It's a small thing but some #maliciousnoncompliance as I send my government issued work phone back after being laid off from a federal contracting firm. I'm so tired y'all.

This meme is based on a scene from Arrested Development featuring the character Tobias Fünke talking to Lindsay Bluth. A four -panel meme from Arrested Development. In the first panel, a man (Tobias Fünke) is labeled "DEMS" and is speaking to a blonde woman. The text reads: "The German liberals laid low and wanted to ride backlash against Hitler to power." In the second panel, the woman asks, "Well did it work for those people?" The man appears to be thinking. In the third panel, the man responds: "No, it never does. I mean, these people somehow delude themselves into thinking it might, but... but it might work for us." The meme suggests a critique of political strategies, drawing a historical parallel.

The Democrats strategy right now.

Just downloaded and I'm excited to have this as a resource!

The moneylenders, the know-nothings, the authoritarians have us all in prison; if we value the freedom of the mind and soul, if we’re partisans of liberty, then it’s our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can.”]

It’s simple: When the most vulnerable feel more unsafe, we’re failing as neighbors and as a nation. Look at who’s frightened under this regime—that tells you everything you need to know about their policies.

The machine demands exhaustion. The system thrives on burnout. But rest disrupts. Rest resets. Rest reminds us that we are more than what we produce. Rest is rebellion.

They don’t need to be successful with any of these illegal efforts.

Many will go to court—they’ll lose some and win some. Those few wins will be devastating to the nation.

Regardless, their larger goal is to instill fear leading to a sense of futility.

Rest. Regroup. Maintain resolve.

If you threatened to deport a bishop because they advocated for mercy, you’re not a follower of Jesus Christ.

Activists in Germany projected a message onto the Tesla factory in Berlin “Heil Tesla”

The German people know a Nazi salute when the see one. If you drive a Tesla, you support a Nazi.

So Target got real comfy thinking us millennial moms won’t take our basic girl bits to Costco & Aldi after they cut DEI programs to satisfy the new administration.

Big mistake. Huge.

It is 2 AM and the confirmation of Hegseth will keep me up for many nights to come.

For all of those who have posted my cartoon with my signature cut off, here is the original.

A story in three acts:

Act 1: Sexual assault epidemic in the military

Act 2: Pete Hegseth commits sexual assault

Act 3: MAGAs confirm Hegseth to lead military

MAGAs were never about merit. They were never about protecting women’s sports. They were always about advancing white male supremacy.

Welcome to the class of Gaslighting 101. Take notes, it's a four-year course.

Hi, I’m God.

I had nothing to do with saving that guy’s life or making him president.

Audiobook number 1 of 2025 done. As a perfectionist who can lose myself in my work, sharp and harrowing to read this memoir.

What the most famous book about trauma gets wrong People kept telling me to read "The Body Keeps the Score." I was shocked at what it actually says.
