She got no standing ovation. She got no mainstream media lauds for her heroism. She got no kudos for leaving home, a much longer journey than that other senator, the one from Arizona, to get to DC, and there are no mainstream media stories on it that I can find… I only found out from a friend who spotted it on Twitter.

Senator Mazie Hirono of Hawaii was just doing her job as a good politician, voting not to repeal the ACA so as to protect her constituents.

But you’ll only find out about it on social media. Because she’s not a pale male, maybe?

“What’s the best way to get people reading comics? Hook ‘em young. And comics for early readers are booming — even big publishers like DC, famed for grim and gritty, are getting in on the action.”
