The artist, David Cohen is an Asheville-based artist/musician and resident of over forty years. His cartoon work spans various subjects ranging from local issues based in Asheville to more national political events and even to one-off, word-play-oriented jokes. ❀️ Give credit to artists when you can.

I can’t wrap my head around the fact that there are millions of Americans who worship a misogynistic, racist criminal and have chosen him to lead when he will do absolutely nothing to improve their lives.

Elections have consequences, and they could be disastrous.

Dems would get much more traction finding and promoting people saying what they know and experience.

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

Hey everyone! The discussion I had with Officers Fanone and Dunn about their thoughts and feelings on the fourth anniversary of Jan 6 attack was so important, that I lifted the paywall. Please take a look, it’s very powerful

Mexico and Canada Are Sending Firefighters to California to Help Put Out Wildfires Air tankers, firefighters and technicians from the neighboring countries are on their way to Los Angeles in a show of solidarity.

β€œMore personnel and equipment from Ontario, Quebec and Alberta are ready to be mobilized, according to government officials. And a team of senior technical staff members from British Columbia will fill specialized roles, the government said.”

In Congress, a Push for Proxy Voting for New Parents Draws Bipartisan Support A group of younger lawmakers is pressing to change House rules to allow members who are new parents to vote remotely.

"There is no maternity leave for members of Congress. While they can take time away from the office without sacrificing their pay, they cannot vote if they are not at the Capitol. So Ms. Pettersen has taken a lead role in a new push by a bipartisan group of younger lawmakers to change the rules."

Thank you, Oregon! πŸ™πŸ½

The viral claim that 60 fire engines from Oregon were turned away in California over emissions is FALSE.

Three hundred Oregon firefighters volunteered to come and have arrived in Southern California. They’re already fighting fires in Los Angeles.

"When Mexico sends its people, they're sending their best. They're sending firefighters to help solve American problems. They're bringing fire fighting uniforms. They're bringing fire fighting equipment. They're bringing kittens down from trees. And all, I assume, are good people."

Good morning and Happy Sunday to everyone who knows that Democrats always grow the economy, and Republicans always fuck it up while only focusing on making the rich richer.

We have to break this idiotic cycle.
