Totally loving how many awards Shogun has raked in.

Worst shortcut ever.

Never fails. A box will win over any cat poff or cat tree.

Great, we're now playing the long legal game for getting back at petty politics. How did Trump so easily take over the Kennedy Center? Ask Sean Spicer. www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...

Valentine's Day is better with punnies.

The #USAID website has just gone dark, amidst reporting #Trump may try to dissolve it completely. But #Congress established USAID in statute, and Trump can't unilaterally override a statute by executive order. Read my latest via @justsecurity.org: www.justsecurity.org/107267/can-p...

The entire archive of CDC datasets can be found here. HUGE shoutout to data archivists- this work is important 👏🙌🏻 archive.org/details/2025...

If you didn't read our comics explainers about the Project 2025 agenda that's in full swing right now, they're sadly still relevant!

Not sure what legislative authority allows the EEOC to regulate bathrooms. This might be a very short lived initiative.

Well said, Pete Buttigieg

I'm waiting for DEI to be the cause of the next solar eclipse. Or the federal govt. to say DEI is responsible for (insert problem we don't want real answers for).

I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...

Dark Horse takes seriously the allegations against Neil Gaiman and we are no longer publishing his works. Confirming that the Anansi Boys comic series and collected volume have been cancelled.

Thread.

and here comes the racially targeted layoffs

It's raining golden rays. #wonderwoman #comicbookcovers

Trump migrant crackdown gets pushback from local authorities www.npr.org/2025/01/24/n...

Tonight, one of my student’s shared how much they love this picture of Milwaukee. It reminds them of the struggles their immigrant single mother made to help them adjust to life in the United States and what the city means to them. Love. It’ll be love that sustains us through this moment. #414

This is an excellent thread.

Good advice from Dan Rather and a great quote from @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/steady/p...

Trump’s TikTok executive order is out - it directs the DOJ to promise app stores and services providers that it won’t enforce the law for 75 more days. And in true incoherent Trump fashion, it then also says the EO is not an enforceable promise here in 3(c). Perfect. www.theverge.com/2025/1/20/24...

When I started at Business Insider doing their current-event comic series, for which I won a Pulitzer, this was the first illustration from the first story we did that I really obsessed over: Robert Mueller preparing to testify before Congress. I wanted the work to mean something. Now we're here.

This was not unexpected but I know a lot of EEOC investigators and I can’t imagine any of them encouraging my clients to get rid of their DEI policies and practices.

Donald Trump has revoked EO11246 signed by LBJ in 1965, mandating equal opportunities by federal contractors.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Whoever did this comic cover animation did a great job.

VERY important: ICE still needs judicial warrants before they can go into nonpublic areas. Not “administrative warrants.”

Put these two numbers into your phone. And then call every time you know a vote is coming up. I was an intern answering the phone many years ago at Senator Daniel Inouye's office. We literally had a sheet by the phone with hash marks and peeps' zip codes for/against certain pending legislation.

What Just Happened: Unpacking Exec Order on National Emergency at the Southern Border By leading expert @marknevitt.bsky.social #immigration #InsurrectionAct #nationalguard

Trump’s executive order purporting to end birthright citizenship is unconstitutional. It’s in direct conflict with both the plain language of the 14th Amendment and over a century’s worth of Supreme Court case law.

Democratic attorneys general sue to block Trump's plan to end automatic birthright citizenship: www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Maybe what EM did was a nazi salute and maybe it wasn't. But he was trolling, just like Laura Ingraham did a few year back. And he's gotten more than his miles worth with the trick.

Read the full thread on the history of birthright citizenship and the debates surrounding the 14th amendment.

BREAKING: We’re suing the Trump administration to block the president’s attempt to end birthright citizenship. An executive order does not have the power to override the Constitution.
