The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your officials."

Mike Davis racist smear

Hakeem Jeffries posted pictures of two Rep. Members posing with “Young Republicans” who were part of a racist text thread (as reported by Politico).

In response, Mike Davis (well-connected in Trump World & on the Hill) called Jeffries a “house slave” for George Soros - proving Jeffries’ point.

Trump is DOUBLING the amount of the Argentina bailout, to $40 billion. Nothing's been done to lower your cost of living right here, in America. America last.

Unreal stuff from the guy who is unflinchingly loyal to the Insurrectionist-in-Chief - you know, the President who pardoned the January 6 insurrectionists and wants to mandate “Ashli Babbitt: Blood Martyr” as a new national mythos.

I know we're not surprised - but let us not forget to be shocked.

The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121. #epstein

I wish there were an inflatable deer costume.

Then I could dress as stag-flation for the No Kings protest.

So @hcrichardson.bsky.social has encouraged us to record or write what it means to us to live in a democracy. So today I spent some writing things I want from a democratic government.
We had these things as recently as last year, 2024. And that gives me hope that we can/will have these again.

But too many of the slaves died in captivity. And so Columbus, desperate to pay back dividends to those who had in-vested, had to make good his promise to fill the ships with gold. In the province of Cicao on Haiti, where he and his men imagined huge gold fields to exist, they ordered all persons fourteen years or older to collect a certain quantity of gold every three months. When they brought it, they were given copper tokens to hang around their necks. Indians found without a copper token had their hands cut off and bled to death. The Indians had been given an impossible task. The only gold around was bits of dust garnered from the streams. So they fled, were hunted down with dogs, and were killed.

After each six or eight months' work in the mines, which was the time required of each crew to dig enough gold for melting, up to a third of the men died. While the men were sent many miles away to the mines, the wives remained to work the soil, forced into the excruciating job of digging and making thousands of hills for cassava plants. Thus husbands and wives were together only once every eight or ten months and when they met they were so exhausted and depressed on both sides... they ceased to pro-create. As for the newly born, they died early because their mothers, overworked and fam-ished, had no milk to nurse them, and for this reason, while I was in Cuba, 7000 children died in three months. Some mothers even drowned their babies from sheer desper-ation.... In this way, husbands died in the mines, wives died at work, and children died from lack of milk ... and in a short time this land which was so great, so powerful and fer-tile... was depopulated... My eyes have seen these acts so foreign to human nature, and now I tremble as I write....

Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century “woke” ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison.

Below, are the accounts of Bartlomé de las Casas.

If your inflatable frog costume is stuck in tariff limbo, try one of these.

No Kings Means No Paychecks.

Literally saying if you don't pay fealty, you don't get YOUR OWN TAX MONEY BACK. You really couldn't write a bigger advertisement for this thing.

I swear if the elected Dems fold before this.

The inflatables have made it to Broadview.

Can Democrats Mock Trump Into Defeat? As the president embraces strongman politics, Democrats are increasingly trying to make him seem little.

"Inflatable frogs have been practically omnipresent, especially after a video went viral last week of a law-enforcement official shooting pepper spray into one of the frog costume’s posterior air vents (a sentence that I truly never thought I would write)."

Cartoon: Closing time This is, in fact, the final cartoon that will appear in OUR LONG NATIONAL NIGHTMARE , and I decided to have a little fun with that. The campaign runs another two weeks, but we are getting things ...

I hate that zuckerberg has stolen the word "meta" from us but in the old sense of it I went a little meta this week

Have they announced the results of this physical?

I love this image.

White House staff should just make and show him an AI-generated video where he wins, fly him to Duluth and tell him it’s Oslo, and dare the New York Times to say anything more than “Experts disagree about whether Mr Trump was awarded the Nobel Prize”.

Nobel peace prize 2025 live: María Corina Machado wins for work promoting democratic rights in Venezuela US president had been conducting campaign to influence prize committee

It's important to focus on who won, not who did not.

If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.

Bluesky after 11pm:

Nothing to see here, just Trump going for his second “yearly” checkup this year.

Anyone ready to admit that something is wrong with POTUS yet?

I'm not trying to be rude, but seriously, why does every member of the Texas National Guard look like the Pillsbury Doughboy?

I mean, cut the rations, maybe?

I’m not saying that the Washpost’s new Opinion editor was sent on a mission destroy that section’s reputation.

I’m just saying that if someone were sent to destroy the Opinion section’s reputation, they’d be doing exactly what this guy is doing.

#WarRavagedPortland

AG Bondi, here’s that correction you requested.

If Chicago wanted to make those Texas soldiers feel at home, they'd wait for a blizzard, then turn off all the power and go to Cancun for the weekend.

Me, too!

So good to see you here! Don’t waste your time on Xitter.

I have quite enough to be depressed about without your dystopian autocracy bullshit, thank you very much

Referring to the abuse visited upon over a thousand girls as a “red herring” is nasty work, you asshole.

Have you read the book Why Cats Paint? It has some instances of sculpture.
