The world is fucked up and out of control. We can’t stop climate change, we can’t punch all the fascists that need a face full of knuckles, but we can’t stop climate make some soup and feed some people.

And sometimes that’s all you can do.

Clearly some disney princess made this.

"On Wednesday, Mr. Mamdani, the Democratic nominee, rode the full route of the M57, a crosstown bus that traverses Midtown Manhattan and is one of the city’s slowest, to remind New Yorkers that he wanted to speed up their commutes."

Dearest Emmaline, my stints at the front line are too horrific for words to convey. An Antifa officer in an inflatable frog suit gyrated its hips at us for hours on end. The taunts & insults they hurl defy our teargas & pepperball bullets…

They bounce off the mascot costumes!

Pray for me, my dear…

I trust any announcement from Cheeto Benito as far as i can spit a water buffalo, but… good.

Every Israeli “ceasefire” is “you Cease, we keep Firing.”

So let’s see.

The fact that he’s displaying competence at this point is more suspicious than anything.

The broadcasters get ratings and reliable viewers and the viewers get every assumption they ever had about places they would never visit confirmed. That is very emotionally satisfying for them so of course they come back for more.

“but what if I’m wrong?” Never even glances off their grey matter.

They honest to God think that this shit is real time.

That any given evening there is a CVS on fire or a police station being stormed and burned to the ground.

News Outlets we avoid watching the way campers avoid laying down amongst poison ivy…

Have been replaying clips from George Floyd &BLM protests in 2020, even LA riots, and civil unrest in other countries every time these cities get discussed.

Viewers think this shit is real-time.

Really good thread, because I am frankly tired of "why haven't you left yet" etc.

Vast, vast majority of trans people aren't going to leave the country. Many can't leave the areas they're currently in.

If trans survival/liberation are something one cares about, at all, that's the reality.

So...🧵

(And no, this is not — in the main — about indviduals leaving the country).

To arrive at the conclusion these people did you have to start by understanding that these people’s concept of “freedom” STARTS & ENDS WITH:

“I can do whatever the fuck I want and nobody can say shit about it.”

Anyone saying “no” to them is obviously some woke leftist freedom-hating Commie.*

In Jan 2013, when my strip was new and obscure, I tweeted “there would be no Marigold Heavenly Nostrils without Peter S. Beagle.” I tagged Mr. Beagle.

He started tweeting back. This led to me being invited to participate in the upcoming Last Unicorn Tour, and Peter writing my first book foreword.

New: Apple banned an app that simply archived videos of ICE abuses. Rather than other apps that record ICE official's real-time location, Eyes Up is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." Videos from TikTok etc. Every submission manually reviewed

Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses

Eyes Up's purpose is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." But it has been swept up in Apple's crackdown on ICE-spotting apps.
