Know your rights. Protect your neighbors.

New York is — and always will be — a city for all immigrants.

Never believe the fuckers who say "why bother, they already won"

As a son of Appalachia, I understand the opioid crisis better than anyone. That's why I'm proud to stand with the Honduran president who delivered drugs to needy Americans with such efficiency.

Trump Announces Pardon for Honduran Ex-President Convicted in Drug Case

"We blow up ‘alleged’ drug boats in the Caribbean but pardon actually convicted drug traffickers in the U.S. Someone help me make sense of this.”

Lord I see what you have done for others

A six-panel comic. In the first panel, a yellow warbler says "Hey so I'm going to go out on a limb here." In panels two through five, the warbler hops along a long branch against a blue sky with clouds. In panel 6, it stops at the end of the branch and sings.

As the year comes to an end, I'm reposting some of the comics I made this year, including this ridiculous thing.

It took me decades before I learned what copacetic means, and maybe an hour before I forgot it again.

As a typical person with absolutely no rizz whatsoever, I am always dumbfounded by what people with charisma can accomplish.

A map southeastern North America, with six lines showing the migration routes of six butterflies. Four of them wind their way from the northeast down to Texas, then straight down toward Mexico City. Two head down the east coast of the U.S. to Miami.

Ultralight trackers make it possible, for the first time, to track the migration route of individual butterflies. Here are the routes taken by six monarchs this fall. Poor CMP032 got blown out to sea in New Jersey, and still managed to make it back to Florida. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/17/s...

I don't think the president should accept gold bars from foreign governments

This is so so disturbing. Trump is now pardoning January 6th rioters for unrelated crimes, just to reward them for their violence to keep him in power.

The Republican Party is in the full time business of endorsing and incentivizing political violence. So scary.

It’s wild that you can just openly bribe the President of the United States with chunks of gold to get
whatever you want, it’s fine, you don’t have to hide it, just say “I am bribing the President with gold,” zero consequences.

Quick break from UVA stuff to remind people…the Rt. 29 pedestrian bridge is open! This bridge paves the way towards safer, more walkable, and connected communities (literally it connects Albemarle and Charlottesville)!

This screws over virtually every lab

The Cville Dems are always neutral in primaries, but we are happy to pass along information about all of the candidates.

Senate reaches deal on ending the shutdown Democrats are coalescing around a bipartisan agreement to fund the government.

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise.

Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families.

Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

James Watson, dead at 97, was a scientific legend and a pariah among his peers James Watson, the co-discoverer of the structure of DNA who died Thursday at 97, was a scientific legend and a pariah among his peers.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

The weirdest thing about modern politics, is this thing where if people found out their favorite politician were secretly having sex with turkeys, they wouldn't say "he's bad" but just, "this sort of thing is really going to give ammunition to those people who said he was a turkey-fucker."
