see you on the other side

we've got Schumer calling for Miller's head, folks

we're dragging them kicking and screaming in the right direction, keep it up

ICE has killed 9 folks in the first 26 days of ‘26:

• Alex Pretti
• Renee Good
• Keith Porter
• Heber Sanchaz Domínguez
• Victor Manuel Diaz
• Parady La
• Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz
• Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres
• Geraldo Lunas Campos

They all deserve justice. And for us to remember their names.

There is going to come a time in your life when you are chatting with a guy, at a barbecue or something, a new coworker maybe, a dad at school drop off, and he tells you he used to be in ICE. You’re going to need to spit on that guy

THEY USED A FIVE YEAR OLD AS BAIT

This line graph illustrates the percentage change in agency staff levels from the previous year for nine major U.S. federal scientific and health organizations between the fiscal years 2016 and 2025. The agencies tracked include the CDC, Department of Energy, EPA, FDA, NASA, NIH, NIST, NOAA, and NSF. For the majority of the timeline between 2016 and 2023, the agencies show relatively stable fluctuations, generally staying within a range of +5% to -5% change per year. However, there is a dramatic and uniform plummet starting in the 2024–25 period. Every agency depicted shows a sharp downward trajectory, with staffing losses ranging from approximately -15% to over -25%. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows the most significant decline, dropping to roughly -26%, while the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows the least severe but still substantial drop at approximately -15%.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

The indie Filipino short film "The Lovers" (Studio Heartbreak) is now complete, and will be released this summer on Youtube.
In the meantime, here's a nice official poster illustrated by Ami Thompson.

4 Lakota men were kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis. 3 of them were taken to what used to be a concentration camp for Native people, and the only people talking about it are other Indigenous people. I am angry but mostly numb, I am so used to this at this point. We are always forgotten.

Furious Democrats threaten government shutdown after Minneapolis shooting "We can't just keep authorizing money for these illegal killers," said Rep. Pramila Jayapal.

About god damn time.

Two queer women with a 6 year old in school today stopped to film ICE and for their bravery ICE agents murdered one before the other’s eyes. The grief in the survivor’s voice is a knife to the gut. Destroying people and their bonds is what ICE has always done.

love how citizens have to police themselves at every turn in the tiniest possible ways but a guy can be captured from 5 different angles in media res murdering somebody and everyone has to scream and demand that he ever face consequences

2026 is the year of the what? (🐎)

Avatar luulapants 1d If you're in the US, now is a great time to talk to the young people in your life about the US military:

The recruiter is not your friend. The military employs child psychologists to learn how to make you think the recruiter is your friend. The recruiter is allowed to lie to you and makes more money if they do. The recruiter is paid a commission to groom children into cannon fodder. The recruiter will tell you you're special and will go into special smart soldier programs instead of combat. They're lying. The recruiter may tell you they can tell if someone can get PTSD or not and only recruit people like you, who won't. They're lying. The recruiter may tell you you'll be too busy attending free college (!!) to go overseas. They're lying. The recruiter may ask what countries you want to travel to and promise you bougie placements on military bases in those countries. They're lying.

Even "It's just four years!" is a lie - the government is allowed to hold you past your enlistment period with a stop-loss order. The recruiter actually has zero power to decide anything that happens to you after you enlist and they more importantly don't care what happens to you. If you enlist, you will be brainwashed to make you willing to do things to other humans that you would never be willing to do today. You will be ordered to do things that will kill children. And you'll do them. The military is not the only way or even the best way for you to go to college or start a career.

Military brainwashing will actually make you into a terrible university student because it degrades your ability to think critically and question your sources. Having PTSD and/or a TBI will make it harder to be a student and keep a job. Veterans' benefits suck these days. Being a veteran drastically increases your risk of homelessness, suicide, alcohol and drug dependence, prison time, and becoming an abuser to your loved ones. The military will expose you to chemicals that will drastically increase your chances of developing cancer. The military will withhold information about your rights to conscientiously object after enlisting. A lot can change in four years.

If you need a reason not to enlist, there's many.

Sorry to retweet a bunch of these but I wasn't seeing actual sources on my TL

A little Magnus Archive tribute that I did back in 2021.

I ended up heavily modifying a free spider-rig I found. I miss doing animation like this.

Last art of the year! Happy New Year! I want to thank you all for liking my art! This was the first year when I truly fell in love with art and creating after a long time. Can't wait to grow even more and create even more art next year!!! Cheers! #malevolent #malevolentpodcast

the thumbnail vs the final storyboard

A scan of an ink and screen tone picture of Mollymauk, the tiefling bloodhunter from Critical Role campaign 2. His back is to the camera, looking over his shoulder at us. He’s wearing his fabulous, be-symbolic coat, and wielding both of his scimitars. Over the figure is a scroll , bearing the text “be the chaos you want to see in the world”

Going through old work is always fun. Found a scan of this commission of #CriticalRole’s Mollymauk!

*WAILS*
