Comics retailing legend Greg Ketter standing up to ICE in Minneapolis. Yes, that's tear gas. He's 70 years old.

People are being executed in the street over a problem that straight up does not exist and both parties are complicit in the lie

It has finally reached a point where a .6mm Rapidograph pen is both too expensive and difficult to find, and I can no longer justify asking the students in my Lettering class to get one. Truly the end of an era 😞🙏

literally was the thing that would play every morning when my parents' clock radio woke them up

holy shit dude that thing is incredible

I say ACAB not because I'm making some assumption, but because it is factually apparent that every day these goons wake up and continue to actively make the choice to participate in a reprehensibly amoral organization. They could put down their arms and refuse. But they don't.

Every cop, every ICE agent, they see all this shit. Ladies getting shot in the face. Children kidnapped. People dragged from their cars or homes, and beaten in the street. Families torn apart. They see this shit, and every day choose to wake up and go to work for the institution that's responsible.

Recently, while traveling outside the US, I made some ACAB comments and received a little pushback from someone I was with. "It's not good to make generalizations," he said. But let me be clear, when I say ACAB that's not a generalization, it's an observation of fact.

I can't claim to know precisely where the line is between right and wrong in any given situation, but I can tell you confidently that shooting a lady in the goddamn face for no reason falls distinctly on the "wrong" side.

For the record, this is what you do when you're given orders that cross a clear moral boundary. You quit. I'd tell all you cops and ICE boys to take note, but it seems we may fundamentally disagree about where those boundaries are.

Trying to live my life so that when I die it’s a “pour one out for a real one” scenario over a “rest in piss” situation

I can only assume Adams will be laid to rest in a Dilbert-shaped mausoleum

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003

when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

It is my favorite time of year, when scripts for the next issue of Spitball start hitting my inbox!

Ideas are nothing; finished work is everything. Sit down and do it.

ugh that the worst

~✨sending good vibes✨~

GoFundMe’s Terms of Service absolutely do not allow funds to be raised for the legal defense of a violent crime (including murder!). Please report this asshole.

Can confirm! I know someone who did this recently when they had a foot injury.

I’m old enough to remember the late 2000s, when redpill dudes were starting to mobilize online

various feminists and queer activists and historians wrote fairly regularly about misogyny as the canary in the coal mine of fascism

I can still hear the crickets

My experience was not that we didn't take to these things, but rather that they were taken from us.

As an elder millennial ('86), I'm not sure I'd agree that we didn't take to these things! I remember both being extremely culturally significant and things my peers actively engaged with and/or contributed to. But as the internet grew throughout the 00s these outlets lost funding and disappeared.

oh god that's exactly what this is

Because the woman below survived, the Federal government was obligated to charge her with the crime she was allegedly committing when shot, meaning they had to investigate it. That investigation showed she was innocent.

Since Ms Good did not survive, they don't need to investigate what she did.

One that has stuck with me happened a few years ago here in Columbus. Joey Haynes was a 16yo kid, shot in front of his mom and grandmother INSIDE A COURTROOM while appearing for a juvenile court hearing.

damn you're on a roll though 💪📚

I put a small space heater directly under my drafting table and heat collects there enough that it keeps me pretty warm. I did burn the shit out of my leg last year though, so yknow, use caution

Disconcerting to hear the iHeart "guaranteed human" tagline followed *immediately* by an ad for AI products
