Sorry for using comics and art to vent and cope with the world changing around me. I will return to drawing whimsical and silly frog wizards and adventures.

Reminder that Adolph Hitler, the Ayatollah Khamenei and Vlad Putin were all Time's People of the Year, so you can decide for yourself on which side of the split this grouping fits

This sentence has been caught in my teeth for days, chewy and true and hard to live up to—

We're given so many chances to sell out [everything]. Good to remember it's not an imperative.

This is horrific and entirely preventable given that they were pleading for help with harassment and threats for TWO YEARS.

Happy 80th anniversary of Hitler killing himself in his bunker to all who celebrate, which, as I now understand it, is not everybody

Elon Musk, mass murderer

Nearly everything Trump has done in 40 days has helped Russia, Elon Musk, and billionaires at the expense of most working Americans, his own base, and our international allies.

It might take a few months, or a year, but enough people will eventually figure it out.

The new pancreatic cancer vaccine being successfully tested is an mRNA vaccine.

Enjoy your cancer, Iowa.

INVALIDATING THE INSTITUTIONS THAT HAVE THE POWER TO STOP YOU IS A COUP

You aren't letting anyone down by taking a day off from the news.

The shitshow will be there tomorrow.

Others can churn rage on your behalf while you breathe and keep yourself safe.

You are not doing patriotism wrong by ensuring you don't lose your mind every single moment of every single day.

That’s immediately what came to mind for me as well. So good!

All the people saying Trump can't do this or that because it's illegal and against the law or yadda yadda yadda don't realize that REPUBLICANS DON'T CARE. They have power. They will flex their power. This is why elections matter, folks.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Opinion | Tulsi Gabbard Fits Right Into Trump’s Vision for America (Gift Article) Perhaps none of President Trump’s picks for his new cabinet embody his worldview better than former Representative Tulsi Gabbard.

Literally the only NYT column I’ve read in months, because @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social wrote it.
“If one thinks like an autocrat, the foremost quality that would seem to disqualify her from service — a simple lack of experience — is an asset, not a liability.”

i feel like we aren’t talking about the grief we are all holding for what once felt possible and now feels so incredibly far away

I am admittedly puzzled how this absurdly bullshit fascist thing that did not exist before suddenly exists without any oversight or via any meaningful procedure and it just shows up, has power, has access, plans awfulness.

It's not by chance that TikTok went down days before a new US president steps into power. Controlling the narrative and the vessels for transmitting the narrative is how you control the population, a textbook play modernized by Joseph Goebbels, n*zi propagandist for the third reich

It’s lovely! The colors are so vibrant and joyful.

The thing is, I feel like if someone truly, accidentally, & unintentionally made a n*zi salute on a national stage, they would be appropriately horrified by it and apologize. And when they don’t ….. it says everything.

People often ask me why I’m outspoken about trans rights. I’m not trans so “why do you care?”

I care because what the government is doing to trans people is wrong. I care because we are being conditioned to accept atrocities. 🧵

“Books teaching communication have a rule: If somebody is misunderstood during a speech or conversation, it’s the fault of the communicator, not the listener; it’s the responsibility of the person speaking to ensure they’re correctly understood.”

This is a fascinating ride.

Stay strong and know you’re loved!

Hell is empty,
And all the devils are here.
