These are crimes and it is contrary to international and U.S. law to send asylum seekers to any country where their life or freedom is threatened.

We have to take names of all who ordered and participated in these illegal, immoral acts.

Political cartoons / memes / and news I want to share. 6-4-2026

Hello all, hope you’ll enjoy the upcoming Pride month content! This year, I’m planning to post comics every single day until the end of June. If you caught a glimpse at comment sections under recent strips, it has already pissed off thousands! It’s just the beginning.

It’s been a while since I gave you any life updates. My husband and I are still on the IVF train – it’s slow but steady. We are being crushed under the weight of debts because of it, but at least we got to keep our car after this spring’s threats, for those who wondered. Such is the price for growing our little queer family! At least we’ve got health.

I’m still trying to make a living from my art. I believe covering the internet with queer and trans comics and making bigots foam at the mouth is an important job, and you can help make it happen by getting me a coffee or by subscribing on Patreon. Every bit makes a huge difference!

So I hope Pride month will be good to you all. Except the bigots.

Be gay, trans, hydrated, or not,

Sophie

GOP: Defending white supremacists and neo-Nazis? That's not who we are. Comforting despots and attacking our allies? That's not who we are. Ripping immigrant children from their families? That's not who we are. Voice: So... you'll grow a backbone and stand up to Trump? GOP: That's not who we are.

Trump incompetence and corruption are an extention of white supremacy. MAGA may try to deny it, but they are the worst at judging their own racism.

Political cartoons / memes / and news I want to share. 5-10-2026

 

Hi everyone,

My webcomic about a transgender girl’s page, Assigned Male Comics, is currently down because it got hacked during the night, along with my personal page and the french version of the comic. After receiving several thousands of death threats in the past few days for making my art, my address was also posted on several forums. I am currently in a safe place and my roommate and I will move away before the end of the week.

Today. May 17th. International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia. I just want people to be aware that this is what you get for being trans on the internet and for reframing transness into something positive and empowering. I’d also like to acknowledge that this attack was mostly planned because of four explicit reasons :
1. I am a woman
2. I am trans
3. I support non-binary people
4. I support intersex people.

I will keep making my comics, no worries. Folks at Facebook are currently making sure this won’t happen again before I can put my page back up. Nothing was lost.

I know many of my readers will be worried. This is my personal profile, also if you can share this as widely as possible so it reaches them, it would be greatly appreciated.

You can still read my comics on tumblr : http://assignedmale.tumblr.com
or on paper : http://assignedmale.etsy.com
and support my work on Patreon : www.patreon.com/assignedmale

I also set up a Paypal donation email if you want to help with the relocating : sophie@assignedmale.com

Thanks everyone for your support. ❤

President Trump privately advocated for painting the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, located next to the White House, with a “magic paint with silicate." A panel of experts is warning the so-called magic paint could be incompatible with the ornate federal office building's granite exterior.

1. ICE has not paid for detainee medical care for 7 MONTHSThe termination of payments to providers has coincided with a MASSIVE SPIKE in detainee deaths.This is a health crisis and a moral crisis. Follow along for details.🧵

— Judd Legum (@juddlegum.bsky.social) 2026-05-04T13:48:48.736Z

2. On October 3, 2025, the Trump admin stopped paying 3rd parties for medical care for ICE detainees.In November 2025, ICE said the situation was an “absolute emergency” that needed to be fixed “immediately” to “prevent any further… loss of life.”

— Judd Legum (@juddlegum.bsky.social) 2026-05-04T13:50:24.285Z

3. According to the ICE Health Service Corps (IHSC), payments to third parties were supposed to resume on April 30. ICE has contracted with a private firm, Acentra Health, to process reimbursements. But April 30 came and went, and still, nothing is being processed.

— Judd Legum (@juddlegum.bsky.social) 2026-05-04T13:50:24.286Z

4. Meanwhile, detainee deaths at ICE facilities are skyrocketing.From 2018 to 2024, the average number of people who died in ICE custody annually was 8.9. Since ICE stopped medical reimbursements on October 3, 2025, people have been dying in ICE custody at a rate of 51.7 people annually.

— Judd Legum (@juddlegum.bsky.social) 2026-05-04T13:52:29.616Z

5. Beyond the data, there are numerous examples of individual cases that suggest essential medical care is being denied to ICE detainees. Details in today's Popular Information.
