Black and white photo of Marjane Satrapi with the quote: "The world is not divided between East and West. You are American. I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same."

Once again.

When there are no consequences for the last bad thing, you'll get a next worse thing.

I love that we all know 90 percent of them will flip on a dime now, from “trump won’t send your sons to war” (like it’s only sons) to “trump is sending your sons to war and that’s good.”

A digital drawing of author Maia Kobabe, a white nonbinary person with short brown hair wearing a patterned blue shirt, who scowls while holding up a copy of eir book GENDER QUEER: A MEMOIR. Maia is saying: H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban my books, and any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps and say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

Thank you Eric!

Here’s a bit more info on DIANA— preorders are open now: bsky.app/profile/nate...

Very much missing the near-daily drawing of Diana and Jody over the past 6 years, slowly experiencing an evolution in their looks, personalities, backstories and motivations.

Here’s a panel from DIANA— out October 6th from Abrams!

John Lewis’s warnings have been on my mind today, as we see the direct vulnerabilities of downplaying civil rights as “activism lite”:

Kansas fascists negating many trans citizens’ licenses serves both genocidal aims (erasure from society) AND voter suppression (immediate disenfranchisement).

A tabby cat laying on a floor vent under a chair, belly up, slightly curled, paws tucked, his handsome white chin looking towards the camera, eyes tightly closed

Imagine the perfect life

a banner which reads Trans Rights Are Human Rights surrounded by stars and yellow roses

Being trans is a joy and a gift! Some folks are trying to take away that joy! We will not let them! We will become even more trans and more joyful as time goes on!

I’m transgender, I live in Kansas, if you want to help rn donate to either the ACLU of Kansas or the ACE foundation in Wichita - the ACE foundation especially is the organization that will help people with money for groceries, rent, etc. More orgs also included in attached img

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light

I wrote this comic 2 years ago. I was terrified when I wrote it but had hope it wouldn't come to pass and would be a reminder of how bad things got before we pulled back.

It not only has, it has gotten even worse. This is absolutely terrifying and will destroy lives if passed.

“Discussion of gender is not sexualization… [nor making] books available to students that represent the diversity of their experiences. Such an interpretation says far more about the adults and the perspectives they’re applying to books than it does about the books or their intended audiences.”

Trans rights are human rights and if one of is ain’t free then none of us are.

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

They are in an arms race against Americans

Epstein victims had been speaking both to federal officials and publicly since the 1990s. Admin after admin betrayed them. But instead of analysis of the continuity of conspiracy, it's falsely presented as "revelation". Much as the first Trump admin got memory-holed, now the Biden admin is too.

A double page spread from a New Mutants comic book with Professor X in his wheelchair being thrown backwards by a gunshot and the sound effect "BLAM" with a series of panels underneath it.

This Sienkiewicz double page spread from New Mutants 18 is why I never draw spokes on wheelchair wheels.

this is some bullshit. the Court is giving sovereign immunity to postal workers who allegedly engaged in intentional racial discrimination

Thomas's rationale is that you can't sue the government over lost mail, but there's a difference between mail that's lost and mail that's withheld bc of racism!

Lettering for a poster of Cleveland history to coincide w/ next month’s events there! Lunchtime interview & evening signing on 3/20, and a live drawing event at the art museum as artist-in-residence for the day on 3/21.

March: The Complete Trilogy details the early life of Congressman John Lewis, and his participation in campaigns for racial equality from the 1950s. It brings history to life with evocative art from @natepowell.bsky.social @topshelfcomix.bsky.social

This is worse when you see the quote because he is describing professors getting fired for calling Kirk a racist piece of shit and then his college fired him.
Also: the origins and defining ethos of Turning Point is getting professors fired. That part, and not free speech, is baked into their bones.

We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.

Thank you!

Last night at OAX I was stunned to receive the inaugural Jack & Roz Kirby Award for Independence, alongside a legendary crew of Kirby recipients— Zoe Thorogood, Bill Sienkiewicz, John Romita Jr., Kevin Nowlan, Walt Simonson & John Byrne!

My deepest thanks for even considering my work like this! 💜

Happy Birthday to John Lewis. Gone, but not forgotten. His powerful legacy lives on in our classrooms. Thank you @andrewaydin.bsky.social @natepowell.bsky.social for telling the inspiring story of the congressman in an engaging/inspiring way for us all. #goodtrouble www.pbs.org/education/bl...

John Lewis, Andrew Aydin and myself leading the march through SDCC, 2015!

Hell yeah— thank you for sending this my way!
