Tsitsi Masiyiwa. A true hero.
A comic about looking after yourself, your loved ones and your mental health during the tough times ahead. I started this last November, when people were hurting so hard it was difficult to function - I’m sorry it took me so long to finish it.
Everyday activism you can do when you feel powerless. And when you feel stronger, Punch back.
If all you have strength to do today is exist, then resist by existing.
If all you have strength to do at all is exist, then resist by existing. Even if you are never able to punch back, resist by existing. Because that means you’re one of the ones the fascists don’t think deserve life, and that means every day of life and every bit of happiness you can carve out is an act of defiance.
Trust fall! 🔊
Trump's Cabinet
White House chief strategist:
Steve Bannon (CEO of Breitbart News)
He was arrested for three counts of domestic violence in the 90s.
The charges were dropped after him and his attorney threatened his ex-wife into fleeing the state.
He choked his ex-wife and smashed her phone so she couldn’t call 911.
He was accused of sexual harassment by female co-workers. “Saftey Regulations? I’m going to ram those Safety Regulations down her fucking throat,”
“There are some unintended consequences of the women’s liberation movement, the women that should lead this country would be pro-family, they would have husbands, they would love their children. They wouldn’t be a bunch of dykes that came from the Seven Sisters schools up in New England.” ― Bannon during interview when asked about women in government
He was outraged when he found out that Jews were allowed at his daughters school and complained to them over it.

He was considered by the Reagan administration to racist to be a Judge 30 years ago.
He called the ACLU and the NAACP “un-american” and “communist” for forcing civil rights down Americas throat.
He used racial slurs to address black co-workers. And told one Black Attorney, “You best be careful how you talk to white folks, boy.”

Secretary of Education:
Michelle Rhee (Owner of a multi-billion dollar Charter school lobbying group)
She is one of the leading supporters for Charter schools and public school privatization, in 2007 became Chancellor of the Washington, D.C. public school District, during that time she was accused of closing schools and firing teachers so she can steal the pension money for herself.
She fired 266 teachers who were members of the union and justified it saying, “I got rid of teachers who had hit children and who had had sex with children.” After public outrage into the comments over why she would fire teachers who were pedophiles instead of having them arrested she refused to provide any evidence the 266 union teachers had ever abused children and refused to apologize for her comments.
She has been accused of making the school district worse on purpose to help lobbyist groups justify their stance that public and free education is a failure.
She fought against School District Employees Unionizing.
She made up her resume.

He used company money to buy himself a mansion and avoid paying property taxes then justified it saying he’s using it as a, “corporate retreat for himself” since he is an employee of his company.
His wife wrote on Facebook saying, “I’m sick and tired of minorities running our country! As far as I’m concerned, I don’t think that atheistss, muslims nor any other minority group has the right to tell the majority of the people in the United States what they can and cannot do here. Is everyone so scared that they can’t fight back for what is right or wrong with his country?” He defended his wife’s statements by saying he has donates to Veterans groups and since they (presumably) help veterans who are minorities he’s not a racist.
He is famous for being the biggest proponent against animal rights on earth and created a lobbying group called Protect the Harvest who’s motto is “keeping America free and fun.“ to fight against animal rights groups. His group is accused of being a corporate front that openly vows to fight groups such as The Humane Society of the United States and The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Many of the groups board of executives are state politicians who have used Lucases money to try do things like legalize puppy mills, legalize hunting endangered animals and shorten the punishment for crimes like animal cruelty.
I have done extensive research to try and find out why anyone would support these things. And why someone would go as far as to spend millions of dollars so people don’t go jail for beating their pet dogs, and the closest answers I have gotten from interviews is that Forrest Lucas seems obsessed with the idea, “That a man has a god given right to do with, what he pleases to his property.”

Harold Hamm (Billionaire Oil Tycoon)
He ordered The Dean of The University of Oklahoma to fire researchers who published papers or did research into the environmental effects of Fracking and Drilling.

