Hey, an opportunity to post about comics–MY comics—instead of politics for once. Yay!

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

Put this on a billboard.

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

Another view of Sen. Padilla's outrageous manhandlng for the crime of trying to ask DHS Sec. Kristi Noem a question.

This is a US Senator, one of two representing nearly 40 million people from nation's most productive, populous, and *tax paying* state, being physically roughed up by goons at behest of deranged president and out of control cabinet secretary. HEY GOP SENATORS. You'll swallow even this?

What they aren’t showing on Fox News

It's not "Trump Derangement Syndrome," it's "Holy shit, he's the stupidest and most corrupt president in history syndrome."

New in PN: ABC is too cowed to state the obvious about Stephen Miller "Miller and Trump are hateful bigots. Independent journalists can still say that. Journalists at ABC can’t, because the president gets a veto over their coverage. That’s not democracy and it’s not a free press. It’s fascism."

From an LA friend.

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

I'd rather have a country with fruit pickers that don't speak English than one with Gestapo who don't speak German.

Please consider a contribution to I, COMIC, a book for incarcerated citizens, at-risk youth, and others affected by the criminal justice system. Funds are needed to distribute the already printed book. Luisa Colón (daughter of my late friend and collaborator Ernie Colón) and I will be grateful.

Amidst the effort to erase female, gay. and black names from Navy ships, the Trump administration blathered about the names needing to reflect "warrior culture". Even if you ignore her efforts as a private individual, Harriet Tubman was not only a spy for the Union forces, she led this.

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

So many reasons to hate what Trump is doing to the country, but this is the one that got me steamed today: a gilded favor to the ultra-wealthy...plastered with his likeness, no less. A great encapsulation of his worldview.

The only problem with "waste, fraud, and abuse" to Trump is that there isn't enough of it happening for his buddies to profit off of.

Adding to @jamellebouie.net's piece on GOP tax cuts that barely reached the middle class and never increased revenue: I remember George W Bush justifying tax cuts because Clinton's surplus was "the people's money"...without acknowledging that the remaining national debt was "the people's debt."

Your regular reminder that the entire global economy is subject to the whipsaw whims of a person who doesn’t understand how the global economy works

wow, wonder who was president when no one was flying during covid?
