RFK Jr. just announced the CDC will drop COVID vaccine guidance for healthy kids and pregnant women. This isn’t public health. It’s performance. The science didn’t change. The politics did. Expect more preventable cases, more hospital beds filling up, and more chaos this fall.

HEINOUS—Trump HHS’s RFK Jr just ended US recommendation that healthy pregnant women & kids receive COVID vaccines. 📌Extraordinary move that bypasses scientific system of vaccine guidelines from CDC!! Kids & women are not immune to Long COVID! Gift🎁🔗 wapo.st/4kk4DlE

Whoa!!! Now that's an interesting DC/Marvel crossover choice off the bat! ew.com/marvel-dc-cr...

Peter David, a master of the comic book medium, has passed. May his memory be a blessing.

A lot of "progressives" are showing they ain't that progressive and are also proving horseshoe theory. Seriously, some of you have gone off the freaking deep end and straight into justifying murder based off of religion or national identity. What the hell is broken in your souls?

god know there's a little voice in my brain that SNARLS every time Europeans start lecturing Jews or start having wild theories about secret conspiracies to, I don't know, "win Eurovision."

So, my plans for NYCC this year are "Artist Alley, or bust!" I actually have backup plans already in mind if I don't get in (mainly a vacation). I did *almost* apply for a pro badge...but I decided to stick to my plans this time. I'll get my foot in the door eventually.

Talking to my Holmes/POTO team, we might pull back on pitching it around for now and focus on doing the best book we can with it on our *own* terms. It might also allow me to put back in stuff I had to cut to make a more pitchable version work. Sometimes in comics, you got to blaze your own trail.

If you're going to defend or justify antisemitic terrorism, please just get the fuck out of my mentions. We don't need your antisemitic tuchas over here.

And people don't forget about the neurologist money I lost. If you can help this unemployed colorist treat his brain damage please boost or donate on my PayPal account [email protected] Thanks!

If you make your own indie comics, you’re an absolute triumph! Drop your links so people can see your work. Share and pass it on!

Dear Universe, As much as I enjoy having a successful KS, I would like to have much more comic book industry "wins" than just every once in a while. I'd like it if I had more pitch opportunities or work picked up. 1/2

Just talking to my comrades and realise they don't actually have an Eisner ballot, as they're not registered. So, I'm lobbing this in public - anyone in comics (creators, retailers, librarians, educators, editors, whoever) can apply here and vote before June 5th. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Being a Jew in the age of Trump means being caught between people who think attacking people at Jewish museums is acceptable resistance praxis and people who think “fighting antisemitism” means tearing down every liberal value that made this country comparatively good for Jews in the first place.

Im going to bed. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. It's just...harder and harder to write.....

I’m horrified by the murder of two Israeli embassy staffers at an event in DC last night. The fact that the gunman said he did it to “free Palestine” makes me nauseous. Murdering people for their nationality is never acceptable and this violence hurts Jews, Israelis, *and* Palestinians.

If you want to accomplish the (important) goal of convincing people there's a difference between antisemitic and anti-Zionist *speech*, you should stop the ridiculous project of insisting there's a difference between antisemitic and anti-Zionist *violence targeting Jews*

The replies to this thoroughly reasonable post are extremely illustrative about why the far-left will always have trouble as a political movement.

I am tired of antisemitism. And I am tired of being expected to be ok with antisemitism when the Jews who it’s directed at are Israelis.

There is no other group of people who are told, after a cold blooded murder targeting them, that their lives don't matter because of a war on the other side of the planet. This is extremism. It is just justification for murder with more steps.

It’s really fucked up, and it’s being spread to people who don’t realize what they’re adopting. Last year I heard so many people frothing about Zionists and not being able to define the term, never even hearing of Kahanism but certain there’s no difference between it and other ideas when explained

Some days, I really debate my place in an industry built on Jewish blood and sweat but won't lift a finger to fight antisemitism.

Haven't heard back from a publisher re: a pitch...and they usually send a rejection email. Should I just "cut bait" at this point?

“Look what you made me do!!!” —progressives who refused to vote for Kamala Harris in November.

Black, Jewish, and LGBTQ voters understood the assignment and voted for Harris because they knew that Donald Trump was a threat. White Voters are the reason why we are in this situation yet again.

I am horrified by the attack that has taken the lives of 2 Israeli Embassy aides. My heart is with the victims and their loved ones. We must all do more to push back against the scourge of antisemitism. May their memories be a blessing.

We are horrified, angry, and heartbroken over the murders of two Israeli Embassy staff members in DC last night. Antisemitic hate inevitably leads to antisemitic violence and everyone has an obligation to speak out.
