The insane opulence of the Vatican has left me nauseated.

Justice KBJ is a brilliant strategist. She is working the rules to compel timely review of the stay in the SNAP case by both the Circuit Court and by the Supreme Court. This is why knowing which SCOTUS justice has supervision of the Circuit you file in is essential.

There is zero excuse for police, in a free society, to wear a mask.

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Hi, I’m God.

Jesus and I agree that starving the poor so you can build yourself golden bathrooms and golden ballrooms is evil. Anyone who does that shall burn for eternity. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Thanks,

God

A message from Virginia’s family:

β€œToday, an ordinary American girl from an ordinary American family brought down a British prince with her truth and extraordinary courage."

Virginia deserved better, and while she was still alive.

Release the Epstein Files.

It occurred to me that I’ve never drawn this Keebler gremlin before, which feels like quite an omission given the role he’s played as Salacious Crumb to Traitor the Hutt.

I voted YES on Prop 50 because we cannot let anyone silence the will of the people.

California is fighting fire with fire and standing up for democracy everywhere. Vote yes on Prop 50 by mail or in person on Election Day, this Tuesday, November 4.

Tampons and pads should be in all public restrooms - ESPECIALLY schools. Stock them like toilet paper.

Scotland, New Zealand, even Kenya do it.

But not the USA, where men (and even some women) are so aggressively sexist that they fight AGAINST period products in schools.

It has been said before, but it bears repeating: the elderly who’ve worked their entire lives to get $800 a month on Social Security aren’t bankrupting America. It’s tax-evading billionaires like Trump who are bleeding this country dry.

Sending love and respect to all my friends in the United States marching for No Kings today. I can’t join them, but in my own small way I’m honoring the endless fight against fascism where 1000’s of Americans gave their lives on the beaches of Normandy.
