I can’t say often or enough how fucking racist & wrong local @WiStateJournal political cartoonist @PhilHands is. It’s appalling how he presents the most backwards, harmful takes on critical issues in this city. I’m sure he takes critiques as signs he’s being “edgy” though. 🙄

From the cartoon on the #NoCopsAtPride protests, to the one representing members of Freedom Inc., to the most recent one comparing black queer woman school board member to Trump based on a deliberate misreading of a Facebook post she wrote, there are two consistent themes:

1. The misrepresentation of radical queer and black activists as bullies with equal ability to do harm as those in power.
2. A strong hatred for anyone critiquing or protesting the role of cops and the prison industrial complex in Madison.

It infuriates me this racist, cop-loving fool is continually provided such a major local platform to spread his falsities.

#NoCopsInSchools / Freedom Inc cartoon 2

#NoCopsAtPride cartoon

The false equivalencies abound yall. I do not understand why this person still has a job as a political cartoonist.
