Just ordered it! Thanks for writing this and posting!
Wonderful intro to the new edition. Looking forward to reading more!
And links to X too. I was surprised that the only socials on Stacey Abrams’ new 10 Steps coalition are Facebook, Instagram, and X. 10stepscampaign.org
This is a really incredible piece. Share it widely 🎁https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/2026/01/minneapolis-uprising/685755/?gift=C-rzmQ8PsUHt15odxTKJDn7xrpPNxSpotkNz_P27oI0
Thanks for the reminder! Done!
Protestors with anti-ICE signs along a busy road
Protest sign with comic. Renee Good says from her SUV “That’s fine. I’m not mad at you, Dude.” Gunfire in red: bam! Bam! Bam! ICE agents surround the SUV. One says “F**ing b**tch!” The other sign says protect and server or shoot to kill?
One protest sign says”Y’all means all except ICE” The other says “ICE out for Good.”
Protests along both sides of Capital Blvd in Raleigh today. So windy and cold. My sign nearly got away, but the hands of a cartoonist are strong! Here’s the scene and the signs I made. #iceout #raleigh #indivisible #protestsigns #proteststoday
Raleigh on *Sunday* from noon to 2
Raleigh from noon to 2, Cary from 2 to 4, and more! NC turns out! www.mobilize.us?tag_ids=2913...
This made me say “wow” out loud. Great technique. I’d be pleased too!

Ending my favorite podcast on Thanksgiving? Please say this is a dream. Really love dancing to your theme music and hearing your silliness and insight
Yes, if you lean towards it at all. Spending money on live arts and enriching yourself with Shakespeare seems generous, fulfilling, and fun.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.
First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner
First Halloween for the new wall. Great place for pumpkins and warty big squash. #halloween #pumpkins #stonewall #naturallandscaping

46 minutes in, look to the right edge for my red, white, and blue beads and my sign saying “united against racist unconstitutional congressional maps.” These were my beloved MIL’s beads for marches, lobbying, and the 4th of July. Without her beads, you’d never pick me out.
Rev. Barber speaking surrounded by supporters. Signs say “Stop the steal” and “District 1 is our Edmund Pettus bridge”
Supporters hold signs including “Keep the Black Belt whole” and “We won’t be diluted, dismissed, or denied”

Reverend William Barber spelled out the GOP lies and the unfair, racist new district map they just approved for NC, flipping one district from blue to red. #repairersofthebreach #gerrymandering #nc #raleigh #votingrights

Comic panel showing protestors on a highway overpass with a No Kings sign, American and rainbow flags, and a peace sign. In a car below, someone says “Look! There’s the Bridge Brigade!” Someone else replies “Let’s ask JJ to brunch. He’s part of it.” A motorcyclist cheers the protestors: “Whoohoo!”
The main characters in my comic strip would have been at a #NoKings protest today. Follow their efforts to build a kind, just, and green world at ourturning.com

#nokings rally in north #Raleigh. Huge cheerful, peaceful turnout demanding change. Signs protested our loss of freedom, voting rights, and democracy. The wolf in the business suit is holding a bag of money and a sign that says “Beware of fascist wolves in Republican clothing.” #resist #NC
after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US.

Purring at your witty and on point list of platforms. Excellent he’ll scape comic above it too. 🔥
Beautiful and inspiring!
Yaay to car-light. We are too, and with an electric car save even more on fuel and maintenance. I invest the savings in comics. ☀️
Yes!

More signs from #WorkersOverBillionaires in #Raleigh #LaborDay
About a thousand people in Raleigh for #WorkersOverBillionaires protest. Good speeches, short march, perfect weather. A grandmother I marched next to said she was there for family and friends afraid to risk public protest.

Joanna Macy is an ancestor now. What a gift it has been for us to have her on the planet these past 96 years. May we carry her legacy onward, ever loving the Earth and all her creatures.
