Seen in Tokyo

Like any good cartoonist I have felt the urge to write about the big changes in my life recently but have struggled with how to do so: I was still trying to make sense of things while also wondering how I could talk about work things that wouldn't be problematic.

This is beautiful. This is how I want to live and try to.

If Jacob Frey shows his pimply weasel face at Pride this year, he should be chased from the scene by people asking him questions about the conduct of the officers in the department he has absolute control over.

A doctor should never see Ken Paxton again.

It’s the only option!

RIP Bauhaus Brew Labs Still doing their Liquid Zoo show at AAW this weekend and one last bash the last weekend of June.

If O’Hara had an ounce of integrity he’d personally apologize to Moturi and resign.

Moturi recalls watching press conference from the hospital: "I was forced to watch the police chief and the mayor throw dirt on my name and blame me for getting shot. That press conference was insane... sitting there with a bullet in my neck, shattered spine, broken ribs, collapsed lung..."

People on the ground everyday are saying that just in these first 13 days of May there’s been more ICE activity than there was all of April. We don’t know what this means exactly, but this is why we need to make sure we’re still connected to our neighborhood networks and looking out for each other.

BURGUM: When the sun goes down, solar produces zero electricity HUFFMAN: I want to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the secretary is unaware of -- it's a battery

Fred Seibert's memories of working with Ted Turner on the Hanna-Barbera revival and Cartoon Network are a MUST READ. I can't think of a single creative executive who is doing stuff like this now. We are so cooked. fredfilms.substack.com/p/ted-turner...

Hiiii Minneapolis how do you feel about the cops? The independent monitor for the settlement agreement wants to know

A reminder that this was the statement the Minnesota Police Officers Association put out after ICE agent Jonathan Ross murdered Renee Good on video for the whole world to see.

Those busses cost half a mil, at least. The porch repair is probably $20k+. The car is probably totaled. Hospital bills. Staff time. And above all, a life was lost. Cars cost society more than anyone gives them credit for. This is an extreme example of something we've allowed to become normal.

I'm still sitting here thinking about how the UC system was free for California residents and had been for a century before Reagan was governor.

There it is. Got enough of a demand even OUTSIDE Minnesota.

The first thing the editor in chief of the Roosevelt school newspaper did when she got home was hug her father. Then she opened her computer and started to type. Her article went viral. Lila Dominguez said running the newspaper during the ICE surge showed her “the power of truth.”

Sea Salt is mostly proof that people like outdoor dining options that are not on the side of busy roads, which our zoning largely dictates they must be.

Dear GOP: here’s the fraud!

Democratic women > Republican men.

What I wish for everybody to remember when Canvas comes back online: The reason OUR data can be held for ransom is because Instructure, their owners (KKR private equity & Dragoneer venture capital), & our own employers (see ASU Atomic) monetize it. It's Canvas that hacked education & stole our IP.

Can't witness it if you're being paid overtime to sit at home.

SO excited for this!

ICE creeping around in South Minneapolis. Keep your eyes out and your whistles ready, neighbors

The thing IS actually, there are so many incredible books that do serve children, speak to children, are exciting for children to read -- but those books die the death of invisibility. The industry doesn't give them material marketing/publicity support, and gatekeepers don't find them.

Well well well looks like those art degrees aren't so useless after all

Jon Oringer, founder and executive chairman of Shutterstock @shutterstock.com, is trying to recruit comic and graphic novel creators over on LinkedIn to a new AI platform that he’s building. Feel free to let him (and them) know what you think of this, and never use Shutterstock again ✌🏻

So the Feds did more to investigate VA workers who went to Alex Pretti memorial than those who killed him.

It’s National Cartoonist Day. So here again, for those who might need a reminder, is the best cartoon ever made. By B. Kliban.

Minneapolis celebrates spring with a parade of giant handmade socialist puppets and a festival where people row the sun across the lake. This year's Mayday festival was today, and I'm going to try to share some photos and videos (many taken by others) to try to explain it for my non-local friends.

LOVE THIS.

I just have a lot of feelings about the punks and the queers and the hippies and the anarchists alll coming together to make music and butterfly bikes and fire-breathing dinosaurs and use them all to say fuck fascism

never has minneapolis needed to celebrate the sun coming more than at the end of winter 2026. ICE are not gone completely, but we still won, and it was incredibly cathartic to see this ceremony at mayday about protecting our neighbors, grounding why we did this work. i love this city

Minneapolis is undefeated. Happy May Day.

The May Day Parade never disappoints. #fuckice #minneapolis #mayday

My dearest hope for the city of Minneapolis, is leadership who are at least as comfortable - if not more so - at Mayday than they are are Dinner du Nord.

Minneapolis is, IMO, so wonderfully weird in what has always to me felt more authentic than many peer cities that go out of their way to tell you how weird they are. Cheers to all our neighbors across the river. 👊

It was a hard winter here in South Minneapolis. But now it’s Spring…

The progressives on the Minneapolis City Council led the $7 million small business resiliency fund, $1 million immigrant legal assistance, $3.8 in rental assistance and met with a donor who matched $3 million, strengthened our separation ordinance. If being pro-human is FAR LEFT then count me in.

The conservative justices on the Supreme Court arguing that you can separate race and partisanship got me thinking about these maps. starkeycomics.com/2021/06/11/h...

Among many other things, generative AI is a labor rights issue. Professors are right to reject it and students are right to join the rebellion.

This part of Lyndale is being reconstructed in 2028, but the bikeway and pedestrian safety improvements are only going in north of 28th St, so this could still happen in the busiest part of the corridor - the LynLake area. It's not too late to change that though! Contact your City Council member!

The example I often use for this is Hey, Kiddo by Jarrett J. Krosoczka. The argument from would be book banners is that it destroys "innocence" and kids shouldn't have to confront addiction. But this is JJK's real experience. Kids DO have to confront these things. Hiding it helps no one.

John Lewis was on camera getting his head cracked in.

A document obtained by MPR News shows that dozens of Minneapolis police officers have worked with a previously undisclosed Homeland Security Task Force, which city leaders say is investigating criminal, and not immigration, violations. (1) www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Algae blooms are common in warmer urban lakes with too many nutrients running into them. Their growth in the cool, clear Boundary Waters is an alarming new sign of climate change. minnesotareformer.com/2026/04/30/a...

Despite creating a billion-dollar franchise - with a new $200M budget Hollywood blockbuster launching in a month - the creator of He-Man's family were unable to afford his dementia and care facility costs, and had to setup a GoFundMe. Mattel gave $5,000.
