That's a wild comment section you got here. Do they realize that if they were already doing some shit to resist USian gestapo, the comic isn't about them?
Or maybe they feel called out because white folks getting murdered is actually what made them move their ass, I dunno 🤷‍♀️

It was also because of the people filming the recent cases from a lot of angles that helped these cases get spread. The media coverage was vastly different about these two as well, so it doesn't reflect the reality to say it happens only because white people are getting killed

Erhm... What is up with those dates?

YYYY-DD-MM? YYYY-MM-DD?

[–] Bad@jlai.lu 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

YYYY-MM-DD, ISO-8601.

Wouldn't need to use it if the USA used a logical date format, but my content is read by people from various countries, so…

It means you can have an Iraq-style occupation with a DC green zone and everyone else being a terrorist...

I'm no longer at all shocked or even discouraged that the majority of the white population of the US doesn't care about anyone who isn't the same color as them. At this point, fine. Good. Whatever it takes to get them off their ass. Humans are stupid and fickle and descend into biases ways of living too easily. We will never have the stars.

But trying to whinge about it right now is only going to inflame tensions between the people who should be united.

We can help each other not suffer if we can get enough people to understand that they are personally threatened by this outcome.

I'm more curious about the huge swath of people of color who DID vote for this, and what they're feeling now.

White people get murdered by ICE.

People get upset.
