Glanced into an old copy of Compton's encyclopedia from 1992 (though I guess all copies of encyclopedia are old now) and was impressed by its writeup of sexual orientation

NEWS: The cuts were so severe that at least one department head asked to leave The Post rather than be included in the planning. Peter Finn, The Post's international editor, requested that he be laid off once he learned about the scope of the cuts to his section. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/b...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington Post says one-third of its staff across all departments, not just the newsroom, is being laid off.

Cara is wonderful. This is quite a get for Mad Cave. @caraoneil.bsky.social

I have heard these books are really good

"actually his stuff was very Derivative and not Original" like, you don't have to do this. it is good for us all to sit with the cognitive dissonance that a very bad person can make very good art. it is good for us to work through the moral ramifications of that.

A tough one to sit with--but we must--is that some people's ability to make good art in part derived from, or was protected by, the fact that they were enabling or doing terrible things.

I made caramelized onions yesterday and just put in the sweater I had been wearing and it's like I'm wearing eau de caramelized onions

Liam was taken from Columbia Heights, the town just south of my high school in Fridley and just north of the Arts district in NE Minneapolis. I spent a lot of time with friends there after extracurriculars. News of his abduction completely broke my heart. I’m glad he’s home. #Comics4Liam

found a stack of these cleaning up my studio the other day. as ever!!!

Last year, the City of Pasadena put up a new plaque display at the site of Jackie Robinson's childhood home. Here's what's on the plaques and and how they recontextualize Jackie Robinson's story. www.thefanfiles.com/articles/jackie-robinson-childhood-home-pasadena-memorial

Hear me out...

People all over Portland, Oregon were impacted by the chemical warfare deployed by the feds tonight. Here’s a thread of some Portlanders experiences who weren’t even at the protest:

News! #Comics4Liam Invites Comics Creators from Around the US and the World to Create Art in Support of Liam Conejo Ramos and Families Impacted by ICE. @comixaction.com www.brokenfrontier.com/comics4liam-...

What's it like to create during a crisis? I talked with members of the Minneapolis comic community like @trungles.com, @zandercannon.bsky.social, K. Woodman-Maynard, and more about making comics during ICE's occupation, the ICE Out Comics initiative, and more. This is open to non-subscribers.

death by preventable disease is an inevitable and even desired outcome of concentration camps. in every era of concentration camps people have died of typhus, which is a disease of privation and enforced crowding. this illness is intentionally inflicted

A reminder from sinatra

Haven't painted in the last two weeks, so just banged out this 20 min sketch of a chicken piggy bank that's been sitting on my desk. I think canvas paper makes me less nervous to be bold (and work bigger). I am very happy with the looseness.

Okay, it took me three days to finally do this, BUT! You can buy whistles from us now! I stress again that getting the whistles free is the OBVIOUS OPTION but some folks want 1-5 Kit Rocha whistles instead of 100 whistles, or to support us. So. OK! thebrokencircle.etsy.com/listing/4449...

Liam Ramos’ classmates miss him, so they decided to write letters to the ICE agents who took him. “Dear ICE,” one student wrote, “You are scaring schools, people and the world.”

South Carolina is battling the country’s largest measles outbreak since the disease was eliminated from the United States more than a quarter century ago. Public health experts say it shows the risks when vaccination coverage falls.

Marimar Martinez is a hero. She was shot 5 times by ICE. The agent told her to “do something b*tch” before opening fire. He later bragged “5 shots, 7 holes”. DHS tried to smear her reputation but video footage vindicated her. Next week she will testify in Washington about ICE’s brutality.

CNN in Minneapolis: We are seeing thousands and thousands of people, we've been standing on the corner here for the past ten minutes. This this crowd has not let up. It's just continuous.

👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

BIG news from @bloomberg.com, which confirms that ICE has gone ahead and *purchased* multiple commercial warehouses with the aim of converting them into mass detention camps. This is likely to be the big detention story of 2026 — literal warehousing of people. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

I have written over 1000 postcards to voters!!

Chaya Raichik, who runs the social media account Libs of TikTok, has spent the days following Alex Pretti’s killing doxxing ordinary working people — teachers, nurses, school board members — for speaking out against federal immigration officials or expressing sympathy for Pretti.

me, emotionally writing an essay on the use of force by federal agents: ok but what if i packaged this in the most insane way possible www.theverge.com/policy/86857...

there’s something about the fixation on polling when people are being brutalized in the streets by federal agents that doesn’t sit quite right

“[Liam] keeps asking about that hat and that backpack that are in the picture,” the congressman said. “I think they took that from him.” www.cnn.com/2026/01/28/u...

If you want to mail some postcards to your representatives to let them know what's on your mind, I am mailing out five free packages of 12 postcards to reps this week. Reply for consideration (I'll pick by random).

Maher Tarabishi was detained in October during a scheduled check-in at an ICE facility. He was the primary caretaker of his son, who died last week. The family is seeking Maher's release so he can attend his son's funeral. ICE reportedly denied the request. Unimaginable cruelty.
