The political cartoon depicts Donald Trump standing among a crowd of hooded Ku Klux Klan members. His expression is stern, and he appears to blend in with the group, emphasizing themes of racism, white supremacy, and his perceived association with extremist ideologies. The artwork uses stark imagery to critique his rhetoric and influence.

Trump’s Super Bowl interview was another display of authoritarian rhetoric, evasive answers, and self-aggrandizement, with a pro-Trump buffoon leading the discussion. His blackshirt politics are no longer subtle, just a blatant attempt to reshape democracy in his image.

McConnell sends a message With a vote against Pete Hegseth, the former GOP leader makes clear he will be an unreliable ally of Donald Trump.

The cheer I cheered to watch McConnell walk from the democrat side of the senate to the clerk and twice deliver his “No” vote for Hegseth.

The cheer I cheered when Mitch voted no. It’s a small win. On to the next battle.

Interesting how a man that can’t adhere to the UCMJ will be responsible for reviewing MCM and UCMJ annually while serving as the highest ranking member of the DoD.

A litmus test for the future of free speech as a house resolution aims to condemn Rev Budde’s sermon at the National Prayer Service. We’ll see how this goes.

3.5% is the goal. Once 3.5% of the population engages in active resistance, change is arguably inevitable. Nonviolent protest is shown to twice as effective in attaining that 3.5% and succeed. Resistance can be protest, protest support (bail support, art supplies, food & water), sharing info.

3.5%

The 51 Republican senators who voted to advance Hegseth's nomination represent only 46% of Americans while the 47 Democrats & 2 Republicans who voted to block him represent 54%.

The GOP's Senate majority is built on minority rule, & its unfair design is a key enabler of Trump's attack on democracy

If you work for the government, don’t comply in advance. Don’t engage in broad interpretation of what does and doesn’t apply. The Air Force disbanded their Women’s Initiative Team which was a working policy group. Had nothing to do with DEI or as the new Admin calls it “meritocracy.”

On a day that McConnell’s office is overrun with calls against Hegseth, he votes yes anyway.

This flyer was distributed throughout Northern Kentucky today 😳😳😳

The crazy part is that the left would’ve helped and still want to help.

Anyone else have a decision matrix with key identified points to dictate if/when your family flees a Christian nationalist society stripped of humanity and basic rights?

Don’t mind HR 78 to criminalize abortion at the national level. Nothing to see here. Look at the price of eggs!

Simultaneously stating that Trump has acted above the law and made a mockery of the justice system while handing down an unconditional, penalty-free sentence to a criminal with 34 felonies. That’s the mockery.

He has enough time to spend a night or two in jail. In solitary for his own safety.

The Departure Of Jen Easterly: What’s Next For CISA Under Trump Jen Easterly’s departure as Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) marks the end of a transformative era in U.S. cybersecurity.

CISA worked diligently through the election cycle to protect votes against cyber attacks despite unfiltered and ceaseless attacks fromTrump’s inner circle.

One hopes the enduring staff can still protect our elections under a Trump presidency once Jen Easterly vacates the Dir position on Jan 20.

President Carter was a true friend to Habitat for Humanity and worked tirelessly to make the world a better place. He helped families build and repair homes, and brought hope and opportunity to people around the world. Please join in remembering and celebrating his positive impact. #HonoringCarter

You know it’s true when Bezos fired Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Ann Telnaes from the Post for this cartoon. Democracy Dies under the darkness of billionaires.

Tractor won’t start? Grab a sled and cart your hay to the back 40 for the bucks! Our goats were so happy for a new bale and some grain in this single-digit weather.

Third snow day today after our winter break. Glad the kids are ok with me stuffing them into snow gear two sizes too small (or hats jackets three sizes too big).

Shout out to West Point for the cadet knit hat and to 10th Mountain for the balaclava. And yea, the kids complain that they itch.

When do you think government funding will cease to support libraries? Can’t go around having an educated population, now can we?
