ICE Moved Detainees to Previously Undisclosed Floor of 26 Federal Plaza A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to reduce overcrowding and squalid conditions at a Manhattan holding room. Months later, he finds ICE merely shifted floors.

ICE officials under a judge’s order to clean up squalid conditions on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza detained migrants on a secret floor where they decided that ruling didn’t apply, attorneys for the Trump administration said Monday.

And I didn’t see ONE Dilbert cartoon posted in tribute. No one was like, “all time favorite gag! Hung this on every cubicle I had!”

It’s like his whole body of work evaporated years ago

THE WHITE HOUSE paid tribute to him and instead of posting one of his comics they used a fucked up A.I. picture! It was amazing!

Remember when Rob Reiner died and everyone was like okay here are my nine favorite movies he made

Jack Duffy attaches a respirator to his bagpipes to play through tear gas. “I always play it whenever the police retreat because it's like, ‘You fucking ran while we stayed,’” he says.

Hi there comrades! Hope you’re having a nice Monday.

Sharing some past examples as I’m looking to join a new project URGENTLY to relocate by late February regarding the aftermath of a recent housing legal issue.

My portfolio and contact info are in the comments! Thanks.

Thanks for your patience!

I heard back! Apparently the situation at ComiXology right now is a mess, but every issue of The Nasty is available digitally on GlobalComix and Neon Ichiban.

Great news!

Please consider donating to help my friend Paul, a great writer who’s been through a terrible time.

I have to say, I am very much enjoying Wes Streeting squirming and trying to save his chances of being Prime Minister one day with the gambit of, “No, I was never a friend of the disgraced pedophile associate, I just pretended to be in order to advance my career.”

Very funny for Anas Sarwar to call for Keir Starmer to resign and being so nakedly cynical and craven that it seems to have had the reverse effect and (for now) shored up Starmer’s internal support. Sarwar thinking he’d be the first drop in the deluge but instead being a lone plop of bird-shit.

It's been just over a year since leaving Dark Horse and I've grown a lot as a freelance editor. I'm really eager to get back to editing more comics and graphic novels this year, especially for authors in the indie space.

If you are crowdfunding or self-publishing please reach out for a chat!

Hold on, this Anas Sarwar? Surely not.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Thanks for sharing, Zack!

How many Prime Ministers must come and go before Scotland is deemed to have finally passed the “generation” we are arbitrarily being held to before being granted another Independence Referendum?

Also, please don’t take any of this posting as any kind of expression of sympathy for Keir Starmer. If he does end up huckled out of Number 10 over this, it will be a fitting end for an empty vessel who purged his party of anyone with vision or integrity in favour of craven opportunists.

Anyway, it is helpful and educational to learn that the depths of my contempt for Anas Sarwar have in fact NOT yet found their bottom.

"Kier Starmer must resign over a decision I supported and celebrated" is the purest distillation of Anas Sarwar, an absolute worm of a man
