@danielwarrenart.bsky.social I'm loving the Transformers series. Also, Elita 1 is clearly a mentally damaged femmebot with PTSD that needs serious therapy and to learn to let go... And yet I still find her more likeable than the IDW version.

A primer for the civically ill-informed.

Eh. Nothing that can be done now. Still one of my favorite comics and the Highlight of the later years of the original IDW continuity for me. :) The only thing that could have ruined was if Getaway... got away with everything.

@jroberts332.bsky.social Been Rereading MTMTE and Lost Light and I have mixed feelings about Nautica forgetting her feelings for Skids. Were there plans for her to remember Skids that were cut for time or was it always the plan for her to never remember him as one of her closest friends?

The average Meta AI User: Okay, Meta, I forgot how to breathe. Can you tell me how?

Me when watching the meta ai commercial: Hey, Meta, I forget how to breathe. How do I do that?!

Hate this man. Hate him so much.

Ron Johnson lets Donald Trump walk all over him in my latest cartoon for the Wisconsin State Journal.

Please remember, Republicans recorded free ads for Democrats.

Senator Ron Johnson goes on Tucker Carlson and pretends to have a spine…trashing the budget bill, calling it awful. Then he slithered back to the Senate floor to vote yes like a coward.

The image of Trump signing his bill into law makes me want to vomit... And to think I was having a nice day...

No One Is Illegal On Stolen Land—ICE Versus the Indigenous in MAGA's America Where would they send us?

Under Trump, ICE and border patrol are targeting and detaining Indigenous peoples. This piece doesn’t just tell a story. It challenges how we talk about borders, citizenship, and belonging.

He proposes releasing some ICE prisoners to labor on farms where the employers will “own them” and be responsible for them.

Historians have spent decades meticulously proving the straight line between slavery and modern capitalism’s concept of the laborer—or we could just let them say it.

With the awful news from the last couple hours, this post from the political optimism subreddit helped to break through a bit of the despair fog. Repubs know this is political suicide, ICE's support is crumbling despite the budget increase, and there's a myriad of ways to fight back. Keep strong.

Fox Mulder from X-Files saying “Hey, you got to stay alive if you want to stick it to the government”

“If you die, you let them off the hook.”

Needed this reminder today.

AOC: They’re giving people crumbs and they are taking away the whole loaf.

To @ronjohnson.bsky.social, Bryan Steil, and all the Wisconsin Reps who voted for the Bill that will cause so many people to be screwed over without Health Insurance and increase their food and living costs while cutting taxes for the 1% who don't need it: If we make it to November, you will pay.

already seeing people giving in and doomscrolling too like Do Not Fucking Let Them Make You Hopeless. this is how they got away with it in 2003. the news is already trying to manufacture consent, we have to get loud.

Large majorities of Americans, including many Republican voters, oppose bombing Iran. They might want to weigh in with both the House and the Senate.

US Capitol switchboard: 202-224-3121.

I'll just say this before heading out. If you're a young person in NYC, THIS IS YOUR TIME. The next couple of decades in this city are going to be shaped by what happens on Tuesday. Be part of the team that is turning the page on politicians like Cuomo. There are better choices.

There's no declaration of war, and no AUMF that covers this. Entering this war is wrong on the merits; we had a perfectly peaceful way to address Iran's nuclear program. It's also unlawful. A democratic republic should not be able to enter a war of choice on one man's say-so.

Here is yet another reminder that the Constitution is not optional…

Congress must authorize military force before any president—including Trump—launches a strike.

I know this can sound kind of silly at a time like this, but doing a war without congressional authorization is ample grounds for impeachment

If trump hadn’t thrown out the agreement we had with Iran none of this would have happened
But he just couldn’t let President Obama have a win

Well yeah this was part of the rationale for why this strike was a terrible idea, Trump very likely just started a war while also losing at The Shell Game like a common sucker.

Personally I am unfamiliar with any legitimate activity that requires switching license plates, which by the way is illegal.

"If we elect a female president, she'll be too emotional and start a war."

FF7 has the environmentalism but I think FFX is currently
the most politically apt Final Fantasy for this age because its about undying elders leveraging their children’s future for political gain and passing themselves off as a “lesser evil” even as they enable and support a bloated death monster

Where do you expect us to go when the bombs fall?

I'm not going to do a global political analysis right now.

I am going to tell you that I'm just old enough to remember the last time we had this same stupid fucking war, and tell anyone under 30: Do not enlist in the military. They will ruin your life and they do not care. Please don't do it.
