Pride events I have going on this year!! 👀🏳️‍🌈

Artists, show me the first ever picture of your OC and the most recent one. 2011, and 2026 🥀

On this day in 1970, 4 students were shot and killed by members of the National Guard at Kent State. Military policing of civilians creates legal and ethical jeopardy for troops, risks violations of our fundamental rights, and undermines our democracy. Tell Congress: No troops in our streets.

In the U.S., guns are the leading cause of death for children, yet gun manufacturers still market assault weapons to children. No more. We’re demanding that Mountain Billy Gun Lab halt its firearm campaigns geared towards minors immediately.

Regular reminder that if someone uses the term "Judeo-Christian", they mean Christian, and they also probably don't understand what they're talking about.

Or writers. Musicians. Etc. Something I hate about this era. What if we regarded what people made as art and thinking that mattered and not … Stuff to fill the capitalist maws with stuff And if it doesn’t matter, actually, then .. don’t make it ?

I guess until we figure out how to make my website be alive again I will be posting comics over here www.jephjacques.com/comics and on my patreon www.patreon.com/jephjacques

Job hunting in a hostile environment. ✨

Across 17 cities, and with 70+ co-sponsoring Jewish organizations, American Jews took to the streets to demand an end to ICE’s cruelty. In New York, the action also called for the passage of New York For All, which would prohibit state and local government agencies from colluding with ICE.

“...different parts of the community, different denominations, folks who have, I would say, differences in other political views but are able to really be together here today.” —@jamieberan.bsky.social, our CEO, on participation in yesterday's Jews Demand: ICE OUT Day of Action

ICE alone has stolen $75 billion from our kitchen tables — almost nine times their annual budget. Right now, deadly ICE detention centers hold more than 70,000 people on average, with a goal of adding 3,000 people per day. 📍Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts 14/16

But we know who is siphoning our resources: the Trump regime and its enablers in Congress —to the tune of $170 billion, the largest immigration enforcement funding surge in all of American history. 📍The Bronx, New York 13/16
