It appears that this legend owns a little bookstore — and you can order books from him instead of Bezos. Link in next post.

I don't think nonviolence is the only valid or effective form of resistance, but I think it's proving particularly effective in this case because it's showcasing the degree to which ICE utterly lacks self-control or restraint in a way that'd be muddled if we matched their energy.

is this about Greenland or Minneapolis?

My first impression was sketching, but it also reminds me of computer graphics cel-shading.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
