More Art Than Time

A Nationwide Book Ban Bill Has Been Introduced in the House of Representatives Hours after the State of the Union address, House republicans introduced legislation banning LGBTQ+ books from public schools nationwide.

In America, the government protects documented s*x abusers of children and then tells everyone the real abuser is books with trans kids in them. Flood your reps' phone lines against this unforgiveable nationwide book banning bill: tinyurl.com/yc2k45x2

I've written up a brief script for anyone who wants to call or write your representatives regarding this bill (yes, even the ones you think won't care). PLEASE DO THIS IF YOU ARE ABLE. This bill *cannot* pass.

You can find your representatives here: www.congress.gov/members/find...

The level of rage I have towards the New York Times that enabled this while blaming us for it is indescribable.

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.

Unlike every other POTUS there's actually a nonzero chance Trump himself will read your comments so go into it knowing that you might have a hand in...uh...making history.

A scattering of half-painted comic pages in no particular order.

Because I would *like* to consider myself a comic artist, I am trying to finish coloring some of my comics and actually upload them where people can see them.

He dances in a way I have only seen horses dance. He possesses a power and majesty we will never know.

I specifically asked for it! Found you via Tiktok then Youtube and been watching your videos for about a year!

Truly an excellent investment! I got a copy for Christmas and it was my first read for the year!

We are off the cliff, folks. 🇺🇸

This morning, I got distracted while eating cheese because I remembered that the laughing cow is named Elsie and is married to Elmer the cow on the glue labels. To doublecheck that I hadn’t hallucinated that, I looked it up and fell down a dark internet rabbit hole.

Omg the laser eyes loon

The Democrats idea of fighting fascism.

F.D.A. Refuses to Review Moderna Flu Vaccine

This is troubling for multiple reasons, but one big one is companies won’t want to invest in R&D and clinical trials if they don’t think they can get a fair regulatory review—which is at the end of a long and extremely expensive process.

With Ring, American Consumers Built a Surveillance Dragnet Ring's 'Search Party' is dystopian surveillance accelerationism.

have never seen popular public opinion shift so fast about a surveillance product than the fallout from ring's super bowl "search party" ad. they'll teach this in advertising courses one day. chef's kiss baby www.404media.co/with-ring-am...

The extent to which this administration personally targets and continues the assault on people who embarrass and shame it is particularly despicable.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The regime is going to court to overrule a judge’s order to release 5 year old Liam Ramos from custody.

They’re spending tax dollars fighting to lock up a child

Arguing to send him back to a camp where children scream “let us out”.

A camp with a measles outbreak.

Monsters.

What I need Congress to understand is that like Trump, much of what ICE does in full view of the cameras is already illegal.

We don’t need more documentation of the crimes. We need consequences for the crimes.

Until you have a plan for that, I don’t want to hear about cameras and training.

What we found is bleak. Attorneys told us they’re struggling to get information in to or out of ICE and Customs and Border Protection facilities, which are holding nearly 69,000 people this month. And detainees often are forced to choose between remaining in crowded, squalid conditions or leaving the country immediately. Judges in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles have ordered the government to facilitate attorney-client communications at Homeland Security buildings. But attorneys say that doesn’t always happen. Even if detainees get the option, some worry they’ll be punished if they take it.

Lawyers can't reach clients in ICE detention. I've heard it anecdotally, but scale of issue is horrifying.

Bloomberg Law is a legal trade pub so many may miss this. Screenshot from their CA newsletter summarizes "bleak" situation for justice and rule of law.

Open again. Will make a proper post later, just looking for some buffer income in the meantime. Preparing for the winter storm earlier this month drained me.

YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

On this International Holocaust Remembrance Day:

May it be a contemplative day for all.
May it prompt us to confront where evil still festers in our society.
May it reaffirm our commitment to imagining and striving for a better world.

May we see peace and dignity for all people in this lifetime.
