Well, now it's up to federal judges to closely examine and decide what to do with "fecal soup."

Latest comic. Too many of our institutions, including some news outlets, have bought into this reactionary inversion of hierarchies in which dominant groups are victims.

The NYT loves to hand-wring about polarization, but I unsubscribed a few years ago because the personality of the paper became smug, condescending, and gratuitously polarizing! "Safe spaces" is ideologically-loaded insult. Any editor should know that in 2024.

Worth noting that this is immediately adjacent to the place the Nazi tiki torch rally happened in 2017. The police did not stage anything like this response to that one, even though the Nazis were beating and pepper spraying people.

I've been drawing strips for years about attacks on students' right to protest, yet strangely I've never been invited to give a TED Talk, speak at an "ideas festival," or pen a column for the Atlantic. This is from 2016.

A bill in Louisiana, HB 777, would make it a crime for librarians to use public funds to join the American Librarian Association or attend an ALA conference, punishable with prison time and hard labor for up to two years.

RIP to the great comics historian and cartoonist Trina Robbins, who was always kind and encouraging. I'm so glad I got to spend time with her when I was in SF last fall. Photo on left is from 2014.
