A comic strip in six panels. Drawn in ink on white paperand signed by Tom Gauld in pencil. The panels inerlock like a jigsaw with knobs and sockets. Two stick figures walk right to left through all the panels. Panel 1: Person 1 says "I hear you're working on a new theory." Panel 2 & 3: Person 2 says: "Yes, I'm calling it the jigsaw model. I think it could change our whole View of reality." Panel 4: Person 1 says "When Will you publish?: Panel 5: Person 2 says "But a couple of things are still bothering me." (this piece/panel is a bit squint) Panel 6: This piece is rotated ninety degees and fits to the others very badly. Person 2 is saying "Soon. I feel like I'm really close" A second look at the whole comic shows that the last two panels read in the wrong order because the jigsaw has been put together incorrectly.

Uhm, won't CO2 kill you?

It is not a normal phase. An interest in history is normal. Discovering fascism and then recoiling in horror from it is normal. Discovering, and recoiling from the horrors and atrocities committed by fascism and authoritarian governments is normal.

White House budget director Vought SAYS HE WANTS TO shut down the CFPB within months, EVEN THO HE HAS NO AUTHORITY TO SHUT DOWN A CONGRESSIONALLY-CREATED AGENCY, saying, LIKELY WITH ZERO EVIDENCE, it’s no longer protecting customers.

How are we STILL doing such terrible headlines 10 months in.

Note to self: the species you're inventing never evolved sight. If anything, the opacity of the zero-g mobility support medium will make the initial setting even more disquieting.

Note to self, 2: Need to re-read some James White.

would love to know where vought got the authority to shutdown a government agency established by statute

Days since DHS last lied: 0

The only warning I have about this is, I'm on it.

Hello from Downtown Portland North Park Blocks!

Chicago pastor sues Trump admin after allegedly being shot by ICE agents Rev. David Black alleges ICE shot him without warning in Broadview; joins suit over protester rights violations.

This footage is from almost a month ago. What this clipped video doesn’t show is that these agitators were blocking an ICE vehicle from leaving the federal facility—impeding operations. Over and over again, law enforcement ordered these agitators to move off of federal property so the vehicle could move. Law enforcement verbally warned these agitators that they would use force if they did not move and stop impeding operations. They did not comply. Shortly after, rioters began throwing rocks, bottles and launching fireworks at the law enforcement officers on the roof. At the time of this incident, this facility held criminal illegal aliens including gang members, drug traffickers, and other violent criminals. Obstructing law enforcement puts officers, detainees and the public at risk. If you are obstructing law enforcement you can expect to be met with force. And, as an aside, this is the same “pastor” who flipped @Sec_Noem and our team the bird when we were there last week.

A lot going on here, but a religion note: DHS Assistant Sec. Tricia McLaughlin refers to Rev. Black as a "pastor" here — using quotation marks.

It's a notable slight against a faith leader's status, as Black is, in fact, an ordained minister of a church operating within the Presbytery of Chicago.

NEVER FORGET 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼

I didn’t know Tapper meant the sound Trump makes while texting.

I don't like him personally, but David Simon on AI is the final word on the subject.

A Federal Judge Shows How the Courts Should Deal With Trump’s Lies District Court Judge Karin Immergut’s opinion shows that courage in judging doesn’t require rhetoric or defiance—only the quiet insistence that facts still matter.

' His claim of emergency was “simply untethered to the facts.”

In straitlaced judicial prose, that’s as close as one can come to calling the president a liar. '

Thanks, Harry. @harrylitman.bsky.social #Portland

Tweet from Alex Tabarrok reads: “Sergio Garcia, celebrated Chef who came to the US before ICE even existed. Deported after 36 years. The picture tells you a lot about the decline of the Republican party.” Attached photo shows Sergio Garcia standing with Laura and George W. Bush outdoors. The photo is signed: “To Sergio Garcia, With best wishes – George & Laura Bush.”

This was never about deporting criminals. It’s about Stephen Miller’s campaign of ethnic cleansing.

Temporary Restraining Order to be granted tomorrow in the Chicago case filed by journalists, pastors, and others hit with riot control munitions by ICE!

These people vote too,

I'm in the most exciting city on earth! Time for some WACKY BIG APPLE SHENANIGANS!

Tweet from Aaron Reichlin-Melnick quoting Laura N. Rodríguez Presa. Aaron’s comment: “DHS is an escalation spiral; the more they do things like this, the more people on the ground push back... and I'm deeply worried what the ultimate result will be.” Laura’s tweet reads: “A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them... Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents ICE activity, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.” Attached photo shows a federal agent inside a vehicle pointing a rifle out of the driver’s side window.

This is well said. Trump and Noem need to back off before we have another Kent State tragedy.

And there it is.

Still waiting on that health care plan, Donald.

of course I have a girlfriend. you don't know her. she belongs to a different antifa, in Canada

In celebration of World Octopus Day, we wanted to revisit one of our favorite cephalopod sightings, the glass octopus — Vitreledonella richardi filmed during a month-long #PhoenixIslandsCoral expedition in 2021.

"the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa"

They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office
