I’ve been doing some in-depth reporting on the Prairieland cases, and had to get this out first as I continue to dig: I spoke with Ana Bell, sister of Des, who it turns out co-owns and runs an indie bookstore. We talked about the case, the judge, book banning, ICE killings, and living through this:

My Brother Was Sentenced to 30 Years for Moving a Box of Zines

The sister of a defendant in the Prairieland case, which targeted Texas ICE protesters, speaks out.

I respect the desire to comment on our crisis, and I don’t mean to be a dick, but I’m going to start unfollowing people who use AI to create fake “editorial cartoons.” It’s a slap to a noble art, on life-support since newspapers started collapsing. Support and share the work of actual cartoonists.

Our 2026 co-laureate Spire delivered an intriguing and — at times — hilarious acceptance speech. 👉 Full speech: www.freedomcartoonists.com/award-2026

Our @fionakatauskas.bsky.social dropped by the Guardian; @creativeelc.bsky.social Emma Cook dropped in NZ… cartoonists are disappearing from our media, as publishers tighten belts and become risk-averse. I hope you’re all ready to keep yourselves sane.
