From 'A Haunted Girl' to an Undaunted Girl
My daughter is now the face of a nationwide PSA on teen mental health stemming from the advocacy we've been doing with our comic book series.

So my daughter is the face of a nationwide Congressional PSA on teenage mental health that launched today. She was chosen based on her advocacy stemming from our @imagecomics.com comic, A HAUNTED GIRL (co-created by her, me, & @marcolorenzana.bsky.social)!

There is something all of us can do to rein in ICE's reign of terror. The Department of Homeland Security is currently funded only through January 30, and the new funding bill is vulnerable.

The one thing authoritarian leaders usually have going for them is the general apathy of the majority when they make a move solely against a marginal group in society.
But when they occupy an entire city with clumsy, brutal force, that just forces everyone out of that apathy.

These baseless probes are yet another escalation in the Trump regime’s attack on the rights of transgender youth.
Let’s be clear: These investigations do not change New York law, which protects trans students’ rights to join sport teams consistent with their gender identity.

On Fox 9 just now they interviewed a woman at the scene in Minneapolis. She says she’s not an activist but felt a call to action like she hasn’t felt since 9/11. She says she was raised to love America. She says she’s never felt scared of the government in her life, until now.

Your regular reminder that there is no legal path from martial law to suspending elections in this country.
That doesn't mean there is no path. It just means that we need to reject the framing that the federal government has any legal authority to cease elections.

Remember that elections are held at the state/county level. The county clerk (an elected position) oversees and transmits the tallies. Voter suppression's true levers are things like removing access and intimidation. You can fight back by volunteering as poll workers, supporting voter rights orgs

ICE must be abolished. It has become a lawless, rogue agency. Federal law enforcement agencies must follow the law, if they're going to have any credibility enforcing it.
We are demanding justice for Renee Good and the prosecution of ICE agent Jonathan Ross for her murder.

Trump says a lot of deranged shit, but, per this Reuters article — and the threats of invoking the Insurrection Act in Minnesota this morning — he is very clearly exploring how to cancel the midterms.

These times deserved a better @nytimes.com. I think back to February 2024 when Trump said he would 'encourage' Russia to attack Nato allies. And it didn't make A1. Less than a year later, Greenland is under threat.
Great reporters, but repeated failures in news judgment by the top of the masthead.

NYTimes has truly outdone itself with this latest in its "ask white guys in diner" genre. Thank goodness we get a perspective on what's happening in Minneapolis from people in **Nisswa** who probably mean Brainerd when they say they "prefer not to go the city anymore" www.nytimes.com/2026/01/15/u...

The only way this could be worse if "Lady Punisher" wasn't a name but a description of what the character does.
I have seen so many good comics projects on Kickstarter not make their goal and my fear is that if this shit gets funded I will become a raving lunatic.
