Last week @eddiecampbell.bsky.social and I went to Powell’s Books’ fantastic warehouse to pick up some copies of our Bizarre Romance. @kgerleve.bsky.social helped us (we were given 36 cases of books!) and we had a great visit. Thank you, Brad Jonas and @powellsbookschi.bsky.social !

I'm at C2E2 in Chicago, Friday-Sunday, in Artists Alley F-12, with books, arts etc. come and say well, hello there, Mr Eddie Campbell.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

ICYMI, @propublica.org uncovered Project 2025 training videos last summer. And here’s where they discuss how to evade FOIA & hide their agenda from the public. The “Houthi PC small group” didn’t arise from ignorance of the law or incompetence. They just got caught.

Part 1 on neighbors being disappeared by the US government.

Starlink at the White House complex — and the messy way its installation began — is obviously fascinating. But I think it's also worth scrutinizing why federal workers at GSA are being offered the X app as one of their only approved "news" options.

It is easy to overlook the small, but in incredibly important changes, Trump is making in our country

The weather is amazing today! You have no excuse not to mosey on over to Joy Machine for some art relief. 12-6pm. You can also visit our friends Lot'sa next door and grab a coffee from Casa Cactus. joymachine.art

A second German tourist is being held in a detention centre after having her Visa revoked by the U.S. It’s the same detention centre holding Jessica Brösche, the German tattoo artist who spent 8 days in solitary. She’s been held for 6 weeks. The U.S. is not a safe place to travel anymore

A UK citizen has been detained by ICE at the Canadian border. Her possessions confiscated, she’s being held in a cell with limited access to the outside world and no idea when she will be allowed to return home. Stop traveling to the U.S. Vote with your dollar & protect yourself.

JD Vance is saying the quiet part out loud: the Trump administration intends to break the law. America is a nation of laws. The courts make sure we follow the laws. The VP doesn’t control the courts, and the President cannot ignore the Constitution. No one is above the law.

Chef’s kiss. This is actually the job he wants and the world would be a better place if he spends all his time focused on this.
