21 days ‘til #Christmas… and who knows how many before #democracy shuts down.

At my Mall of American Values, #fascism is one holiday surprise that isn’t returnable.

#PoliticalCartoon #Affordability #DemocracyUnderAttack #USPolitics #ICE #PoliticalSatire #RetailTherapy #Tariffs #DrawnAndQuartered
A political cartoon set inside a Christmas-decorated shopping mall. A mother pushes her young daughter in a shopping cart. The daughter points toward a row of satirical storefronts: “Voting Rights – 90% Off Clearance,” “Rule of Law – Limited Stock,” and “Democracy R Us” with a banner reading “Going Out of Business.” The mother says, “We can’t afford that this year.” To the right, an ICE officer in tactical gear carries away a small handcuffed Christmas elf. Festive garlands, lights, and shoppers fill the scene, contrasting holiday cheer with themes of democratic decline and authoritarianism.

Can’t wait to trade in my safe, fuel-efficient car for an expensive gas guzzler that allows me to stuff six kids into the wayback, fill up the ashtray with Virginia Slims, and parallel park 8 feet from the curb. Retvrn.

A new pattern has emerged out of the repression of pro-Palestinian protests: "the Zionist provocateur spoiling for a fight, the police gunning for pro-Palestine students, a protester taken to the ER, and the university adopting wholesale the narrative spun by pro-Israel actors."
Jewish Currents article, "Portrait of a Campus in Crisis" UCLA capitulated to its own hardline pro-Israel activists long before Trump came calling. As a result, it's students hand repeatedly become targets of vigilante and police violence

Israel says it will reopen the Rafah border crossing in Gaza — but only so Palestinians can leave. Human rights lawyer Sari Bashi says it adds to fears that the U.S. ceasefire deal lets Israel "continue the ethnic cleansing."

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.
