BREAKING: Syria’s Assad has fled Damascus as rebels enter capital. Here’s the takeaway. Putin has spread his military forces so thin by invading Ukraine that his house of cards is starting to crumble. His allies are alone. This is the ultimate fucked around and found out.

My god. It’s happening. A post-Bashar Syria. The transition starts now. Make no mistake: it will be incredibly rocky. But today, take a beat to hear the soft, human joy of many Syrians as they cry, embrace, learn if wrongly jailed loved ones survived & vow “now we can go home.” 🧵

If you're more upset with Biden being forced to consider the extraordinary step of peremptorily pardoning his own officials then you are about Trump appointing someone who’s promised to use the federal govt to exact personal retribution for Trump, then you need to think a little more critically.

True story.
Seven-panel comic depicting me toiling away at the difficult task of drawing comics, considering quitting, and a rather conveniently received email from a 5th grader that encouraged me to continue.

Comics can be hard work, often with setbacks and challenges, but the inspiration they might give to others can make all the toil worth it.

Omg fuck the hand-wringing about people not finding the murder of the UHC CEO tragic. No, actually, we don't have to mourn the deaths of people who oversee the denial of our medical needs, who are also responsible for many, many deaths, all bc of their greed. STFU already.

She's not a sex fiend like Gaetz, but Trump's second pick for AG is arguably more capable of carrying out his autocratic revenge agenda.
