That Blue Devil cover feels like it has a lot of manga influence. Not just the big-eyes/small mouth, but the camera angle and body position.

Among other things wrong with America, bad anti-American people want to make it illegal to criticize this on college campuses. Some are Trumpists and some are happy to promote Trumpism if it helps them suppress criticism of Israel.

A US example I like is that a Confederate General, an immigrant who didn't get what the South was about named Cleburne, suggested freeing and arming slaves in 1863. Other generals thought this was treasonous and insane, Jeff Davis buried evidence of the scandal and it wasn't found for like 15 years.

Trump orders homeless he passed en route to golf course to leave Washington DC President demands unhoused residents leave US capital or face eviction and vowed to use officers to make arrests

Here’s a great article on the racist, fascist, anti-American madness and violence Trump is about to unleash in a city with *plummeting* crime rates and *no* epidemic of unhoused persons.

This is thinly veiled martial law, and we Americans will not accept it.

The image shows a message written in large white chalk letters on an asphalt surface, possibly in a parking lot. The text reads:

β€œPRISON WITHOUT DUE PROCESS IS A Concentration CAMP”

The words are arranged vertically in a stacked format, with some words in all capital letters for emphasis. A parking space divider line and a concrete wheel stop are visible to the left, and there’s a strip of grass along the right edge.

OK, a few things on this absurdity:
1. The 2020 Census was conducted by the Trump administration.
2. The only systematic results of undercounts that the Census has acknowledged were undercounting communities of color in almost all states.

Pagliacci goes to see Pagliacci. He's in the audience, but also on the stage. "Is this, fuck," he thinks. "Am I in a Lynch film right now. Am I in Mullholland Drive." Captured by confusion, horror, and strange, exultant sorrow, the clown must admit he is no longer depressed

Rivals launch fight over Kansas constitutional amendment to elect Supreme Court justices Those wanting merit-based selection of justices are keen to keep the status quo, while others seek to establish direct elections for justices.

With one year until the August 2026 primary election, the campaigns for and against a proposed amendment to the Kansas Constitution that would allow voters to directly elect justices to the Kansas Supreme Court are in full swing. https://loom.ly/PZ8WFig (@kansasreflector.com)

Deporting 4% of the population will not cause the wages of the native-born to rise, it will crash the economy, spark inflation, and raise unemployment.
