A regime that can only imagine a boot stamping on a human face forever, is scared to death of the power of art to document the terror the regime inflicts on its most vulnerable.

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing? ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW. I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.

What we are living through is the PEAK of "drained pool politics" Drained pool politics is the termination or defunding of public resources due to the will of one group, whether they also use the resource or not. Think the end of public pools nationwide b/c white people refused to integrate

Seems obvious, but it’s true, a lot of problems in the comics industry would be fixed by having more comics readers. IMO not enough current adults read comics to sustain the kind of industry we’d like to exist. However I’m more optimistic about the numbers of *future* adults who’ll be comics readers
