MAGA: We want all the immigrants deported & eggs to be cheaper! America first!

Trump: Actually, we’re gonna hire immigrants for all the tech jobs & it’s too hard to make groceries cheaper, but we are gonna take over Greenland & Canada to help Putin!

MAGA: Works for me!!!

The Week Ahead January 5, 2024

One way of protecting the country we love is keeping our memories of the events of January 6, 2021, strong and fresh. For too many people, the outrage has slipped away over time. Joyce vance.substack.com/p/the-week-ahead-e91

The Enduring Shame of January 6 A Day of Infamy that was just the beginning...

The man who sat at the center of the conspiracy to overturn the election — who summoned the mob that attacked the Capitol — emerged immune and unscathed. The chief perpetrator of it all is about to return to the office he left in disgrace and ignominy.

words fail

Ann Telnaes, a longtime political cartoonist for the Washington Post, resigned yesterday after owner Jeff Bezos blocked her cartoon criticizing Trump and the billionaires supporting him from being published.

Defending The Truth About Jan 6th We must be relentless and never ceasing to fight the lies

Jan 6th was a violent attack on our country, not a “day of love.” The truth is well documented, witnessed by dozens of GOP officials, it’s up to us to defend it against the relentless lies. My latest:

But clearly, this was Trump's doing all along. just wait for the spin.

The Enduring Shame of January 6 A Day of Infamy that was just the beginning...

So today is a good moment to pause and remind yourselves: You are not the crazy ones for remembering what actually happened. And it is up to us to keep the historical record intact.

CARTOONS OF THE DAY 🫤

(Cartoonists are rallying around @anntelnaes.bsky.social as she leaves the @washingtonpost.com )

“Four years ago, dozens of companies denounced the invasion of the U.S. Capitol and pledged to withhold support from those who disputed the 2020 election results. Now, many of those companies are lining up to fund Donald Trump’s inauguration.”

January 6 was the culmination of 4 years of lies. In the 4 years since Trump’s insurrection, we’ve watched our democracy fracture even further.

Trump is about to return to power and the GOP has abandoned our system of government, but we’ll never give up on defending our democracy. (video from 2024)

Actually, we can know exactly but you have to have a brain

The sad reality is, the overwhelming majority of Americans don't know there's a voter for the Speaker going on, don't care & won't be able to name him after the vote. This is what happens in a country where civics education is no longer universal. Its absence lets darkness settle in over democracy.

To those imbeciles claiming Jimmy Carter was a “bad president” while voting for this guy…

Another total nut job uneducated white man planning to take out large numbers of people because he’s angry

Happy New Year to all! Let’s smash some fashy faces in 2025!

No one asked for a Supreme Court stuffed with Opus Dei extreme right wing Catholics to be making our important decisions. Scalia, Alito and Thomas were demonstrably compromised by the millions of dollars they took in from billionaires. So yes the court is corrupted

I wish I lived in a country where Mitch McConnell, John Kelly, Bill Barr and John Bolton had at least half the balls of E. Jean Carroll, Stormy Daniels, Christine Blasey Ford, or Anita Hill.

The Dark History of New Year's Day in American Slavery By Olivia B. Waxman — "Of all days in the year, the slaves dread New Year's Day the worst of any," one 1842 account explained. Here's why.

New Year's Day was a day that enslaved Black people feared the most. Why? It was the day that slave masters would rent them out or auction them off. This would result in the splitting up of (cont)

Musk was not on any ballot so, no, you didn’t vote for him. You do know how voting works, right?

How is that a publication like Rolling Stone gets it right when so many other news orgs are failing at real journalism & keeping it real—and so damn obvious about it?
