- Reposted by Paul Shortt | Shortt EditionsHe was doing what many have been saying white men should be doing. He went outside to observe, he documented, he put his body on the line to protect another person and for this he was murdered by the gatekeepers of the fascist regime.
- Reposted by Paul Shortt | Shortt EditionsMemory is a fragile thing in this moment, so it is important to keep in mind that Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his caucus against ICE funding earlier this week.

- Reposted by Paul Shortt | Shortt EditionsPretti clearly did not brandish his gun. Which means the government is saying he was killed for legally exercising his right to carry. It’s as clear-cut a violation of the Second Amendment as I can possibly imagine. And we’re about to see the bulk of the gun rights crowd defend his murder.
- Reposted by Paul Shortt | Shortt EditionsWe’re supposed to believe this is a domestic terrorist attacking ICE with a gun
- Reposted by Paul Shortt | Shortt EditionsAnother murder by immigration enforcement in my district. I am absolutely horrified that federal agents are targeting and executing our residents instead of protecting them. ICE and CBP must leave Minnesota immediately. Kristi Noem must be impeached. Enough.
- Reposted by Paul Shortt | Shortt EditionsI don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

If you have a respirator or goggles bring them in a small backpack. We don't want to show up looking alarming for the kids but chemical weapons are being used widely in the area." 2/2
- In between my day job, prepping an adjunct class, family life, and the daily horrors of the current WH administration I started printing my first narrative based kids book: The Good Burp. #Risograph #zine #burp

- I just bought 30,000 sheets of paper. I will be reprinting my How To Art Book Fair guide in late 2026/early 2027 in an edition of around 2000. Which feels overwhelming just typing.

- My 3 year old son and his friends at daycare like to run around pointing at themselves and others and say "You're a Cheeto". It's to the point where when we are in stores he will just point at people and say it too. For about a day I thought he meant cheetah, but no, he means Cheeto.

- Reposted by Paul Shortt | Shortt EditionsWhat's wild about the 85th percentile is that lots of US states use it to set all speed limits, but the original idea (from the 1930s) was to let observed driver speeds shape speed limits on **rural roads**. It was never intended for urban areas w/pedestrians & cyclists!
- Reposted by Paul Shortt | Shortt Editionsso, in the course of a month, the New York Times reassigned four veteran critics, the Washington Post’s film critic took a buyout, Vanity Fair decided it doesn’t need a film critic at all, and the Associated Press got rid of book criticism altogether? Cool.
