My cat, Dr. Peanut Meowman, is gaining sympathy weight for me.

What does the rest of the world do for traffic cones when it’s road construction season in the Midwest?

“It's not a partisan issue. It’s not an ideological issue. So who voted for this? I personally don't remember Donald Trump's campaign promise to cut breast cancer research and to make menopause harder for American women,” says @chrislhayes.bsky.social.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

A comics page in black and white. Arranged in 5 tiers of panels, each with successively smaller panels and more per row - with the exception of the first. Opens with no panel border - silhouette of a hand in a gun position - with smoke coming from index finger. speech balloon “i could stand in the middle of fifth avenue and shoot somebody and i wouldn’t lose any voters, ok?” Caption “this is perhaps the most truthful thing trump has ever said…” Same row - more than half page width panel with three drawings of trump making jerky body distortions mocking cerebral palsy. Caption “one might’ve assumed when he mocked reporter serge kovaleski that it would cross a line and be the end of him in public life.” Speech balloon “now the poor guy, you ought to see this guy!” Caption “that was naive.” Next row, first panel, slightly more than page width - closeup on trump’s open mouth, shouting “when you’re a star, they let you do it. you can do anything. Grab ‘em by the pussy. you can do anything.” Caption “surely, there’d be no coming back from this?” Second panel - silhouettes of tiki torch carrying rioters with their shirt collars showing. Caption “or this?” Dialogue “you also had some very fine people on both sides.” Caption “and yet…” Third row - three panels, first slightly more than a third, rest smaller still. Silhouette of trump throwing a paper towel roll like shooting a basketball. Dialogue “a great day…” Caption “c’mon…”. Second panel closeup on his lips, dialogue “why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” Caption “really?” Third panel closeup on a coiled-style phone cord, dialogue “i would like you to do us a favor, though.” In background words from the first articles of impeachment for high crimes and misdemeanors. Dialogue “the call with ukraine was perfect, with “no pressure.” full alt-text on my site at the link

I made a comic on how we got here & trump/supporters - collecting things he's said that would seem to have been over the line - and how that never seems to be the case is the real problem...

Way to go, Green Bay, WI! Amazing turnout! 💚

If you’re going canvassing looking for hope, you’re going to be disappointed. When you go canvassing, you are the hope. Be the hope for other people and get them to join in.

Important. Either Trump is so far gone mentally he doesn’t know what he’s doing, or people are acting in his name without his knowledge. This was an order with enormous implications, and the President of the United States says he didn’t do it.

I can listen to Schumer’s argument to vote for cloture on the CR, and he might have a point, but putting off this fight and hoping the Judicial Branch saves us didn’t work out great when the Senate punted on the J6 impeachment. If GOP Senators had balls then, we wouldn’t be here now.

One of the biggest tricks out there is that there are two political parties in the US but there are more classes of people here. It sets up the elites of more powerful classes to split up the regular folks in the middle to fight against each other.

@aoc.bsky.social: "You have a right to see your elected member of Congress... Our job is to hear from people. And if you aren't doing town halls because your own residents and members of your community are upset with what you're doing, the answer is you’ve got to own your decisions."

Just wait until your dog only eats wet cat food…

I’ve lost patience with myself getting riled up every time there’s a new announcement of something stupid or terrible done by the GOP. Is this how real change starts?

Rocky always knows when I’ve had a long week. I come home and he snuggles me up.

a five dollar bill that somebody wrote FUCK TRUMP! on and they crossed.out god

be the change

Look I agree that Elon Musk appears to be on a lot of drugs every time he appears in public. That's not very interesting to me. I'm more interested in how many drugs he can do at once. I think he could probably do more than anyone ever. I bet he could take way more than the doctors say is safe.

Have Democrats ever been this neutered?

Is Musk is *just now* being made a “special government employee” just confirms how illegal this has all been!

Seeing how the Democrats are handling the Muskpocalypse it is starting to become clear why they didn’t beat Trump.

I agree, Skippy. This is amazing.

Here’s how you know the news is owned by billionaires: If this happened on Biden’s watch you wouldn’t be able to escape the content.

Who do the billionaires think regular folks are going to blame when the government is destroyed?

If you need a break from bad, here’s 30 seconds of Peanut being happy.

Feelings taste like Taco Bell tonight.

Peanut has been waiting all week to sun bathe on his spot.

I have matured. Flossing makes my mouth feel better than brushing.

My 5TB flash drive has been really nice. It isn’t a stick but doesn’t need external power and I can back up entire old computers on it. It’s the size of a deck of playing cards too.
