Steven Hirsch needs to retire or indulge in abstract art outside the courtroom.

On June 11th, 2025 the spokane community came together to participate in direct action to defend two community members from being dissapeared by ICE agents. On July 15th. My friend Mikki Hatfield and 8 other activists and protestors who were involved were arrested by federal agents. IMG: A sketch of an empty courtroom. 7 of these protestors were released from state custody within a day of the arrests, but two of them, Bobbi Silva and my friend Mikki Hatfield, were held for several days. Today, July 18th, I attended their hearing and did courtroom sketches. This is my account of what happened. I will be biased. As a cartoonist I naturally exagerate what I see, but I am committed to truth. I have no sympathy for those who defend fascism. With this work I hope to humanize Mikki and Bobbi.
Here are my courtroom sketches and my account about the trial of my friend Mikki Hatfield and Bobbi Silva of the #spokane9 that happened earlier today. 🧵

I just found out that one my heros, courtroom artist William J. Hennessy Jr passed away Monday. He covered many high profile court cases and the Supreme Court.
He will absolutely be missed.
