I want to emphasize for people again: there's a bunch of AI stuff going around of people confronting ICE agents. It's fake. It's slop. Verify before reposting.

Taunting is not a justification for arbitrary executions. Collective guilt is contrary to the rule of the law. Resisting the state— even if unlawful and prosecutable—doesn’t justify a death sentence. Our colonial ancestors rejected that agents of the state are absolutely immune for their wrongdoing.

Okay so a closeted figure skater in a fake relationship with her dance partner falls for a chaotic hockey player… wonder what recent thing I’m obsessed with inspired this🤔

It's amazing to hear how much Black american culture has shaped his identity dealing with his own version of blackness in the South Pacific.

Another way to help impacted families in Minneapolis, don't make these teachers go door-to-door to raise funds, we can knock this out.

Stop letting Bleeding fucking Cool drive the comics conversation. You wouldn’t read Fox News and leap at their bait. it’s the same. They aren’t on your side. If they were, they wouldn’t have gassed up comicsgate dickheads for years and years.

I’m fundraising for Al Otro Lado, an organization which provides legal and humanitarian support to refugees, deportees, and other migrants in the US and Tijuana 🐇🧡 drawnbynana.com/shop?tag=fundraiser

I saw this video of a Vietnam vet in the fur coat yelling at ICE and thought to myself, "this is missing something," before I realized, "Ah, of course, the Ether instrumental. It's so obvious."

I've been holding onto public school teaching as a backup day job possibility but I'm pretty sure trying to do that and be an author AND artist simultaneously would actually kill me. I could probably ask Rick Riordan for tips but I have a feeling he'd say don't do it lol.

I love LOVE when illustrators go "I'm making a comic!!" and 1 month later they post 3 pages with something like "I literally prefer torture, please no more" Yes little baby you've seen the horrors, you thought I was the crazy elder of the clan but now you owe me respect, kneel and low your head

everyone knows you also have to wipe out the indigenous population and import other people as a permanent slave class to build the colony. only then do you get to own it

I can't tell if y'all are sharing this video everywhere bcuz it cuts right before the shooting or if I'm about to watch a woman get shot right in the face

This morning, Ms. Rachel and I visited District 2 Pre-K Center, where we sang and read with the wonderful students and educators. We also discussed universal childcare - and how we're making it happen for NYC!

Sahar is struggling this winter and her son is injured. Please donate or share if you're able.

Unsolicited advice for anyone on Bluesky who wants to fight fascism in 2026 - don't stress about following big national accounts. Instead, follow LOCAL groups and people who are doing actual work on the ground. Join them and do stuff right in your community. THAT'S where the real action is. ❤️💪

My mom threatened to throw me out of the house when I floated the idea of not going to college... 😬 (Which we didn't have money for so we took out loans)

Renee Good's fundraiser for her surviving family has well reached its goal within the hour. Good. If you still want to help out, look towards Black folks' mutual aid requests. Some of these have scarcely moved in weeks or months.

actually I did need to hear this, tho I still feel conflicted since my day job also doesn’t provide health insurance lolol

One more hour! Shopgabbyzapata.Com 9am PST ♡

I keep coming back to this

I was there when Homeland Security was created and that is NOT the point of homeland security

Damn, this happened on the block I used to live on in LA. My complex was next door.

Didn't realize how BIG Storyline is! This now has over 775k views on Youtube! I'm proud of this story and I know its had impact because librarians they tell me. youtu.be/PqPFI9kDMgo?... Thx 2 the marketing team @leeandlow.bsky.social SagAftra Foundation, animators, crew, and Da'Vine Joy Randolph.

Damn, this happened on the block I used to live on in LA. My complex was next door.

I wish I was the kind of artist that drew short form comics and the like but the truth is I have exactly six stories in me and once I've told them all I'll crumble to dust, motes floating away on the wind, and your children will tug on your sleeve and say, "Oh papá, was she really real?"

The comic industry's best-kept secret is how to break out of comics

Silverio Villegas Gonzalez was shot & killed by ICE on Sept 12 ICE chased Jaime Alanis off the roof of a greenhouse; he broke his neck & died on July 12 ICE chased Roberto Carlos Montoya Valdez into traffic where he was hit & killed on Aug 14 Josué Castro Rivera was killed the same way on Oct 23

Good God, this thread. 💔

Why yes I'm going through my previous graphic novel rants bcuz I'm gearing up for yet another graphic novel rant but meh I may save it for another day.

I'm back on my bullshit~ The bullshit: trying to convince kidlit imprints that five years to illustrate a 200-page graphic novel is a fully reasonable and actually excellent time frame considering publishers neither offer artists health insurance nor pay enough for artists to live on.

I know I harp about this all the time but I am not compatible with the US graphic novel industry cuz I just want to lovingly caress my comic pages for 10+ years and meanwhile publishers want me to poop this crap out so they can sell it as soon as possible.

I am suddenly fully invested in this group of emotional teens that appear on 5-6 pages in the middle of the book to further the main character's development and are never heard from again. #comics #graphicnovels #wip #nilafflepub #reellove

Has anyone informed publishers that making a graphic novel is impossible? I think someone should tell them.

*smokes cigarette* You know the REAL problem with graphic novels, is they keep making me do them.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said. That is called murder when they do that. Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

"In United States law, depraved-heart murder, also known as depraved-indifference murder, is a type of murder where an individual acts with a 'depraved indifference' to human life and where such acts result in a death, despite that individual not explicitly intending to kill."

In a very real way the muted response to the racism stoking this state violence which made Minneapolis a target can no longer be tenable for anyone claiming to oppose this.

The resident dean who was fired was given only ten days to vacate his housing. @harvard.edu is putting a Black family — with a newborn baby — out on the street because of comments opposing white supremacy. Please donate to their gofundme: www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

As always, I come back to this observation from Craig Ferguson. "There are three things you must always ask yourself before you say anything. Does this need to be said? Does this need to be said by me? Does this need to be said by me now?"

the way you stay plugged in to movement work is by working constantly on community learning how to BE IN community is an individual skill actively working on your own accountability deprogramming the white supremacy, ego, misogyny you bring to the work it takes practice and you'll make mistakes

this system is fucking atrocious, it's actually a bunch of interconnected systems of power and it took 600 years for these people to get this entrenched and powerful and that's with constant opposition in one form or another it's a generational struggle you just need to stay plugged in and work

oldhead advice from an oldhead. every couple years, newcomers to the movement think "THIS is finally it, the moment when the dam breaks and the whole system is overthrown" and when it doesn't happen they lose patience and get disillusioned and drop out of movement work gotta build for long term

These people will kill you

Black folks are not being "mean" to you when we are truthful concerning the historical pathologies of your kinsmen... Truth is the greatest love

Stephen Miller has openly labeled anyone who resists ICE or the will of Trump as a domestic terrorist. And if that’s the case, then the government and its agents can kill or abuse you as they see fit. The right isn’t treating the killing like a tragedy. They’re celebrating it like a victory.

This is literally what they do whenever a Black person is killed by police. No matter how solid the evidence is, they will keep pushing that lie, not just to poison the conversation and make sure the killer walks free, but to reassert the political idea that these people deserve to be killed.

In fact we have records of at least 65,000 immigrants in the late MEDIEVAL period. This means real numbers were significantly higher. In England more than 1% of the population was foreign born (never mind 2nd gen) with numbers as high as 1 in 10 in cities. There’s a database!

maybe you saw this and thought "why is she reposting the hockey yaoi that makes no sense" but this is actually a post to congratulate @bailierosenlund.bsky.social on the GLAAD media award nom.
