As Trump floats the possibility of "compensation" for January 6th Insurrectionist Rioters, it's important to remember what many of them did, and for whom. Check out Issue #2 of 1/6: The Graphic Novel at tin.al/7LAD or www.OneSixComicsStore.com #RememberOneSix

With armed federal troops pouring into Los Angeles, against the wishes of the Mayor and Governor, this feels like the time to share the inspiring new cover for Issue #4 of 1/6: The Graphic Novel. You can catch up on previous issues on Amazon or at www.OneSixComicsStore.com.

Let's be clear, [#3]: The intention behind Trump's pardons of insurrectionists and extremists is to create a private militia beholden only to him. www-cbsnews-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.cbsn...

Let's be clear, [#2]: the Trump-Musk mass firings of federal workers are about allegiance, control, and removing the guardrails that protect our Democracy. Journalists should stop using the term "cost-cutting." It's a loyalty purge.

Today we honor Fred T. Korematsu. During WWII, the U.S. gov’t forcibly incarcerated 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry (many U.S. citizens). Fred defied the gov’t’s orders & refused to report to the camps. He challenged the incarceration’s constitutionality & lost before SCOTUS in 1944. 1/2

Four years ago, a violent mob stormed the U.S. Capitol, egged on by Donald Trump and with the goal of overturning a free and fair election. It's crucial to remember what happened, what could have happened, and what still might happen. Read 1/6: The Graphic Novel at www.OneSixComicsStore.com
