The television content that plays outside at the individual gas station pumps feels demonic to me somehow. Not real programming. Shrieks from the shadow realm

This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per weekβ€”and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.

It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.

An opinion that makes you a fringe radical in this country is that the life of a person who is not an American citizen is not an abstraction, and is worth just as much as that of an American citizen

Over the holidays I played Legos with my 4-year-old nephew and I watched him round up all the sparkly crystalline bricks while whispering to himself β€œBeautiful. Beautiful. Only beautiful things” and this has become a permanent part of my lexicon

The lack of media coverage about the bombing of the girls elementary schools is shocking.

The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.

Thinking lovingly of my friend, collaborator, and hero John Lewisβ€” who would’ve been 86 years old today. Transformed by our years together, and by his trust in us to help communicate his experiences to new generations in the ongoing struggle to deliver the still-incomplete promises of democracy. πŸ’œ

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre.

She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s.

Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

RIP Reverend Jesse Jackson. I give respect to him - and his 1988 presidential campaign - in my upcoming graphic novel Nick Pope: Summer of '88, when Nick meets with Don, his art mentor. (Art by Raymond Klecker.) #jessejackson #graphicnovel

If you like making love to music, put on a live album. That way, you get applause every two to four minutes.
