Obsessed with this dispatch from the Luigi Mangione hearing by @miasato.bsky.social — and these illustrations by @mollycrabapple.bsky.social are exactly why we need artists in this age of AI slop! www.theverge.com/law/617946/l...

New: My dispatch from the hottest club in New York City on Friday — the Luigi Mangione hearing. Truly one of the most fascinating scenes I’ve ever witnessed. With illustrations from inside the courtroom by the great Molly Crabapple www.theverge.com/law/617946/l...

Luigi Mangione, accused of killing the UnitedHealth CEO, was back in court on February 21. Hundreds of supporters packed the courthouse and the streets outside.  Read more from @miasato.bsky.social on the ground: www.theverge.com/law/617946/l...

Good news everyone: Thanks to Molly Crabapple, there is now a courtroom drawing of Luigi where he looks accurately hot www.theverge.com/law/617946/l...

Claire Marie caught me in action drawing Luigi Mangione’s supporters at his hearing yesterday. More to come tomorrow on @theverge.com

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

Watching Talia Jane report is a thing to behold. Big respect

I love these kings (from the Luigi Mangione hearing today, which I drew for @theverge.com )

The US flew hundreds of migrants from Asian countries including India, Iran, and China to Panama, where they are now locked in cages in a disease-ridden jungle concentration camp www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/w...

Bravo to Mohammed El Kurd. A great book, sharp as a diamond

“Perhaps the greatest of these sins is convincing ourselves that posting is a form of political activism, when it is at best a coping mechanism—an individualist solution to problems that can only be solved by collective action.” www.404media.co/you-cant-pos...

Trump just said he’s calling for the full forcible transfer of all 1.8 million Gazans out of the strip and says “The US will take over the Gaza Strip”

These are the first silkscreens I ever printed myself. I only have two of these left. I drew the original piece of contortionist Amanda Whip when she posed at 4am at one of my parties www.mollycrabapple.com/shop/p/new-b...

Learned so much from this essay by @mollycrabapple.bsky.social about the incredible history of the huge,socialist anti-zionist Jewish Bund: thefunambulist.net/magazine/the...

"The Bund believed that Eastern European Jews had the right to stay in Eastern Europe. To leave meant letting their tormentors win. The Bund coined a word for this stubborn insistence on staying: #Doikayt (Hereness)" An absolute must-read by the inimitable @mollycrabapple.bsky.social

“We are not strangers here and not guests, even though the Russian government considers us as such... We demand and fight for that which belongs to us, for human, civil and political rights.” From @mollycrabapple.bsky.social on the Bund in The Funambulist

“When I post about the Bund, Zionists often remind me that many of their members were gassed in Auschwitz. They sometimes wish me the same. This makes me think of fascism’s first form of forgetting. Before fascism erases the other, it must purify the self” thefunambulist.net/magazine/the...

Donald Trump is trying to burn down what's left of the social safety net on behalf of his billionaire friends and Eric Adams has ruled out ever criticizing him in public. This city needs a fighter, not a sycophant.

*PRINT FOR SALE* In 2021, New York City taxi drivers went on hunger strike to protest the crushing medallion debt. They won. I drew this of their protest 10% of all proceeds go the the New York Taxi Workers Alliance www.mollycrabapple.com/shop/p/how-t...

America’s Sweetheart (intaglio on Hahnemuhle copperplate paper with watercolor accent, printed today at Robert Blackburn Studios)

I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know. In payment, I'd like to boil the world's oceans dry, & steal all literature. For some reason, my head is not on a spike

I drew this print in 2019, in Puerto Rico, during the summer protests that evicted the pustullent nepo-baby Ricky Rosallo from his seat as governor 🇵🇷Only ten prints left. Ships free to Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 www.mollycrabapple.com/shop/p/veran...
