Art shows the Co-op's mascots Inkling and Nibford busting through a wall of black bricks, revealing red comic panels behind it. Text in a word balloon reads "Free Expression Now!"
In the second image, black text reads โThe Cartoonist Cooperative Demands Free Expression: A Statement Against Censorship in Comics and the Artsโ on a background of whited out red comic panels.
The third image shows the same whited-out red comic panels and reads โThe Cartoonist Cooperative is committed to forging a world where all are allowed the freedom to create and partake in art where all are free to choose and engage with a wide range of political, moral, and aesthetic ideas, beyond those held by any single institution, government, or religious group. Censorship is always a tool of the state to suppress dissent, fracture communities, and instill ignorance and fear. The Cartoonist Cooperative is firmly anti-censorship in all forms.โ
The Cartoonist Cooperative collectively stands against censorship and views it as our communal responsibility to fight for freedom of speech. We are committed to forging a world where all are allowed the freedom to create and partake in art!

We should not fund a Department of Homeland Security that terrorizes children and forces them to spend their dying days trying to see their father one last time.

Garland has refused to investigate Kushner. A likely reason is that, were he to investigate Kushner โ who remains a profound national security threat โ he would also be investigating his best friend. It is one big club, and it is destroying our country.
From 2023, on Garland, Kushner, and more.
You need to grasp that the people who defended Garland and the DOJ did so to protect Epstein and his broader syndicate. That's why they were so vicious and obsessive about defending the DOJ during the Biden years:
