i started researching Russian disinfo networks in 2014 and writing about them in 2015 and the sheer amount of smug online assholes who dismissed every piece of reporting as CIA propaganda or whatever will never not piss me off

The quality of art is not the quality of the art; if it were, art would begin and end w/photorealism. The quality of art is in the quality of the artist's observations. Some of the greatest novels have workmanlike prose; they are carried by jaw-dropping truths about human life. Or take cartooning--

Jay is one of the bravest people I know.

Counterpoint: they were both angels. Abolish ICE in its entirety. Never vote for a Republican. Demand the MOST YOU CAN IMAGINE from every politician. We can do better. We must do better.

The go-to tactic of politicians (not just GOP but centrist Dems who don’t want to deal with it) is to brush this stuff off as “fringe leftist activism,” so the fact that it is so quickly becoming inescapably fashionable & virtuous in so many normie spaces REALLY helps. SuperBowl chant let’s goooo

Fire every agent who does this. Publicize their names and notify the neighbors every time they move into a new neighborhood.

OpenAI is Trump's biggest supporter. Just another reason to quit using all A.I. now.

Working late, remembering my first winter in New York, driving home from WIZARD in Rockland County, on a winding road thru Harrman State Park. Already pitch dark by 5pm, it felt like midnight inside my old van, the heater struggling to warm up, and the fitting melancholy of Delilah on my radio...

The current President of the United States of America, Donald J Trump, is a RAPER OF CHILDREN.

I love this so much! And it works so well as an homage to John Workman's SFX lettering. I started using it on INVINCIBLE #14, taking over lettering from, and apeing, Robert Kirkman, who was apeing Workman. 😀 I hope Pat doesn't cringe too much when I distort the font, now on BATTLE BEAST and CAPES.

I.C.E. detention centers are CONCENTRATION CAMPs, many of which are privately run and for-profit. And yeah, some were there before Trump, but that doesn't make any of this okay. Trump & the GOP are guilty of human trafficking. We need to dismantle DHS, ICE, and BP and start fresh.

Theyre taking hundreds of boxes of voter ballots from Georgia. If Trump regime chooses to change Georgia voters ballot results he can ‘validate’ his big lie that he won the 2020 election.

Abandoned food carts. Buckets of flowers. Pick up trucks with engines still running. Lawn mowers roaring and manned by no one…

I need more people to remember that Democrats’ proposed reforms are linked to an *increase* in funding for DHS. So no, things will not get better. Because with more funding comes more ICE, more weapons, more detention centers. There is no doubt that the harm will outweigh any good.

All systems of supremacy, from racism to misogyny, exist to abet corruption…DHS offering to leave Minneapolis if voter info is surrendered is an example of that.

BREAKING: The Senate just blocked a bill that would have renewed ICE's budget without real, enforceable changes. This is a direct result of hundreds of thousands of people across the nation demanding that our Senators vote no.

This is testimony… 📌 Stella Carlson, “Pink coat lady”, speaks on the murder of Alex Pretti. “After the shooting, they (ICE) decided to just scatter and save themselves.”

ok the full clip is way better than the little one going around. her whole team try to get her to bail on the event and she's like no, I came to speak. incredible example.

CNN is reporting that federal authorities may have been collecting information and "documenting details" about Alex Pretti before killing him on Saturday, and that officers tackled him a week earlier. www.cnn.com/2026/01/27/u...

Comics are thriving as a format, and they are continuing to grow in numbers, as well as in accolades. That puts them in the target of those eager to revoke the rights of their fellow Americans–and especially young people–to read what they want to read. bookriot.com/trends-in-co...

If you're looking for a break from outrage, I recommend this film, Richard Linklater's Nouvelle Vague. About the legendary making of Jean-Luc Godard’s groundbreaking rule-shattering masterpiece, Breathless. I'd watch Breathless first. A great double feature! Zoey Deutch is a spot on Jean Seberg.

The Trump administration's chaotic and often violent immigration crackdown is starting to turn a number of local law enforcement leaders away from the federal immigration enforcement agencies they once supported, The Wall Street Journal reported Saturday.

A judge who was appointed by Donald Trump himself has slapped the administration with an order against manipulating evidence related to the shooting and killing of an ICU nurse in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

This absolute king.

The Rodney King video is one of the most important moments in American history because it showed people, particularly comfortable white people, irrefutable evidence that marginalized people’s stories of how police behaved - which were never believed - were in fact true.

The same people who say “violence is never the answer” cheer on murder when it is committed by the State (or by the State’s masked goons, or by someone killing a scary non-white person). They say, “They should’ve been nicer to the officers/agents/neighborwood watch — they should’ve just complied.”

Fuck I.C.E. Abolish the fascist GOP’s lawless masked death-squad — prosecute and imprison every one of these ghoulish, racist clowns. MAGA=NAZI

Top two articles are about ICE abducting a 5 year old and a 2 year old. Below that, news about a historically large protest and general strike. Then articles detailing how ICE lies about their actions and how the White House makes/publishes fake images about the anti-ICE protests.

This stubbed toe in politician form could shut down the government. He could call for the impeachment of Trump and Noem. He could deny unanimous consent at every single opportunity. But all I see is talk.

It is crazy — f.u. for trying to normalize it and scolding us as if you’re the political expert and we just need to be nicer to politicians or something. “Journalists“ like yourself who play these kinds of “well actually…“ games with stuff like this is part of why we are in this situation.

Imagine looking back at this time in a year, two years, ten years, and realizing that when fascists murdered moms and kidnapped five year olds and blinded people, you did... ...nothing. Don't let that be you. Look around. See what your neighbors need. Do SOMETHING.

DAILY MEMO: ICE and Border Patrol Continue Shooting and Assaulting Southern California Immigrants, Citizens, Women, and Minors

The WaPo and NYT are institutionally racist papers. Doesn’t mean everyone who works for them is a racist. But they are racist institutions.

This is refreshing and feels right. I don't believe in the 3D chess explanations of strategy and procedure any longer, if I ever did. Look at Mamdani. He said he wanted to make the buses free and freeze the rent and do free childcare... and that's what he's working on. Just say it and do it!

One of my favorite Sevendust songs, off maybe my favorite 7D album.

F*ck I.CE.

DHS getting basic 4th Amendment law wrong on its official Twitter account. Seems like this post is bound to show up as an exhibit in one of the cases challenging ICE/Border Control enforcement actions.
