any way, no more writing complex evils. real evil is unsubtle, it is over the top, it is cartoonish and absurd, it is evil for evil's sake.

Mind you—that's 5,300 references to Trump in the Epstein files THAT WE KNOW ABOUT. And most of the released files have been poorly redacted, often with no rhyme or reason. Trump promised to release the files, so release them—ALL of them. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/01/u...

THIS! We’re talking about Liam because he was in the news and we know enough to be able to talk about him, but we also hope to use his story to help raise awareness of all 3800+ kids who have been detained by ICE during this presidential administration. They all deserve love, care, and liberty.

The ACLU wants to hear from any families with kids or anyone who was significantly impacted by the use of chemical munitions at yesterday’s protest. Please email my office so we can help connect you with their legal team.

most people don’t understand the state of film, tv, and animation right now it was always tough and over the last five years, with covid and the strikes and the collapse of streaming, it is GRIM out there for all of us this industry always had problems but at least used to be self-sustaining

There’s also the flip side of this where people don’t understand the tropes that define a genre and think one story is “copying” another because they both adhere to pillars of the genre.

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

Seriously, pick a mythological tradition—any of them, any where in the world—and you'll find the worst of punishments are reserved for those that violate the laws of hospitality Blood feuds get put on hold until the degenerates that do this kind of thing get buried You do *not* do this

Huge news! They actually released Liam Ramos and his father! Please remember that ICE is abducting more people - including children - all the time. And they will no doubt keep trying to harass and destroy this family. Defund and abolish ICE and support immigrants! kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

Lucille Clifton’s “won’t you celebrate with me” is the poem I reach for the most as I move through the world finding joy and breaking generational curses. I remind myself that “i made it up” when I stumble building a life I’ve never seen. 28 poems for Black History Month day 1

Spotted on walk:

Elites have been doing sex crimes while forcing the rest of us to say "grape" and "unalive" to avoid having our posts taken down Not being able to accurately describe abuse makes people (especially children) vulnerable to it

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

Calling up your Dem senators and thanking them for doing this is how you encourage them to hold the line, no matter how low your estimation of them is

a week or so ago @tonyisabella.bsky.social was looking for as complete a list as she could assemble of comic creators who are trans-inclusive i named a whole bunch of folks, so i added in a buncha editors and made a starter pack!

Yeah, I actually consider my work very political, in that it’s pro-kindness, pro-diversity, pro letting people define their own identities, and subversively feminist.

HPV caused my cancer. Treatments made all my teeth fall out (and weakened my jaw too much to take implants), destroyed my saliva glands, and created disabilities that forced me into early retirement in my 50s. Advising against vaccines for this is EVIL incarnate. Nobody shd needlessly go through it.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

i have just gotten off a productive call with sauron where i laid out our requests - nazgul bodycams - morgul knife must remain sheathed unless suspect is determined to be carrying the one ring - shelob will be the new point of contact

NEW: A Texas county medical examiner found that Geraldo Lunas Campos was choked to death by a guard while he was held in ICE custody earlier this month. Geraldo is the sixth person to die in ICE detention this year.

Teenagers *are* known for ravenous appetites but surely there are other ways.

feel 50/50 on if the DHS official said sicko fan tbh but that would still require someone at CNN to know the word sycophant and put [sic] after it i suppose…

I have two books announced for this year. If you preordered them or requested that your library carry them, that would be really cool. DC SUPER HERO GIRLS: HIGH SCHOOL REUNION ISBN: 978-1-79950-582-2 ON SALE 6/2/26 MERMICORNO: GAME ON! ISBN: 9798887077970 Publication Date: April 28, 2026

Please do apply. Don't self-reject, and know that I am multiply under-rep - for example, carer and disability and chronic illness. It's very important to say that writing - & courses - are not just for, you know, the other people: they are for YOU. You could work with me for a year if you wanted.

I think @sarahjeong.bsky.social said it's because they devalue women's labor and a LOT of this Scary Logistics stuff comes from people who don't understand that basically all of the civic life they enjoy is created with the help of free labor, largely by women.

My old college classmate, a part-time TikTok influencer, just openly wondered on Instagram whether something's wrong with her TikTok algorithm. TikTok's sale to the Ellisons has been finalized. The best time to delete the app from your phones was yesterday; the second-best time to do it is now.

If you're considering signing a graphic novel contract, look at the advance the publisher is offering and subtract 15% for your agent (if you have one) and then 30% for taxes, and then divide by the 5-7 years it might take you to finish the book, and then decide if the money is worth it.

Want to delete Tik Tok...some hints.

New: an FBI agent who took the routine step of investigating the ICE officer who shot Renee Good has resigned after FBI leadership discouraged the investigation www.nytimes.com/2026/01/23/u...

Look, this is true - and @ericmgarcia.bsky.social has some great coverage on this. But I keep seeing people say: yeah, people need to stop being mad at Schumer/Jeffries AND organize!! No, people are allowed to be mad at Schumer/Jeffries for fundamentally failing to communicate AND organize.

This must be weird news to see if you’re one of the literally hundreds or even thousands of university administrators who preemptively censored faculty, scrubbed websites, changed the names of centers, etc.

The director of the FBI: "I don't read." His staff (paraphrased): "he doesn’t like meetings in office settings. What he wants is social events." www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I just thought everyone should see this

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

putting together panels for WonderCon? get trans people on them, especially if the panel topic is NOT LGBT-focused you can help our voices be heard relatedly, if you want a cool funny very hot trans lady who works in comics, tv, film, animation, games, and podcasts on your panel, hit ya girl up!

mad king moment from the PBS Newshour correspondent

i was talking with someone in the twin cities about how it’s not even accurate to call them protesters. they’re literally just people protecting their city from TERRORISTS.

There's a guide I read at some point for writers about how to not use this shit, and one of the points it makes is that you can just use a word that describes the ACTUAL behavior. The actual description of what they do is never the developmental slur that you want to use.

Omg. Omg.

This is Kevin. He's a reactive dog getting some training to be more comfortable. His trainer brought him to a pet store for some socialization where they learned he is no longer reactive when given a giant stuffed dinosaur. 14/10 (TT: katieandtatesfostermates)

BREAKING: The Senate Law & Justice Committee just advanced SB 5855, Senator Valdez's bill to prohibit law enforcement from wearing masks and to require identifying information. ICE is out of control. Let’s get that bill to my desk immediately so I can sign it into law.

I've been posting some graphic novel writing advice over on Insta... www.instagram.com/p/DTa5jd1j3h...

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.
