Back when I was regularly writing comics, I never responded to bad reviews. And I never badmouthed another writer or artist. (Still don't.) That's even when I felt an artist was the reason one of my stories came across badly.

“We are enforcing the nation’s laws. Why is that controversial?” The Fugitive Slave Act. The Three-Fifths Compromise. The Nuremberg Laws. Dred Scott. The Indian Removal Act. The Law for Protection of German Blood. Anti-miscegenation laws. The Defense of Marriage Act. The Reichstag Fire Decree.

This morning's message from Indivisible

Your vote is not small to the people spending millions to make sure you never cast it. They know what happens when working people, young people, women, and every fed-up voter show up together. We flip Congress. They lose control. That’s the whole assignment.

Thanks for keeping the faith, Phil! I went to bed listening to Shepherd just about every night in my early teens. As for my comment about everybody knowing his voice—listen up, @storrieville.bsky.social— that was in reference to his narration of the movie "A Christmas Story," which he wrote.

Somehow not everyone is aware of fact alluded to below. So one more time: John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett were all on GWBush 2000 'Florida Recount' team. (Which made GWB first prez in 112 yrs to 'win' after losing popular vote. Now they 'impartially' rule on our future.)

In my DC Comics series Blue Devil, we introduced the Institute for Hyper-Normal Conflict Studies and included a page from their journal. Which blurbed the latest in their speculative series on Superman's secret identity: journalist Clark Kent's argument that Superman had no secret identity at all.

Just deleted a post with a fake Stephen Miller quote. But this is 100% real: This morning Donald Trump said the following at the UN. "The terrorist regime is behaving badly, not because they are strong and confident, but because they are weak and desperate." Again, Everything Is Projection.

But far more importantly, the voters make no appearance whatsoever in Justice Alito’s reasoning. He, like the government, does not dispute that using the rule in 2026 would disenfranchise millions of our most vulnerable people. He doesn’t care. It’s despicable and antidemocratic.

the sum total of Sam Alito’s jurisprudence on voting adds up to “You have the right to vote for a Republican and if you aren’t likely to vote for a Republican, then Republicans are allowed to disenfranchise you.”

We keep telling Ukraine to bow down to Putin, rewarding Russia for its aggression, but they just won’t, explained corrupt non-govt US representative Jared Kushner. It’s very frustrating, he said, I really expected to get paid by now. Asked what Russia must give up for peace, Kushner had no comment.

Also, assuming El-Sayed did say he's obligated to Sharia law, how is that different from an observant Jew saying they're obligated to follow halakha (Jewish religious law)? Lots of Jews in office; none of them forcing others to keep kosher.

"The new inflation has been caused in part by the rise in the price of oil as a result of Iran. It's been caused by all the spending on artificial intelligence." And "some of it is attributable to tariffs." Sen. Kennedy (R-LA), by telling the truth, makes the case against his party in the midterms.
