaurants willing to serve them.”
