The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

Something that feels important in relation to the 60 Minutes segment that's going around, lawmakers are trying to severely limit our ability to share things like this going forward, by trying to get rid of Section 230 and forward bad internet bills that will allow them to suppress information.

Looking for the truth about what it was like inside CECOT? Earlier this year, we spoke to the men the Trump administration deported to El Salvador. Hear about what they endured, in their own words: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8INs141xeQ

You can very clearly see why someone whose job it is to protect war criminals would need this pulled from the airwaves: It’s visible proof the Trump administration is operating concentration camps.

I made designs for this! Here's the main rally couple, angel THRONE and human Ms. Garter. ENGINE ANGEL is a 'car'-acter action game, where you smash, rip & tear hordes of other angel infested vehicles dying for worship. As said, we're looking for funding to make this in full! #screenshotsaturday

Thanks for the tag- we’ve got our eyes on it but could really use some support with melting lawmakers phones about this. Please circulate! www.whatissection230.org

I think every comics creator should internalize the fact that using a.i. for any part of your job not only comprises your work but it also fucks over every other person working with you. It's not worth it. Ever.

I got an early look at this and it is a treat! Plays with the comics format in a fun way and a really great introduction to a new world with pretty massive stakes! Don't miss it!

this article really lays it all out on how much we rely on section 230 please do not rest on your laurels, contact your rep and advocate for protecting Section 230! www.congress.gov/members/find...

Call your Senators and reps and tell them to vote NO on repealing Section 230!

When you make your calls to your representatives, make sure you emphasize that you oppose repealing section 230, as many legislators have been blustering about doing so lately

Tomorrow, the House of Representatives will vote on a bill that bans gender-affirming medical care for any transgender person under 18, and threatens any medical professional providing this care to youth with 10 years in prison. Tell Congress to protect trans youth and vote NO.

Started out my day by calling my congressional rep to voice my opposition to the multiple bills seeking to ban trans youth healthcare and KOSA, online ID laws and age gating bills. Literally took like 2 minutes.

Step 1: call those numbers, or find your rep www.congress.gov/members/find... . step 2. call each office phone number step 3. say the words Bart! step 4. you're done! easy! take the minute to do it now and if it's after hours, leave a message! then, do it right after you have breakfast tomorrow!

Here's the email I sent to my senators this week, I have been contacting them regularly about this since May. Feel free to tweak it and make it your own:

Yesterday, @beccabeean.bsky.social wakes up to the sounds of me speaking in a low voice in the other room. It sounds like I'm saying "Good job, baby. I love you." That's not something you want to hear your husband saying to someone else. So they bolt into the office to find my secret...

alongside calling, EFF also has a site that lets you email your representatives and demand they protect section 230! act.eff.org/action/onlin...

Today one of my coworkers put me on the spot to come up with some clever names for an upcoming project. And let me tell you, I got a few good ones, but then also a couple absolute stinkers. It's been an hour and a half and no one has responded and I'm worried they all think I'm the dumbest guy alive

You need to contact your representative and demand that Section 230 be protected, not repealed, NOW. www.congress.gov/members/find...

while KOSA passed the subcommittee, there is still the full committee meeting it needs to go through before being voted on by the Senate/House support is more split on it than you'd think, we just need to pull away enough votes to block it. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES! www.badinternetbills.com

I made a bunch of calls about KOSA et al! you should too! use the link below and tell your representatives to oppose bad internet bills!

They’re describing it as a “shock and awe” campaign, which is why it’s essential to show them there’s huge opposition NOW. Call / email your reps to let them know you oppose censorship bills like KOSA and the SCREEN. Read up and get involved in the @fightforthefuture.org Week of Action.

please keep calling your representatives and demanding they oppose censorship/surveillance/Age-verification legislation. please continue to call Paypros and demand they stop discriminating against adult content, its creators, and sex workers please

@davidmariotte.bsky.social and I saw this at the library yesterday, so Comicsky, what would you swap out??

Hahaha, why not have to get a new catalytic converter right after moving and before my first paycheck at the new job??? When I have none of the money in the world? Anyway, www.patreon.com/DavidMariotte or ko-fi.com/davidmariotte Or www.patreon.com/popculturepunk or popculturepunk.itch.io.

continuing to make calls. I called my reps and alongside demanding they oppose all of these bills (and explaining in detail why), I also advocated for putting these bills through MORE committee meetings in order to continue debating them, rather than fast track such dangerous legislation

We are recruiting game makers affected by the 'NSFW' policy changes on Steam and itch.io for a survey. This survey is part of a broader project on the factors that shape the production, distribution, and consumption of porn games. More info about the project and survey at www.pppproject.com

commissioning me, becoming a patron, even just dropping a one time tip via Venmo (@ popculturepunk ) — it’s all incredibly helpful. cartooning is my only source of income now, and I can really use the support as I transition into this new time in my life!!

some updates to the Pop Culture Punk patreon! new header! updated (and limited) subscription tiers! Perhaps most exciting...COLLECTIONS! Pay a one time fee to access collections of previous years posts.

happy Small Business Saturday! i have slots open for commissions this holiday season. email me to inquire

So Everybody Guess A-where I'm-a working!

What have been your LCS over the years? San Diego: Comickaze (both as a kid and when I moved back as an adult Nuclear Comics North Park (now gone) And sometimes Now or Never Tucson: Heroes & Villains Fantasy Comics And sometimes R-Galaxy What should my LA shop(s) be?

Took 5 days (3 full pack and move, 2 of "rest"). 2 trucks, 2 vans, an SUV, and my little compact. I genuinely think I may have moved close to 1 ton of stuff. But it's done. We're moved in. Now to relax... and unpack. And my new job starts in the morning. 👍

Mastercard is REALLY trying to pass the buck off onto banks (who, granted, ARE part of the problem but its still mostly MC and Visa) do as Ana says here and tell them your bank told you to contact THEM. easy way to tack on more time in the call stop-paypros.neocities.org

It would also help me so much to have you support me on Patreon! I offer several price point tiers and share new art on there first before posting publicly! www.patreon.com/popculturepunk

I still have things to move...

There're a lot of very cool creative folks--many still on itch--who've had their livelihoods threatened by bad actor payment processors and credit card companies. Support their SFW work. Support their NSFW work if it's still listed and buyable. Make sure they can keep on making cool stuff.

Today is the day! Make some phone calls to Visa and Mastercard if youre able to and keep it going as much as you can muster until monday!

THANKSGIVING BLACK FRIDAY SAT + SUN CALL! CALL MASTERCARD, VISA, LET THEM KNOW YOU WON’T STAND FOR FURTHER CENSORSHIP CALL AT LEAST ONCE A DAY, ALL FOUR DAYS!!!