Can I punch Nazis? I don’t know. Can you? I am capable of the act, yes. Then you should. May I? The answer to that is also yes.
Can I punch Nazis?
I don’t know. Can you?
I am capable of the act, yes.
Then you should.
May I?
The answer to that is also yes.
My mother told me that violence was never the answer.
My mother told me I was handsome; you can’t always listen to your mother.
What happened to letting the other guy throw the first punch?
Nazis don’t throw the first punch. Nazis burn the first Reichstag.
Aren’t the Left supposed to be the tolerant ones?
Supposed to be the smart ones, too, but they keep falling for that “I thought you were supposed to be the tolerant ones” horseshit.
What about dialogue?
Dialogue is for reasonable people acting in good faith. Dialogue is between two acceptable positions. “Taxes need to be raised” vs. “taxes need to be lowered” is grounds for dialogue. “Taxes need to be raised” vs. “Jews should be thrown in ovens” is grounds for a beating.
But isn’t this sinking to their level?
That depends. After you punch the Nazi, do you espouse the tenets of National Socialism?
No.
Then you’re better than a Nazi.
But doesn’t this just give the other side ammunition?
The other side in this argument are lying fucks who can twist any piece of information into a swastika-shaped balloon animal if you engage them in good faith; lacking a piece of information, they’ll just make shit up. Might as well punch a Nazi.
What about peace, love, and understanding?
Great goals, and once we get rid of the Nazis we can get to work on them. All three are completely impossible when Nazis are about.
When should you punch a Nazi?
Whenever you get a chance. Preferably when they’re not looking.
What if they’re smaller than you?
Hit them with your fist.
What if they’re bigger?
Hit them with a bat.
Isn’t this a slippery slope?
After we defeated the Nazis in World War II, did we keep shooting people or did the troops come home and start having babies?
The second thing.
There you go. The slippery slope argument is nine times out of ten bullshit. Human beings are good with slippery slopes: we build stairs.
What if you think you’re punching a Nazi, but you just hit a white guy with a shitty haircut?
Run.
What should you do if you hit a Nazi?
You should run then, too. Don’t get me wrong: punching Nazis is still illegal. We’re discussing morality.
But I don’t want to punch anyone.
Then get off your duff, mister, and give aid and support to the boys on the front lines. We’re all in this together. Again.
The other side in this argument are lying fucks who can twist any piece of information into a swastika-shaped balloon animal if you engage them in good faith; lacking a piece of information, they’ll just make shit up. Might as well punch a Nazi.
What it feels like in 2016.
Climate Change is acting much faster than many have expected. Global sea ice is in a free fall compared to all other years on record.
Related article:
The North Pole is an insane 20 C warmer than normal as winter descends
While we’re on the topic of Climate Change, this post and article is worth reading (from my science blog above).
That’s 36 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than it should be at this time of year. I’m especially troubled because my Actual News-Reading Friends are reacting to this with “wait but is that normal, or is it actually global warming?”
Which means that sources like the Washington Post are doing a terrible job of explaining what this actually means. Which is probably a huge part of why people are generally not very concerned about climate change, especially not compared to how bad the situation actually is.
The graph above shows that every single year on record, the amount of ice in the sea has grown and melted at about the same times and in the same amounts. Except this year, when suddenly, instead of a bunch of ice forming in fucking winter, it’s… Not. It’s remaining at summer levels, basically.
This is not just part of global warming, it IS global warming. This is the core of the whole thing. The amazing amounts of carbon dioxide that we’ve been dumping into the atmosphere at an increasing rate for the past 100 years have been trapping more and more heat inside the atmosphere.
This has finally reached the point of Horrible Vicious Cycle. Because when it gets too warm, the polar ice caps melt.
When they melt, the oceans become much warmer and more acidic and can’t sustain life well.
When the oceans get warmer, they stop helping cool the atmosphere. Having large bodies of cold water lying around is GOOD if you want an area to be cooler. Having large bodies of warm water lying around does fuck all for cooling anybody down.
The less the oceans help cool things, the more our carbon emissions affect the atmosphere. Because they’re no longer partly being counteracted by the oceans.
Which means global warming accelerates.
Which means ice melting accelerates.
Which means the oceans get even more fucked up.
Which means global warming accelerates even more.
The reaction to this should not be “wait but is this just a thing that happens, the newspaper didn’t really say,” it should be a massive, front page, global headline of “OH FUCKING SHIT.”
Let’s keep this straight. #immigration

“Is this the People’s Republic?” “NO, THIS IS PATRICK”
“FANART IS NOT REAL ART!!!”

guys: fight each other all the time
girls: support each other and share hand cream
Lol no. Girls are bitches to each other more often than not. If it isn’t to your face it’s behind your back.
maybe they are mean to you only. everybody in my group is supportive and we share hand cream.
My world changed forever when I stopped looking at other women through the lenses that society had given me.
I learned how easy it is to ask a stranger for a pad.
I learned to share my lotion.
I learned how quick women are to compliment.
I learned how easy it is to make a girl smile.
I learned how to find good sales - hint: compliment an item and you learn where it was purchased and if it was on sale.
I learned how to see fear on a face across a bar.
I learned how to step in.
I learned how to ask for help with my eyes.
I learned about bathroom friendships and how deep they can feel for their short lived lives.
I learned how to signal complex thoughts and ideas through straw placement and head tilting.
I learned how to feel safe and make others feel safe.
Girls are so good.
The world is seriously a better place now that I enjoy the presence of other women. I haven’t had a single catty incident since I stopped hanging out with exclusively dudes and not-like-other-girls.
I am like other girls and other girls are wonderful. You can never have too many sisters.
I’m so glad I learned to love women.
Same. It changed my life. It saved me.
