A small comics panel - foreground lady justice holding the scales in one a prison cell in the other a court house. In the background, all dark, human figures, faceless prisoners, seated, packed tightly together, bodies merging into a sea of heads, with each figure’s head another’s back. Caption at top “What Process is Due?” Text caption: “Succinctly, due process means no one shall be deprived of “life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.”  Next Caption: “this is not optional." This next caption is now on the scales of justice - right about the prison cell side: “Before bringing down the power of the state to remove a person’s rights,” Caption, above the other side of the scale, wherein a courthouse is held: “we raise up the protection of the law, this extends to everyone -“ caption now right over where Lady Justice’s blindfold is, obscuring it entirely: “No matter who you are.” Caption below: “whatever we think of you, whatever you might have done,” Caption: “it’s’ imperative everyone be treated fairly,” final caption lower right: “to ensure freedome for all.” and here we see a tiny image of the statue of liberty’s torch and hand.  Nick Sousanis 5/25 @nsousanis.bsky.social www.spinweaveandcut.com 

Due Process in short: it's not optional, it must apply to everyone - whoever they are - to ensure freedom for all.

Cartoon on the front page of the NY Daily News. By veteran cartoonist Bill Bramhall. Trump holds hgands with Putin and shoots Uncle Sam in the head. The headline: "Open Treason."

I love that there's still a paper that makes a political cartoon the centerpiece of its front page. This was once commonplace.

I’m depressed as hell about what is happening. The dismantling of our country. The fear being sowed in our communities. The eroding of our freedoms. But we have to keep going, right? For our kids, for our neighbors and loved ones… Resist.

I didn’t truly appreciate him until I was in my late 20’s. Genius.
