Ms. Jacobs Worries About Democracy

Statement from Kids Can Press publisher of Franklin the Turtle

🔥 BREAKING: A spokesperson for Kids Can Press, the publisher of the Franklin the Turtle books, messaged me today about Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth using the likeness and image from the books to make light of killings in the Caribbean in his post yesterday on X.

"These are not the actions of mature adults. They are examples of crude people displaying their incompetence as they flail about in jobs—including the presidency—for which they are not qualified."

Pretty much sums it up.

Pete Kegsbreath illegal #KillThemAll order is why Mark Kelly had to remind service members of the law in the first place.

Conservatives yell “socialism” at every initiative designed to help people.

Maybe you've heard the word a few times already today.

But this is nothing more than an old scare tactic.

A functioning government requires pooling resources for the common good. Let me explain.

You don’t get to unleash political poison into the bloodstream of American politics and then act surprised when it reaches your own veins. You don’t get to cheer on Trump while he smears, threatens, and dehumanizes everyone in his way, and then clutch your fake pearls when he finally does it to you. You don’t get to empower a movement built on conspiracy, cruelty, and violence, and then cry foul when you become its latest target.

I am so #thankful to @alyssamilano.bsky.social for putting words to what we're all feeling.

True story…

If Threatening to Hang Members of Congress Isn’t Impeachable, What Is? If Trump wants veterans in Congress killed for affirming U.S. law, doesn’t that make him the very danger the Founders warned would destroy the republic, the kind impeachment was designed for?

He’s a demented old guy.
He’s not up to anything.
But the lawless, amoral greedy f-cks surrounding him sure are.
Need to point more fingers at the enablers.
Orange guy is not the one making decisions past what his tiny id can muster.

He’s a demented old guy with no future and he’s definitely not the one calling the shots.
He makes no sense because he has no sense.
He’s a pathetic loser but also—surrounded by hateful lawless greedy creatures trying to burn it all down before he actually kicks the bucket:
