They know, and they’re afraid. So we need to be careful and keep the momentum. Scared fascists can be even more dangerous, so we need to make them understand where, exactly, and how precariously, they stand. And that there are more of us than them.

You have until Sunday SUNDAY Sunday to order a Biology is Bigger than Binaries shirt. I don't have room in my house for piles of shirts so our shirts are always time-limited.

Dogs are social animals, they are tuned to recognize signs of distress among their own, as well as us. I’m not at all surprised that your dog responded that way to a movie centered around a dog in such a situation.

You can donate to the Chicago Street Vendor Relief Fund to help buy out a local street vendor’s cart for the day. They’ve partnered with a bike patrol / cycling solidarity group, which rides around buying out the inventory then distributing the food at homeless & unhoused encampments & shelters.

Would that I could affort it…

Though as soon as this week’s paycheck clears, I’m gonna buy your two books on pencils and inks. In part because I want to have a copy of some of your work, but mostly to support you and yours. Because you need it and I can help a little.

4 frame comic.
in the first frame, there's a giant banner of Trump on a building. text reads : authoritarianism in the 21st
century tends to appear through
what is called a process of
"democratic backsliding" (also
called "autocratization") rather
than through a traditional coup.
this allows the new regime to
claim some kind of legitimacy.

2nd frame shows a silhouette of trump. text reads : democratic backsliding is
when an elected executive uses
power to subvert democratic
institutions by attacking fair &
free elections, suppressing
freedom of speech, press & asso-
ciation, or weakening the rule
of law

in the 3rd frame, we see a nazi parade in the 30s. text reads : according to
political scientists mettler &
lieberman, there are four key
characteristics that provide the
conditions for democratic back-
sliding: political polarization,
racism and nativism, economic
inequality, and excessive
executive power.

in the last frame, we see the white house. text reads : in a report published in sept.
2025, the intl. institute for demo-
cracy and electoral assistance
found that 54% of the world's
countries experienced democratic
backsliding in the past year. that
includes the united states.

"Democratic backsliding" is the process through which modern authoritarianism happens.
