A federal defense contractor is inquiring about reserving hundreds of hotel rooms on the Oregon coast for a year, the city of Newport said Tuesday. It’s the latest sign that a suspected effort to build an immigrant detention center on the coast has not gone away.

The one about comic book page rates – again. News flash: Comic book page rates are STILL stagnant, after all these years, and for indie cartoonists it's even harder

Worry has been swirling in Newport this month as a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter has disappeared from the coastal community's airport with crabbing season around the corner. And recent evidence suggests an ICE detention facility may take its place.
With ICE (maybe) waiting in the wings, Newport sits in limbo
A missing helicopter and a possible immigrant detention center have roiled the coastal city.

There’s only 3 things you can do in the comic book industry. Setting aside formats, genres, delivery,for a minute: 3 things. 1: Work for 7-8 publishers. 2: find a rich guy (one rich guy or small pub headed by rich guy) 3: self-publish (crowdfund, etc). That’s it. It’s not easy, good luck.

OTD in 2014, police officer Timothy Loehmann killed 12-year-old Tamir Rice—a Black child—in 1.7 seconds as Tamir played in a park.
People often talk about those 1.7 seconds—but forget about the 4 minutes. After Loehmann shot Tamir, he refused to let anyone get near him for 4 agonizing minutes.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.
