If I'm ever unclear on my stance on the jackboots stomping around Minnesota and elsewhere, let me be crystal clear: I don't just want to defund them, I want to use the RICO Act to take every single thing each and every one of them owns.

I know the contrast is jacked up a bit in this image, but this George Gross cover still has amazing use of color.

$1 BILLION per nation to stay on the Gaza “Peace Board” — with Trump controlling the money.

Obscene, indefensible corruption. Monetizing the slaughter. There is no bottom. finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-w...

The more I think about this, the angrier I get. It takes a particularly virulent strain of sociopathy to sit and let hard-working people serve you a meal knowing that you plan to arrest them and send them off for deportation once they're off of work.

Really depraved shit.
A few days ago, Fox News was whining about ICE agents getting heckled at a Mexican restaurant in Minneapolis.

Meanwhile, in the town of Willmar, ICE agents had lunch at a Mexican restaurant, waited until it closed, then confronted and arrested three workers as they left.

I wonder how long it will take the media to catch on to the fact that ICE’s recruiting spree has effectively deputized every white supremacist hate group out there.

What a great cover. Love every aspect of this.

Trump has transformed the justice system into a Putin-style autocratic protection racket. The wealthy are not audited or investigated, if convicted they are pardoned. Political opponents are targeted. Unidentified masked agents grab people off the street, and protesters are shot.

Angie Craig is now arguing for the brilliant reform of ... making ICE wear body cameras.

Angie, Jonathan Ross filmed himself killing a woman on his own phone and released it to the press.

Just used the word "hitherto" in my writing. Not really sure how I feel about that.

Finished translating/ reading this Italian Joe Sub comic. Took a look time because it was noioso (boring) Moving on now to this Cappuccetto Rosso (Little Red Riding Hood) which appears to be more interessante.

Do you know how insecure and empty you have to be to accept someone else's Nobel Peace Prize? Especially after the prizegivers make clear that the award is given on the merits and cannot be conveyed?

It's twice as humiliating as accepting a manufactured peace prize by a sports league.

Some politicians laughing about the meaningless gesture of Machado giving Tr**p her Peace Prize are people who voted to confirm his choices of Noem, Kennedy, Hegseth, and more, which was, big surprise, not meaningless at all.
