This:

Merrick Garland was nominated nine months before the November elections, in March. The Republicans said that the nomination was too close to the election. The STOP legislation would give less than nine months for millions of people to find their birth certificates or get a passport. Nonstarter.

I’m wondering if those cages have beds with mattresses. With or without mattresses it’s a lot of money to spend on a bed.

Dan Koh: In the last year, this leader tried to take sovereign land unilaterally, use the justice system to jail enemies, & actively shut down independent media voices

That was Vladimir Putin—the fact that so many ppl thought I was describing Trump right now shows how much our democracy is at risk

I do not understand what audience this man is trying to reach.

How do you disgust me? Let me count the ways.

First they came for the transgendered, then they came for people with brown skins, now it’s Muslims. You’re crazy if you think you are immune from the great purge.
Unless of course you made it into the Epstein files

“It is going to be fun to be right about AOC as more and more Dems congregate on her of the issues, independents as well as some working class Republicans of color - I have yet to hear AOC take a position that I disagree with. Fact. I believe she is the future of the party.”

It’s like we don’t care about others’ children.

Dear Pam Bondi, (A Letter From A Father) Dear Ms Bondi,

Rep. Balint is a badass….well done!

Mahatma Gandi once said, "The only tyrant I accept in this world is the still small voice within me."
My inner voices are often at war with one another, but one thing they all agree on is that injustice - most of all the harm of innocents - is unacceptable of any of us who have ever carried a badge.

January 24, 2026 at 18:42 Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti "We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the 'hero' term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

💔 Michael and Susan Pretti, parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti:
“Please get the truth out about our son.”

Joy, peace, hope. these are more than concepts. These are possibilities. Put your imagination in gear and let’s get going.

Men who defend Jonathan Ross for murdering Renee Good are not safe to be around. End those relationships.

Truly this says it all

This says it all.

This is the Portland Police Chief and he breaks down during a Press Conference regarding the shooting of two people yesterday in Portland by Federal Agents. If you’ve forgotten what it was like to have a member of law enforcement with integrity and compassion — let this man be a reminder.

there are good people everywhere. Help amplify their voices.

please listen

I have to say that @deadder.bsky.social is one of my favorite political cartoonists. ❤️

Don't bother holding leaders accountable; become the leaders ourselves, take responsibility for governance, don't leave it to a small entitled political class. We're mature adults. We can break our chains of subservience and throw off our blinkers. Democracy is government By The People!
