Tulsi Gabbard: "A war with Iran would make the war in Iraq look like a cakewalk. The devastation and the costs would be far greater than anything we've ever experienced before."

America literally refuses to learn any lessons from its many foreign policy disasters in the Middle East. It's actually remarkable. The same stable of neocon warhawks, Christian nationalists, and Islamophobes - who exist within "liberal" circles as well - still parrot the same talking points.

Here’s another piece from 1978, inspired by Wally Wood as well as the Frazetta Buck Rogers covers from the 50s

It looks like another Trump supporter is trying to kill Donald Trump again

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

The challenges we now face must be met by a bold progressive populist movement that strengthens democracy and shakes up the system. We can’t simply return to the path we were on before Trump. We cannot accept the status quo of billionaires and Big Money dominating our politics and economy.

These dogs are having the time of their lives following this week's historic blizzard in the Northeast. Please enjoy. 14/10 for all

@jysexton.bsky.social summarized how we got here in 1 succinct paragraph- "What authoritarians recognize faster than liberals (and I’m using the larger idea of liberals, including what we used to call “conservatives”) is that established structures decay if they’re not reinforced and can be seized.

The DNC Hides Its Autopsy Over Gaza as AIPAC Meddles in American Democracy The Dem Establishment refuses to release the autopsy of the 2024 election that reveals voters stayed home due to the Gaza genocide. Instead, they double down & still support AIPAC. thelefthook.substack.com/p/the-dnc-is...

Divide and conquer is not just a trite truism. Solidarity is the only tool to save multicultural democracy and too many groups are unfortunately now learning this the hard way.

During protests in Iran last month, government forces killed 7,000 protesters, most of them gunned down over three nights. Today big crowds of student protesters rallies at three top universities, chanting “Death to the dictator” and “Our target is the entire system.” Courage.

kind of amazing that everything trump does can be understood through the lens of narcissism and it's related needs (e.g., self aggrandizement, revenge, domination, grievance validation). i don't think any character has been so one-dimensional, not even wile e coyote or scrooge mcduck

Beautiful Vision came out 44 years ago today - amongst Van’s best work (including 1970s)- a key part of Morrison’s spiritual journey - part of the link between Celts and Vikings and it was recorded in the San Francisco Bay Area - feel the mist of the trees, mountains, and ocean.

Donald can try to outlaw it, but it’s still Black History Month in my country

The Ash Wednesday procession through the Chicago suburb of Melrose Park from Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church - honoring immigrants, immigration detainees and those killed by ICE & Border Patrol - has begun. Chicago Archbishop and Cardinal Blase Cupich is near the head of the march.

US Rep. Lieu on the Epstein files: "Trump appears thousands of times" "Inside those files are allegations of Donald Trump raping children, threatening to kill children. I encourage the press to go look at these allegations." #OpDeathEaters #EpsteinCoverup #EpsteinFiles

Here it is, your moment of zen.

This book has the most scathing dedication by an illustrator I have ever seen (and he is completely right) #kidlit

We have now entered the "His Opponents Are Afraid of Falling Out of Windows" stage of Donald Trump's emulation of Vladmir Putin.

9 am tomorrow at @outsideintheatre at York and 55! $25 and all goes to theater but no one turned away! Everybody in! FREE DONUTS.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

I had a neurospicy acquaintance with MS, who did freelance art. Her style was similar to what early AI slop produced. Her commissions dried up. She became a couch surfer, depressed, lost her insurance and access to her meds. Then killed herself. Every AI data center should burn for her pyre.

These are illustrated by local legendary comic book artist Josh Blaylock, by the way. Check out his awesome work here: www.devilsdue.net/creator-josh-blaylock.html

Kid Rock’s 2001 song, “Cool, Daddy Cool,” which contains the lyrics, “Young ladies, young ladies, I like ’em underage, see some say that’s statutory (but I say that’s mandatory).” Which moron booked Kid Rock for the MAGA family values concert in the middle of a pedophile news cycle? JD Vance?

A large CAVA bag stuffed with what it says is $50,000 for White House Border Czar Tom Homan. It’s been reported Homan took bribery money when he was recorded by the FBI accepting a bag full of $50,000 in cash. “ICE GTFO OF MN” Minneapolis February 4, 2026

I personally think this is now all too clear - oligarchs catching and killing the mainstream media infrastructure so their repugnant crimes against humanity and the planet are hidden from public view - but **please** let's all say it louder for the people in the back.

Imagine seeing photos and videos of ugly old men raping underage girls and thinking, "I need to protect those horrible men at all costs."? Pam Bondi is a soulless villain.

When it happens I think it would be both fun and funny if after the celebrations die down no one ever says the name again or acknowledges he ever existed. Like see how long we can keep it up

Scott Dunbier posted a request to FB this morning seeking people willing to have their original art pages scanned for inclusion in potentially upcoming Artist's Editions volumes and oh my aching wallet.

Don was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles.

I certainly hope the WGA, SAG, and IATSE have something to say about this.

1. The most extreme anti-trans bill ever proposed is currently rocketing through the Kansas legislature. It would empower bounty hunters to search for trans people in bathrooms, even in private businesses, and sue them for large sums of money. The House is voting on it today.

One year ago: "Democrats are seen as the Party of Betrayal. Republicans will screw you openly. Democrats pretend to have your back and then stab it. You should not vote GOP unless you enjoy being screwed, but voting for a Democrat feels like setting yourself up for the particular pain of betrayal."

Only two more days until you can go to an empty theater to see this cinematic masterpiece.

Most years on Holocaust Remembrance Day, I post the poem that struck me most from “I Never Saw Another Butterfly,” which my mom bought me when I was a child because if children were old enough to make the art, I was old enough to read it. It’s never felt more important or worse than it does today.

We lost comic artist Sal Buscema over the weekend, and despite him being a mightily accomplished 89 at the time of his passing -- he would have turned 90 today -- I'm crushed that we lost him. However, I love that his decades of great work fills my bookshelves and spinner rack, and it always will.

R.I.P. Sal Buscema.
