Civic satire with teeth. A backbone forged in the Constitution. We stand against kings, cults, and cowardice—mocking what demands mockery, defending democracy without apology, and calling out every cheap attack on freedom.

No dogs were harmed physically or emotionally in the making of this meme.

Politicians are a different matter.

When the city lost all hope, seven frogs rode in from the wetlands.
They don’t ribbit. They don’t retreat.
They just HOP.

I thought they just sent people to special camps to become gay! I didn’t know there was a machine, but that makes sense. :-)
MAGA thinks schools are running “gender-conversion machines.”

Meanwhile, teachers are crowdfunding for pencils.

This is what they imagine — a Seussian nightmare powered by fear and fiction.

Lee, Jackson, Stuart. Beards.

Without these “beardos,” the Confederacy would have been down quite a few warriors.

The First Armored Division of Antifa has rolled on to Portland’s streets.

These are the terrorists Dear Leader warned us about…

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

People have power. Ask Target

I can't get over how weird this photo is. I love that someone in England captioned it: "Darling, be a dear and DO click on the floor lamp."
Colbert’s got nothing to lose.
Stewart could give a fuck less.
Meyers and Fallon — just a matter of time.

So what do you do?
You open the ACME app (now with one-day delivery), order a crate of TNT, maybe throw in a couple of anvils…

…and go out Wile E. Coyote style. 💥
During WWII, Disney put their art to work against fascism. Donald Duck starred in Der Fuehrer’s Face, a wild cartoon where he dreams he’s trapped in “Nutzi-land.”

80 later, Donald is on the wrong side of history.

Pritzker: What's at stake here is free speech. It's our constitution and our way of life. Do we really want the president intimidating people, organizations to get others fired? People ought to be standing up and speaking out.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel
Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

They weren’t called terrorists then. They were called heroes.

On June 6, 1944, antifascists stormed Normandy. Fascism didn’t fall on its own — it was resisted.

It was fought. It was defeated.

Resist. Persist.

We've now distributed $2.1B+ in voter-approved Prop. 1 funding for local governments to build out supportive housing and mental health programs for homeless Californians.

After decades of inaction, we're making progress tackling each component part of the homelessness crisis.
The Constitution was exclusionary by design. Yet Enlightenment ideals slipped through the cracks. Abolition, suffrage, civil rights grew like dandelions in the sidewalk. The experiment isn’t finished. Democracy requires stubborn persistence. 🌼

I get asked constantly -- from friends, family, random people I meet, from separate friends' parents in the last 24 hours -- how I report on politics, especially now, without giving in to despair and cynicism.

I credit Mr. Rogers.
