Seized Art, Eavesdropping Guards: Parents Describe a Clampdown at Dilley Detention Center as Kids Shared Their Stories Detainees told ProPublica that art supplies have been removed in room searches, immigrants have lost access to Gmail and staff hover within earshot during video calls.

NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims.

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

Cover I illustrated and lettered for the new YA horror thriller from @ajwhiteauthor.bsky.social ! Available for pre-order and out October 20 :-)

Nat oh my God this illustration is SO cute

I sent a genuine message expressing my misgivings (as opposed to the energy I usually bring to, say, a senator) and got a response from someone within a day. I do think it's worth not just yelling at them and actually explaining how you feel about this move

It's official, HAVEN and the Fallen Giants is coming June 16th!
Preorder here: bit.ly/havengiant 💖🥹

This story has been YEARS in the making and we are so stoked we can finally share it!!

NOW is the time to make calls to your reps about KOSA, SCREEN act, section 230 and more

Call your legislators. Speak to office aides. Leave messages. Do so every day. Be loud and annoying. Get family and friends to join in.

A field of wildflowers and butterflies with a few bumblebees. The text reads, “They think of people as pests to be driven out and crushed. But diversity is what makes a garden thrive.”

A group of different sizes and shapes of lit candles. The text reads, “they think kindness and empathy are a weakness. But it has kept communities warm from the biting cold for centuries.”

Different protest signs, fist raised and the Minnesota flag. Some of the signs read: ICE OUT. Badges don’t excuse brutality. Compassion is not a crime. Chinga la migra. Immigrants make America great. The text below reads, “They think our fear and their cruelty will force us into compliance. They are wrong.”

Against the starry space, a group of folks from different walks of life and culture hold hands around the Earth. The text reads, “We will be a fellowship that protects our neighbors and works towards a world that shares its goodwill with one another.”

Things are still scary and uncertain here in Minnesota but the community is strong and so is our love

a bright, neon drawing done in pencil crayon, and a collapsing, on fire city behind idyllic plains. a person and a horse have made camp by a fire, and the person is staring into it while saying "man...". I'm shown below this, sleeping and looking annoyed. text: xx-8am: Dreams of TLOU, living in the apocalypse & being annoyed at still having to go to work...I'm sure it means nothing.

Hourlies are upon us! Good morning*
