It's just racism and corruption all the way down, isn't it? And shame on the fucking navy for doing this. The dishonor they're heaping on themselves during Trump II will never go away.

Miss Candy had outfitted the Blue Angels for 43 years. The Navy was paying her $127,000 per year for the contract. Without telling her, the Trump regime gave the contract to a white man 900 miles away and paid him almost triple. Original post: www.instagram.com/reel/Db8Yh5b...

When we hate on these disgusting immoral evil billionaires it’s bc just look at everything Dolly did. They could be doing that. They could just be helping people and every day they choose not to help people. They choose to harm. And when they die, we’ll dance and laugh and be thankful they’re gone.

In this photograph, the Artemis II crew participates in the dedication of the Apollo 14 Moon tree at the Lunar Receiving Park at NASA’s Johnson Space Center on June 25, 2026. This tree is a second-generation Apollo Moon tree of the loblolly pine species. The original Apollo Moon trees were grown from seeds carried aboard Apollo 14 by NASA astronaut Stuart Roosa, a former U.S. Forest Service smoke jumper. Upon return to Earth, the seeds were germinated by the Forest Service, and the resulting seedlings were planted throughout the United States and around the world. Credit text: NASA

despair is not a synonym for political clarity!! yes! it’s cool to care, it’s not cringe to dream. be realistic when you talk logistics but believe in impossible beautiful futures the rest of the time! we can all take turns being hopeful, you don’t have to do it full time. but you do have to try.

You don't have to answer the door for the Feds. Do not voluntarily talk to the Feds. If they have a warrant signed by an actual judge, then they can do precisely what the warrant says. But DO NOT TALK TO THE FEDS. Do not answer the door. If you're arrested, your only words are "I want a lawyer."

Alan Moore in the Observer Q&A today
If the old world refuses to die, the new world cannot be born.

What do you mean by 'the old world?

The ferocity of the rightwing push that we've seen over the last 10 years. I can't really attribute that to anything other than a desperate sense that they and their politics have no part in the future.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

"Haunted" #IceOut #IceOutComics
A comic in black/white/blue.
Lucy rolls her bike through an alley, by a crew building a fence.
Narration: My neighbors hired a crew to rebuild their fence.
Crew member: "Do you need us to move our stuff out of the way?"
Lucy: "Oh! No, you're all good, thanks!"
Lucy: "Have a good one!"
Crew member: "You, too!"Narration: I was teaching when my phone started lighting up with alerts from the rapid response network and neighbor chat.
Lucy's back is to us as she shows a group of enthusiastic children something on a notebook. Behind her, her phone in her bag is buzzing.

Narration: By the time the lesson was over, they were already gone.
Lucy is reading messages on her phone.
Messages: 
Alert: black SUV
Sighting: be on alert for...
Confirmed abductionL alley between ----- and ----. SUV plates...
We tried to get them inside, but it was too...
...Contacting an I.R. lawyer. Heading to Broadview later today.Lucy is riding her bike home.
Narration: On the ride home, I kept thinking "If I'd been there, could I have warned them? Would my ICIRR* training have helped?"
*Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights. Get trained and know your rights at ICIRR.org.

Narration: I'd taken the training after Halloween, when the violent ICE raids had locked down our schools and driven our neighbors indoors.

(Image of a halloween bucket in the shape of a jack-o-lantern)

Narration: Halloween is fun here-- The community filling the streets and opening our doors to one another. But this year's was tense, frightened and subdued. Haunted.
Lucy is standing in the alley, staring at the newly built fence.
Narration: When I got home, it was all done. The other two guys who had gotten inside in time stayed and finished the build.

The new fence is superimposed with the brief exchange from earlier in the comic ("Have a good one" You, too")
Narration: I see it every day and think about how those guys built this in the spot where strangers in masks took their friend.

Narration: How many other places in our communities are similarly haunted?
(Drawings of sidewalks, buildings, streets and windows)
