Ari Drennen @AriDrennen Follow The high trust neighborhoods that MAGA yearns for exist all over America, and they're all like D+40 nxthompson A @nxthompson •22h An extraordinary paragraph. buff.ly/uH5ykhX The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they're the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesivebecause of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about "Western civilization," while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

This is so spot on

Let's start a movement for all married women to change their last names back to the name given on their birth certificates. Wouldn't that be awesome. #changeitback #takebackyourname #takeitback

The extraordinary level of disapproval is still there even if they don't/won't measure it. It doesn't go away. And it doesn't help the administration not to know how deeply unpopular they are.

That is admirable. Perhaps the only real way to grow as an artist.

Shame on Gordon Gee. How disappointing. Mistakenly confused him as a man of integrity.

Hilariously stupid. That can't be real...

What happened to the sound? Commercials have sound but none on video. WTF. No sound on YouTube either, only Commercials have sound...

Nice of the NYT to offer up an alibi for what is clearly blatant racist behavior. And if Trump can't even understand what's in a 30 sec social media post how could he come close to carrying out the duties of the POTUS.

We all need to make more donations to the ultra rich. Sounds fair.

Thanks!

Sorry for being so grim...

Boileau said Kings Gods & Heroes only were subjects for literature..Present day kings aren’t inspiring, the gods are on vacation, the only heroes left are the scientists & the poor..Since our race admires gallantry, the writer will deal with it where he finds it..in the struggling poor -J.Steinbeck

Wonderful drawings!
