Cartoon: If anyone in Chicago knows this school or an anti ICE organization affiliated with them I would be happy to donate this art. I only wish I could have fully Sal Buscema-ed that punch :)

i find the idea of trump doing deep research into legal arguments screamingly funny. like, come on, even the deep-in-the-tank trump supporters don't believe this, get real. they didn't elect him for his scholarship.
Trump: “The Democrats refuse to vote for Voter I.D., or Citizenship. The reason is very simple — They want to continue to cheat in Elections. This was not what our Founders desired … There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not!“

It’s not a bug. It’s a feature.⬇️
NEW: A federal tool meant to find noncitizens on voter rolls is consistently marking citizens as noncitizens, especially if they were born outside the U.S., causing chaos as election clerks try not to disenfranchise voters, @zachdespart.bsky.social and I found. 🧵 www.propublica.org/article/save...
“Not Ready for Prime Time.” A Federal Tool to Check Voter Citizenship Keeps Making Mistakes.
The Department of Homeland Security pushed out the revamped tool while it was still adding data. That led to widespread misidentification, particularly for citizens born outside the U.S.

Scoop: The NIH infectious-diseases institute (NIAID) will soon scrub “pandemic preparedness” and “biodefense” from its web pages, according to e-mails I obtained.
The directive is the start of a broader shake-up at NIAID, which has long been attacked by Republicans.

"I may just have a heart attack and *die* from not-surprise!"
Hey remember the shooting in Minneapolis that happened between Renee Good and Alexi Pretti, the guy they claimed was shot by an agent after he had attacked that agent with a shovel? I know it's hard to believe but the agents' story fell apart and charges were dropped. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/u...

I got sent to the principal in middle school when our math teacher got frustrated and said “why can’t you girls get this as quickly as the boys,” and I fired back, “maybe you’re the problem, Todd”
the people who spread the “female brains are bad at math and spatial reasoning” lies should be tried at the Hague
Another fun wrinkle from that period (that might still exist): I was good at math and loved it and then my geometry teacher told me that I'd probably struggle because female brains were bad at spatial thinking. I kept loving math & being good at it but assumed that would end so I ended it first.

Calling the requirement for a judicial warrant before entering a person’s home one of the Democrats’ “new restrictions on federal immigration agents” crosses the line into outright falsehood. It’s in the Bill of Rights! A rule as old as the republic.

Cute visual, but I feel like Diana's comment explains the joke overmuch.
Doesn't help that the charred figure isn't really recognizable as the orange waste of oxygen, if indeed this is a current cartoon.

Men-At-Arms by Terry Pratchett was published in 1993. Just noticed this footnote:
‘The axiom “Honest men have nothing to fear from the police” is currently under review by the Axioms Appeal Board.’

The fundamental problem with any system of rules is that it depends on them being followed, or at least enforced.
But when one team owns the referee, it's a lot easier to get away with tackling the guy with the basketball.

Every time that orange waste of oxygen cozies up to a strongman dictator, I'm reminded of the cartoon with the two dogs:

A little while back I predicted we’re about 5 years away from people writing off germ theory in the US and washing your hands will be seen as a “political act.” I was too optimistic, we’re already there.
