This iconic Fabian Todorovic cartoon is still one of the best I’ve seen at illustrating the remarkable amount of space we surrender to cars, leaving little space left for everyone and everything else. The text added later makes the bonus point that many drivers still manage to complain about it.

Well, Senators Bill Cassidy and Thom Tillis, you wanted RFK Jr. to “go wild” at HHS.
Congratulations. You’ve achieved your goal. He is well on his way to completely destroying the US vaccine program.

Public hangings were pretty common in 18th-century England and did nothing to deter violent crime. In fact, they often turned criminals into celebrities and martyrs, and stirred up hostility towards the government, which is why they were abandoned.

One more thought about this which is that if the Court attempts to nullify the entirety of the Fourteenth Amendment then I think the liberal justices should also resign and publicly acknowledge that the Court is now wholly illegitimate.

I'm about 500 times more concerned with my own elderly parents being victimized by an identity theft or pig butchering scam than I am about them being mugged or burglarized and I think that's similar for most voters bsky.app/profile/todm...
I think the scams at issue are phone and email scams, phishing, identity theft etc. Most people I know are actually quite familiar with those, worry about them and wish government would do more to stop them. A promise to do something about that sort of scam might resonate with voters.

The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans.
Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.

They’re simultaneously arguing that soldiers have to follow all orders from the president, legal or not, but they get to ignore orders from a federal judge if they feel they’re not legal.
KARL: Did you know about the judge's order when you issued your order for the planes to continue?
KRISTI NOEM: This is an activist judge. We comply with all federal orders that are lawful and binding.

Health care costs are starting to hit even the comfortably middle class with a bigger chunk of their paycheck going to insurance that covers less just as they age. Once a critical mass of people understood the math and stopped being scared of "higher taxes" this was inevitable
🚨NEW: A new poll Americans’ support for Medicare For All has intensified to the point where the old attacks may no longer work.
As both parties legislate criticism of socialism, there has been a 50-point shift on a key question in just 6 years.

Obamacare getting healthcare to 20 million people saves about 30,000 people's lives a year. Or about a 9/11 worth of lives EVERY MONTH, in perpetuity.
This would be bigger than that.

My most firmly held political belief is that it should be illegal to refer to wet wipes as "flushable" considering the havoc they wreak on our sewer systems. It is entirely coincidental that Marxist-Leninism is the only way to achieve this.
