This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

I regret to inform you all that my #hourlycomicsday strip from last year aged a little TOO well, so I’m just gonna repost it 😖

Sure sure sure cool cool cool

If you think that trans people are getting our rights ripped away "because the left went too far," you're a moron. Everything happening to us today was written up and planned by the Family Research Council in 2015. The document is still public. It's all there. www.frc.org/transgender#...

turning a gallon of raw sewage into a gallon of clean water that's safe for the environment takes less than 24 hours and costs 2 cents.

California DOE fires back against Trump's executive order: "It does nothing" "It is against federal law for the White House to dictate what educators can and cannot teach" Will not comply.

⚠️ DEADLINE: Survivors of the #PalisadesFire and #EatonFire must opt-in by March 31st to receive no-cost debris cleanup at their property.

Celebrated my 6 year LAnniversary by getting a library card today :)

If you can't find the right word, put down the wrong one. Keeping your momentum while writing is more important than getting it right on the first pass. If you're worried about it sticking - BOLD the word & keep going. You'll notice those words right away while editing when you have time to process.

At this point I’ve started hallucinating the Watch Duty chimes so it’s like a double punch when they’re real.

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire

what would mister rogers do? get enraged seriously. his word choice. he gave us permission, said it's healthy:

Remember that fascists want you to feel hopeless and helpless. We are neither. Continue to be a pain in their fucking ass, even if that just means refusing to go away.

TLDR: There is nothing enforceable for the immediate future. It will take months or years to implement this via rulemaking or bureaucratic changes which are then subject to legal challenge. While it's worrying, there's no immediate change yet for most trans people. Do not comply in advance.

Trump White House's first trans executive order is out. I'll be reading over it here and going through line by line to help you make sense of it. You can find it here: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

Been a while since a song filled up my soul with a nice fire on first listen. Revelations by TE/MO (who I first encountered voicing Athena in EPIC: The Musical) open.spotify.com/track/2DHXVZ...

TikTok’s ads for Trump appeared immediately to every user. Not even Twitter has done this. This makes them the largest Trump supporter by action at least. So, since people believe TikTok suppresses words like kill, what will they suppress now that they’re right wing?

2025 really is that bitch I guess.

Alright, writers. Take a cue from Lynch: go be your weird damn selves and leave some fucking art in this world before you're gone.

(Spoiler alert for this post, there was no fire) Smelled smoke, went outside. Saw a light coming over the hill. Panicked. Called roommate. Walked 10 more steps. The light was the moon that was just rising. Smoke is from grilling a street over according to roommate who came home and went looking.

Better idea: pass a comprehensive data privacy bill that applies across the board... and maybe *DON'T* mimic Chinese authoritarianism by creating a "Great Firewall" of apps that aren't allowed to operate here. You can actually fix things AND not abuse the 1st Amendment in one shot!

I am a former incarcerated firefighter. I served in a California fire camp from 2009 to 2012. Misinformation is afire on the internet, so here are facts about the prison firefighter program, all in one place. A thread.

Right wing extremists are trying to block access to PrEP, which all but eliminates HIV risk. It’s part of their Make America Sick Again agenda. PrEP can end HIV infections globally. These zealots don’t want that. They want to go back to the 1950s. They want people to get HIV as punishment for sin.

A few years ago, a tornado swept through Nashville and destroyed a friend’s home. I sent him some money to help him out. It’s been a bit since we last talked but he just sent me some money to help those affected by the fires. Filled with gratefulness for people I’ve met at different stages of life.

Out of 200+ House Democrats, there were only *two* defections. This is not an issue that’s splitting the party, no matter how much the usual suspects in the center-left media insist that no, really, it’s going to happen this time.

“I don’t want to sell this” should be a simple statement but in the face of Project 2025’s plans to dismantle NOAA and FEMA, this is the kind of public service we will need to rely on: people choosing to serve the public good because our government refuses.

I don't get the people who say "What's the point" any time Dems fight something. It doesn't matter if Trump has the votes or the power to do something, I want Dems fighting, punching back, obstructing, jamming every stick available into the spokes. I want anyone who rolls over to get primaried. 1/2

Over the last five days, we’ve been witnessing remarkable, even miraculous mutual aid happening all over the city of Los Angeles—but esp. Altadena—, done by ordinary Angelenos, some also fire victims, who care deeply about their city and it’s ppl. We’ve shared those experiences here. Take a look—

ATTN: THREAD: The loyalty interviews have begun in DC. As someone who has direct experience with this, I have a couple of recommendations for all federal workers. Please share this widely, and with any federal government employee you know. 1/

From the pandemic to the strikes to the fire, Hollywood crews have been hit hard. @lizalps.bsky.social started this Google doc listing the Gofundmes of our colleagues. If you want to submit a fundraiser link to be listed, please email [email protected]. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

For folks in IASTE (animation, editors, wga, etc) they’ve set up a disaster relief fund for members impacted by the fire. It’s something non-members can donate to too if friends and family out of state want to help: iatse.net/socal-fires/...
