I tried doing one shirt design at a time for most of last year but I decided I'm going to try occasionally doing two designs at a time this year because, tbh, I'm probably going to have a big rent increase this year

I know you all love The Fartlantic today because of that one article but please try to remember that they played an instrumental role in the rise of fascism in the US and you do not, in fact, have to hand it to them.

A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all.
Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

We’re knee deep in a class war and the Democratic and Republican parties are on the other side playing a game of good cop / bad cop.
At long last, look at how Democrats helped create the modern police state and helped ICE grow. See their performed helplessness for what it is.

At the risk of repeating myself, fuck Gavin Newsom and his inferior business cards
Literally twelve days ago Gavin Newsom apologized to Ben Shapiro for saying that ICE was "state-sponsored terrorism" and now he's calling Bovino a Nazi? He's a power-hungry psychopath who doesn't actually believe in anything.

Calling transphobia a 'gateway drug' to the far right undersells it. It's pure accelerant. Grimly fascinating to guess what crankery becomes any famous transphobe's secondary obsession, cos they all have one: 15 minute cities are fascism! Grok noncing is cool! ICE are good! We should kill all dogs!

CBP is not a benign entity. They always killed with impunity because they were never held accountable. I invite you to revisit Hernandez v Mesa, a case where SCOTUS dismissed a lawsuit against a CBP agent who shot and killed 15-year-old boy who was been playing with his friends *across the border*!

It’s not choking if it’s intentional, and I hope that anyone who still thinks the US has an opposition party finally snaps out of it.
Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”
Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.
So pathetic and weak.
