sucks shit that we spent 22 years building up a federal force of masked goons to do disappearsnces and despite democrats holding the white house for 12 of those years never scaled them back

if you weren't this angry when the administration was just talking about going after immigrants with criminal records, ask yourself why not and what that says about your values

"Lucy, will you hold this football for me? PLEASE?"

If you can list the shit that horrifies you about the Trump administration and not connect that to, say, the carceral system that you've always just sort of assumed worked, then what you are concerned about is the visibility and/or inconvenience of atrocities, not their existence.

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

There are fighters out there if we’d just let them fight.

LET’S GO FEVER!!!

Day 5: Today, there's DAWNRUNNER written by @therightram.bsky.social, with art by Evan Cagle, colors by Dave Stewart, and letters by @adityab.net. Many already know Ram V and Cagle from their work on the current New Gods, and you can expect the same grandiosity in art and storytelling here. 1/2

“A world without quirks is a world without rebellion. A world of total predictability.” -Doom Patrol #44 by Grant Morrison (General Honey)

It is never not going to frustrate me that the word "colonel" is spelled the way it is

Just got these stickers in the mail from @kevinnewburn.bsky.social! Go check out his store

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

Day 4: Today, here's one of my favorite ongoing series right now: ASSORTED CRISIS EVENTS. This book is written by the most exciting new(ish) writer in the business: @denizcamp.bsky.social (Absolute Martian Manhunter, The Ultimates), with art from the immensely talented @ericxyz.bsky.social, (1/3)

Day 3: Today, here's EAT THE RICH by @sarahgailey.bsky.social, @piusbak.bsky.social, @teetov.bsky.social, and Cardinal Rae. This delightfully disturbing miniseries is definitely worth a read, but I don't want to say too much and spoil it Also shout out to this great cover by @beccacarey.bsky.social

Kleya and Mon Mothma’s dresses in Andor are so pretty

Day 2: Next up, there's Minor Arcana by @jefflemire171.bsky.social, who many would know from his work on Animal Man, Black Hammer, Absolute Flash, Sweet Tooth, and more. Arcana is an inventive, gorgeous, heartbreaking tale of growth and grief. Absolutely one of the best ongoing series right now.

I realized that ai have been talking a lot about DC and Marvel comics a lot on here, so I'm going to highlight one comic a day owned by actual people, not gigantic corporations. These will all be comics I like so I hope more people check them out, even though my reach is small. Feel free to join in!

shit ain’t over til it’s over

Thinking again about this interview Jack Kirby did back in the 70s just as the Fourth World Saga was starting to roll out. Really great stuff here about the nature of evil and fascism and humanity's potential. www.twomorrows.com/kirby/articl...

“Even in my imagination you chide me, George. I cannot stop talking to the future. I have so much I must say to the unborn, suffering multitudes. I know where utopia lies. It is here. Where is the love, beauty and truth we seek but in our mind? The golden country, forever new? (1/2)

“Only in your future are tortures eternal. I am from the solid world where things pass. I have been a boy, a girl, a whore, a sorcerer… The darkness in people doesn’t frighten me. When you shut your eyes, afraid to see yourself as you truly are… that is when you see only darkness. (1/3)

“‘The answer,’ the torture droid said, ‘is simple: The Emperor who ordered Operation Cinder, who oversaw countless genocides and massacres and created an Empire where torture droids were in common use, was not a man of secret brilliance and foresight. (1/2)

OUCH

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

Stands on rooftops: 📣 🗣️ 🗣️THERE IS NO LINK BTW ACETAMINOPHEN & AUTISM. IT HAS BEEN STUDIED FOR MANY YEARS IN MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. 🗣️THE ONLY REASON THEY ARE TALKING ABT THIS IS THAT THEY DO NOT WANT AUTISTIC PEOPLE TO EXIST. 🗣️IT IS EUGENICS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER. -EmilyPhD

Christian persecution in America is best defined by this image: No actual struggle, wearing clothes that cost more than my entire wardrobe, polished cross instead of rugged, and surrounded by crowds of fellow hypocrites cheering on bigotry who believe they're the victims.

Listen to Guido

Crockett: "I'm gonna honor someone who decided they were going to proclaim I was involved in the 'great white replacement'? Yeah, I'm not honoring that ... it's unfortunate more of my colleagues even on my side couldn't see the amount of harm this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities"

Happy Batman Day

Trans identity is the literal OPPOSITE of Nihilism, its the EXISTENTIALIST expression that YOU can decide who you are, and what has meaning in the world. Nihilism is the complete ANTITHESIS of that, it is surrender to perceived inevitability. To choose for yourself who you are is to DEFY Nihilism.

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

“The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil. When truth leaves us, when we let it slip away, when it is ripped from our hands, we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams the loudest.” -Andor S2E9 by Tony Gilroy (Mon Mothma)

To describe the current state of the world as a daily show of deepening horrors is a massive understatement. However, I read something today that I think more people should see and read. I hope she doesn't mind my me sharing it here. I'd rather be an X-Men by @gailsimone.bsky.social

This man will not be fired for calling for the murder of American citizens, yet multiple journalists/reporters/teachers lost their job for accurately reporting things Charlie Kirk actually said and stood for. But it’s the “violent left” that’s the problem

"[E]ven just one [juror] in most cases[] can hang the jury by maintaining a Not Guilty verdict even though they believe the defendant broke the law. ... When further deliberation clearly will be unproductive, the judge will declare a mistrial. The prosecution may or may not retry the case."

Fighting back works

Faculty need to unionize now. Like, right now. This week. Does not matter if you’re in a state that doesn’t have union protections. Does not matter what field. We can fight the coming purges if it’s clear that firing a few scapegoat profs will result in a complete shutdown of the institution.

"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.

And also, not trans. WSJ, shame on you for spreading dangerous misinformation.

If you’re an isolated, angsty, strange young man, please know that you can play D&D with other isolated, angsty, strange young men - and women! - and before you know it, you'll no longer feel isolated. Though remaining angsty and strange is entirely appropriate, if not positively encouraged.

“There can be beauty and miracles in finding out what you are, as frightening as it can be. But there is also the world, which is a different one for you now than it was before.” -X-Men #4 by Jed MacKay (Temper)

Is this doing politics the right way? Or am I supposed to just calmly thank and debate the people calling my community terrorists and mass murderers?

Jack Kirby, once again

Hi @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social, we're friendly, we've been on each other's shows. We both agree Kirk's murder is horrific. Q: was Kirk "practicing politics in exactly the right way" when he called for me to be deported because he didn't like my Covid views on MSNBC? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/o...

Thinking about the phrase "political violence" and the number of people who've died on Rikers Island in just the last month.

No better time to post Hunter S. Thompson on 9/12/2001. www.espn.com/espn/page2/s...

Political violence is bad. ICE violations of our rights is political violence. Targeting trans people is political violence. So is denying people healthcare. Don’t valorize proponents of violence and erase ongoing political violence in your rush to condemn bad acts.

Politics.
