Improvised Anti-ICE Devices   Recently updated !

The cities being besieged by the various DHS militias have responded with clever countermeasures that each subsequent city adopts and adapts to their own needs. In all cases, it comes down to people looking out for their neighbors. The more the regime tries to villainize these acts, the more insane and evil they look. Trump’s approval is already in the shitter, and it’s only been a year. How many more people are going to die for this demented lame duck?

Bovino got demoted, and there have been calls to impeach Kristi Noem over the executions of innocent civilians, but as long as Trump and his vizier Stephen Miller remain, the cruelty will continue, only making the resolve of everyone resisting them even stronger.

ICE-Mart

A few years ago, I did a comic called Police-Mart. Now that ICE and the rest of the DHS goon squads are sporting new January 6th-inspired uniforms, I figured it would be a good time to revisit the bit for their new unaccountable and sloppy looks.

Masked goons have been snatching people off the street to meet Stephen Miller’s quotas, and it’s not just happening in red states and rural areas. Many safely blue governors and mayors are not only ignoring it, they’re actively helping to appear “tough on immigration.”

I drew Gavin Newsom because he’s the slimiest and most well-known of these Democratic governors, but I could’ve included Massachusetts’ own Governor Healey, who’s been waiting on “more details” even as her constituents have been targeted since inauguration day.

Department of Failed State Travel Advisories

We’re just two months into this administration and the horrors at the border and within continue to escalate. Tourists from close allies are getting sent to the gulags we’ve previously reserved for refugees who are desperate to get here to seek asylum. Residents with green cards or visas are getting arrested, detained, and even deported for their speech. And others are being rounded up without due process and sent to slave labor camps in El Salvador.

This is not a great environment for jokes. My mind keeps going to the fact that all that separates myself from these current victims is my tacky little U.S. passport. Any CBP or ICE thug can take it and instantly render me and anyone they don’t like a stateless individual with no rights.

I don’t have plans (or the budget) for international travel any time soon, but I don’t have to go anywhere for them to claim jurisdiction over me or two thirds of the population. The War on Terror has come home, we’re all the targets, and if you can’t call it fascism, you won’t until you’re the one getting stripped and hosed down in a cage.

Schmaltzmark Channel Holiday Specials

The late Thanksgiving has made this holiday season shorter than usual (if you’re not a freak who puts the tree up the day after Halloween), so here are some holiday goofs before I have to really start thinking about next year.

I’ve never watched one of the Hallmark Channel’s Christmas schlockfests, but Netflix put out something called Hot Frosty where a sexy snow sculpture comes to life (?) and I figure I should practice writing that kind of stuff for when editorial cartoonists make it to the next FBI director’s most wanted list.

Now to enjoy one sip of the eggnog I bought then immediately remember why it’s not a regular staple in our fridge.

Here’s my counter to the annual “How to talk to your MAGA relatives at Thanksgiving” articles, which never seem to be written the other way. Sure, it’s petty, but since they’re immune to reason, maybe a little food poisoning will do the trick.

I’m fortunate to not have to spend the holiday with these awful people. If you have to, I hope the food, booze, and/or drugs makes next week somewhat tolerable.

Well this sucks. I’m sure I’ll find funny things to make cartoons about, while also amplifying ways to help people who are going to be most affected by the implementation of Project 2025, but for now I’m just swinging between rage and grief. Listening to comedy podcasts while drawing this was the first break my brain’s had since Tuesday night.

Pardon my sincerity. Shit is fucked up, and everyone who cares needs to chip in to unfuck it. We can’t let morons raging blindly about the price of eggs have the last word.

Congress’s Climate Quack

Read the comic on Patreon.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is saying more stupid, hateful shit, and it’s arguably not even the worst of the lies going around about the recent hurricanes and relief efforts. It’s especially demented to scapegoat innocent people when there are real humans to blame in the fossil fuel industry who’ve been denying what their own scientists have been saying about climate change for over forty years.

The climate crisis is here and now that denial won’t work, the conspiracy theories are going to do even more of the heavy lifting to stop what’s necessary to mitigate any of it; not to mention what they’ll do to otherize people forced to flee the next disaster or the countless ones that will follow.

Progress is being made though! The poorly named Inflation Reduction Act has done a lot to boost the already booming renewable energy industry. We just have to find a way to stop all those gains from going to A.I. so it can give dweebs a picture of Smurfette with big boobs.

COP28 Agenda Items

The 28th UN climate conference started today and they’re finally gonna start taking climate change seriously. Or not. I did a cartoon about the 26th conference, and the 27th passed me by without even noticing. So my hopes aren’t high for this one.

Last week while willingly subjecting myself to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade, I was unwillingly subjected to this ad showing how oil makes hospitals possible. It’s been out for a while, but it was the first time for me. Hopefully they’ll brainstorm a less craven message for their Super Bowl ad.

But don’t worry. Tomorrow I’m going to ride a bike to pick up groceries. That should offset our leaders’ climate inaction.
