A "I"m a Cop" page with text from Border Patrol union leader Paul Perez, speaking on PBS NewsHour in February. The two kids here are from one of my favorite Dorothea Lange photos. This U.S.-themed superhero was called "The Liberator."

The eleventh issue of Hammer & Hope is now live! We are besieged by a ruling class focused on maintaining white power. They represent one tradition in the United States. But there is another, found in 250 years of resistance, rebellion, and refusal. One that continues today — because it must.

The new issue of "I'm a Cop" begins with this page, which uses text from ICE agents talking with one another after arresting Job Garcia, a Los Angeles PhD student on June 19, 2025. These figures are all early 1940s superheroes: Minute Man, The Flag, The Great Defender, & Captain Freedom.

"I'm a Cop" 3 now has a cover and is available for preorder! The issue combines 1940s nationalist superheroes with quotes from ICE, Border Patrol, and DHS's ICE recruitment campaign. More real-life horror. Now with superheroes. (Preorders are a huge help) johnny-damm.square.site/product/preo...

I’ve dug through thousands of exhibit files of FBI “evidence” taken in raids of the defendants’ homes. the federal government’s version of what happened that night — the basis of their “terrorism” — was a fraction of the files. the bulk is zines, books, stickers, patches: First Amendment activity.

I've been making progress on "I'm a Cop" 3, which combines statements from federal law enforcement with early 1940s U.S. flag themed superheroes. The text here is from a recorded conversation between Border Patrol agents and the Florida Highway Patrol in North Palm Beach, May 2, 2025.

A tie.

“Who were the pioneers of the eight-hour movement? Those martyrs who were strung from the gallows in Chicago on November 11, 1887, the much-lied-about and abused Anarchists.”– Lucy Parsons

Apparently DHS is handing out these awards to some of the people who participated in Operation Metro Surge here in Minnesota. Absolute lunatic behavior.

Another page from the in-progress third issue of "I'm a Cop." The text is from Minneapolis resident Ramon Menera and his recorded encounter with a Border Patrol agent in January.

Two recent pages from the in-progress third issue of "I'm a Cop." Text from the Department of Homeland Security's campaign to recruit new (white supremacist) ICE agents. Posted by DHS Deputy Assistant Secretary Micah Block on October 5th, 2025.

ALL CHARGES DROPPED AGAINST NICK TILSEN IN POLITICALLY CHARGED CASE Today, the Pennington County State’s Attorney’s office dropped all charges against Nick Tilsen, Founder & CEO of NDN Collective.

Strike has begun, 3,800 meat packing workers in Colorado have walked off the job

Text spoken by Border Patrol agents on October 5, 2025--directly before they sideswiped Chicago legal observer Marimar Martinez's vehicle and then shot her 5 times. (From the in-progress third issue of "I'm a Cop".)

I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out: www.404media.co/ai-is-africa...

Inside the Pro-Israel Campaign to Stop ‘The Voice of Hind Rajab’ From Winning an Oscar A group led by top Hollywood executives & linked to the Israeli government is trying to smear a film about a little girl killed by Israeli forces, writes @premthakker.bsky.social. Read: zeteo.com/p/voice-of-h...

There's an emergency "Stop the War in Iran" protest kicking off in NYC at 2 pm at Times Square. www.answercoalition.org/iran/ - I'm going to head out. I've also included the list of other protests across the country.

Important reminder:

Will Eisner’s Uncle Sam superhero is all over my new comic—consistently depicted in my work as a murderous monster. So it was funny to come across this old machine—on Valentines Day, no less—where you shake Sam’s hand to measure your sexiness. Uncle Sam declared me “HOT STUFF.”

New page with text from 3 federal agents addressing legal observers in Minnesota in the days after the Jan 7 murder of Renee Good. Panels 1 & 2 are from Jan 9 and 11. The remaining text is ICE agents addressing Patty O'Keefe on Jan 11, after pepper spraying her and smashing the windows of her car.

The courtesans at Sheri’s Ranch are the first group of legally licensed sex workers to unionize in U.S. history (!!!). Their new union website states their demands as “safety on the job, better working conditions, and control over their own futures.” unitedbworkers.com

And here’s the absurdity of calling the police on ICE. You’re calling their backup.

Tech executives have finally amassed their ultimate, long dreamed-of power: to summarily fire anyone who speaks ill of their desire to have sex with robots

On Feb. 4, 1999. Amadou Diallo an African immigrant was shot 19 times in a hail of 41 bullets by NYPD, claiming his wallet was a gun. As organizers we hit the streets. African, immigrant, Black (also African) & others, all knew it was the same system of oppression

We're going to win because their side has no good art and they know it.

I beg all people of good will: deepen your knowledge of how these bureaucracies work. Deepen your understanding of how powerful institutions use propaganda to co-opt your anger and energy and convert it into "reforms" that maintain their own power and profit. Use this moment.

We the people have the power. Join us tomorrow, January 26, for a virtual training on how to exercise your right to document ICE abuses in your community. RSVP using the link below. When using that link, Indivisible will know you came from us; their privacy policy applies.

Two memorials in three weeks. 1.5 miles apart.

Crowd is massive, now overflowing Congress Plaza and taking up a block-long stretch of Michigan Avenue. Reminder: this event was only announced yesterday.

Perfect time to recommend Unrivaled: almost all my favorite players, incredibly entertaining style of play, and the league’s co-founder (one of the best players in the world) telling us to “Abolish ICE.”

This entry in an interesting thread refers to a young family at home in Maine, stalked and threatened by ICE goons thru a closed door. The father, a roofer, has a work permit, soc sec number, pays taxes. All are in the USA legally.

-5°F in Minneapolis tonight. At the site where feds killed Alex Pretti, the air still smells faintly of tear gas. Hundreds of people still here behind some impromptu barricades. Message spray painted on the road reads, "fuck ICE, love always wins."

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

🚨BREAKING: THOUSANDS of Minneapolis protesters are out near the scene where immigration agents killed ANOTHER person this morning. "F*ck ICE, F*ck ICE!" LIVE NOW⬇️

The Strib has identified him. Alex Pretti. Another 37-year-old executed for standing up for our immigrant neighbors. For shame. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

Another question I came here with was: how effective are the whistles and honking? Does it stop abductions? And the answer is, surprisingly to my cynical self, yes, and often. I have talked to so many people who have successfully interrupted kidnappings.

Text spoken by ICE agent Jonathan Ross, directly after the ICE execution of Renee Good. Each of these figures is a 1940s “patriotic” superhero: The Eagle, Major Victory, Minute Man, The Flag, The Shield, Uncle Sam, and Minute Man. In this project, I'm trying to grapple with the long relationship...

God bless Minneapolis.

My desk right now.

i think for some there’s a comforting fiction that ICE operates in some separate universe from “regular” policing, but immigration enforcement is tightly stitched into local jails and policing, whether officials admit it or not www.youtube.com/watch?v=ic96...
