Imagine having a condition that forces your body to change into a gender that isn't who you are, against your will. Not because there isn't treatment, but bc the government is run by fundamentalists who believe medical intervention subverts the will of God.

That's become reality for some of us.

If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.

Independent comics as an industry would barely exist these days without the tireless efforts of Kickstarter's staff behind the scenes. As they advise, keep supporting all the amazing projects you already are, but have their back in the process.

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️

As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike.

WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

Kickstarter United is on strike!
We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform
swipe for ways to show your solidarity

Why We're Striking
A codified 4-day work week.
We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work.
Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers.
We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.

Before you vote in special elections, remember:
-Trump has fired tens of thousands of hard-working Americans, including vets
- His tariffs will be the equivalent of one of the largest tax increase in history.
- Congressional republicans ARE DOING NOTHING to PROTECT their CONSTITUENTS

Reality sucks, I want video game rules 😤

This comic is public on Patreon with some additional commentary: www.patreon.com/posts/dirt-b...

#comicoop #comics

A two panel comic in which apricot, their dad, and their sister (who has a baby on her back) are all hiking up a hill on a clear day. In panel one, the sister says "The race track is different this year to avoid all the windmill construction (so they gotta go around it.)
In the next panel, apricot looks disappointed and bitter as they look down and note, "...In a video game you'd get to ride THROUGH the construction sites..."

A good example of Dems not adapting to MAGA war mindset is that they keep telling reporters they can't engage on Trump's military occupations because it's a "trap" to entice them into a losing debate about crime. That concedes too much up front and plays by old rules.

4. Netflix, however, didn’t flinch—and a week later, its stock is up, the boycott a fizzle rather than a firestorm, a hollow echo of the successful Disney backlash led by liberals around the same time that followed Jimmy Kimmel’s firing.

1. Anti-trans outrage is losing its bite.

Last week, Elon Musk led a mass boycott campaign to get trans characters removed from shows on the platform.

Major conservatives joined in.

Now, we have the result: the boycott was a fizzle, and Netflix stock is up.

According the victim's attorney, body camera footage captured the officer saying, “Do something, bitch,” before leaping out of the car and shooting her multiple times. Another officer asked, “Hey, what happened?” The first pointed to his camera, “Hey, don’t speak. You’re good.”
