Alexandra Bowman talks to Chelsea Saunders
Alexandra Bowman emailed me that she's got some interviews online -
Satire Can Save Us All and The Hilltop Show (i.e. me wearing two hats) sat down yesterday with Chelsea Saunders, an animator, African-American activist, and political cartoonist for The Nib, to talk about her view of the current political cartooning world, particularly in light of the events of the past week.
Our extended interview will be split into four parts on YouTube, two parts of which are already released! We'd really appreciate a like on these videos--like, subscribe, turn the bell on! The other two videos should be up soon.
Also, be sure to follow Chelsea at @che_saunders on Twitter and @chelsea_saunders on Instagram!

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "I Voted"
Definitely from DC's anarchist cartoonist Mike Flugennock -
"I Voted"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3005
Bringing up the coffee and morning paper last Sunday morning, I caught about 15 seconds of MSNBC on the bedroom TV. Some "contributing analyst" on the morning show was discussing the nationwide uprising against police terrorism and yammering about how we needed to unite "street politics" with electoral politics — which made me want to bring up my coffee again, if you know what I mean.
Cripes, what a stupid twunt. Didn't she realize that the reason we're in the streets right now is because electoral politics is a failure? I and millions of others in this country have realized that electoralism is a big, hot sloppy bucket of fail, and that it's time to get our yellow vests on and vote in the streets.
Never mind how many times I've heard rag-chewing Liberal talking heads on cable TV news flapping their cakeholes about "peaceful" protest — jeezus, I could play a drinking game with the number of times I've heard some knob on TV talking about being "peaceful". F'crissake, man — I can't think of a single time in my life when any meaningful change was brought about by people being "peaceful". Hell, the State and Capital aren't being peaceful right now; why should the People feel obligated to be peaceful? Screw "peaceful".

The Post recommends Robin Ha's new book
Bruce Guthrie wrote to me earlier today -
Tomorrow's Post's Arts & Style Section has an article on "Five new books for your teenager's seasonal reading pile". One of them is "Almost American Girl" by Robin Ha.
The other four are:
* "Stamped: Racism, Antiracism and You" by Jason Reynolds and Ibram X. Kendl
* "Superman Smashes the Klan" by Gene Luen Yang and Gurihiru [also a graphic novel]
* "Clap When You Land" by Elizabeth Acevedo
* "Kent State" by Deborah Wiles
The article was written by Karen MacPherson, the children's and teen services coordinator for the library in Takoma Park, Md.

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "George Floyd Everywhere"
From Mike Flugennock, DC's anarchist cartoonist -
"George Floyd, Everywhere"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3002
It wasn't just one cop who murdered George Floyd; it was America — the same America whose knee is crushing the throat of Iran, Venezuela, and dozens of other nations around the world.
