This crocheted scarf 🧣 is all the rage this year. On a scale of one to ten how much swearing will a beginner do while crocheting it?🤔 🧶 #crochet

You know the assignment 👍

It'd be a real shame if this photo of President Obama receiving his Nobel peace prize went viral today, for no particular reason

It wouldn’t matter. They trust the liar more than their own eyes. I found that out the hard way.

States control elections. Hold them regardless of the WH nonsense.

Tariffs on a $60 amazon order were $480. (Delivery was denied.) People say 'just buy at a local store.' Where do they think local stores gets the products?

Strategically placed food trucks will prevent these guys from doing any damage

Wait…the tariff ‘revenue’ is going to pay for the farm subsidies, too. It’s almost like he’s making everything up.

The UK had a task force to investigate how to improve healthcare for women. Their conclusion? Healthcare workers should believe women when they present with symptoms. That was it—listen to what women are saying.

Several family members are multi millionaires thanks to farm subsidies. They should give up avocado toast like everyone else is told to do.

States control elections. The federal government provides funding and oversight but an executive order canceling elections doesn’t bind States from having elections anyway. constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay...

My favorite quote by him! 😀

I feel the same way about a ‘c’ word that freaks out Americans. Men spend an inordinate amount of time, money and energy trying to get close to one. The pursuit of it has toppled leaders throughout history. Apparently it’s incredibly powerful.

There are a lot of valid ways to discredit her. Ridiculing her looks? Not so much.

Comedian JJ Walker said decades ago the conflict in Northern Ireland proved that ‘in a country with no Jews, Blacks or Hispanics, people can improvise.’ Also the tech bros believe 100m Americans will be easier to control and therefore they need to reduce the population, however necessary.

This is also what it looks like when leaders advocate for their communities and are willing to stand up to fascism.

Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism.

I'm sure he'd hate it if you shared this cartoon. [Cartoon by Jon Adams/The New Yorker]
