I believe government should support the common good. I will not give into the lies. I will not give into the fear. Arrest Musk. Impeach Trump. Defeat Republicans. I don’t care in which order. Arkansas She/Her

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

I don’t even know what the priest was saying and I sure as heck don’t believe he should have been shot in the head for no reason.

Look, you don't have to agree with what the priest was saying to believe he shouldn't have been shot in the head for no reason.

I’m glad a judge can see something as obvious as the nose on Trump’s face.

🧵Spotted on an Afternoon River Walk in Aotearoa New Zealand:

A woman (30s?) is having a snooze in a sunbeam beneath a huge gnarled wattle tree. Head resting on her pack, hiking poles to her side. Her dog (staffy?) curled up cozily around her booted feet.

🇬🇧 London friends! I will be in town later this week for a cool public event with @chrislintott.bsky.social (wegottickets.com/event/676292) and will be hanging out a few days. Come to the event and say hi if you can!

The End of the Universe

After a magnificent* 13.8 billion years** astronomer Chris Lintott (Sky at Night) and Steve Pretty (Hackney Colliery Band) lead a funeral and wake for the universe, as it sadly heads into heat death. ...

The lighter side of John Deering.

Cartoon “Strange Brew” by John Deering.

A frowning Batman and a smiling Robin are sitting at a counter in a cafe. In the background is a cityscape. Batman is covered in scratches.

Robin says, “Catwoman wasn’t amused by the laser pointer, huh?”

Cartoon “Zack Hill” by John Deering & John Newcombe. Two panels showing a boy (Zack) sitting on a couch next to an old man reading a newspaper (Mr. Belmont).

Panel 1:
Zack says, “I hate the time change.”

Mr. Belmont says, “That’s not for another month.”

Panel 2:
A shout comes from another room, “ZACK! You’ll be late for school!!”

Mr. Belmont says, “Oh that one.”

John Deering this morning.

Editorial cartoon by John Deering.

Beyond a partially open door, we see a balding man in a business suit and tie. He is watching a news report on tv. He has beady eyes and an evil grin. The sign on the door says “STEPHEN MILLER, White House Deputy Chief of Staff”.

The caption of the tv announcement is, “Agents used flashbang grenades, broke down doors, and led children, including U.S. citizens, out of the Chicago apartment building with their hands bound by zip ties…”

John Deering yesterday.

Editorial cartoon by John Deering.

Giants wearing military uniforms and boots standing in a row, only their legs and feet are visible.

Staring up at them are two tiny men wearing suits. One man is pointing and shouting, “Suck in that gut, General!” He is holding a sheaf of paper labeled “Secretary of War”. Two pieces of paper have slipped out and lay at his feet. One says “Fat Is Woke”. The other says “Hegseth Rules”.

Standing behind Hegseth is a fat, smiling blonde haired man wearing a too long red tie.

On this day in 1956 Albert Sabin announced an oral polio vaccine, which surpassed Jonas Salk's vaccine in making polio a thing of the past for millions around the world.

Polio afflicted FDR, Mitch McConnell, Robert Redford, and many others.

Let's not let RFK Jr bring it back.

I keep going back to Karoline Leavitt citing hospitals having to cover the cost of uncompensated care in the ER not as a reason to increase reimbusement for uncompensated care but as a reason to let people die.

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation.

This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.

All the ERs I’ve been in that have long wait times are because of all the people who can’t afford preventative care because they can’t afford health insurance.

This is your reminder that the Trump admin committed murder again this week, killing four people on a boat allegedly smuggling drugs. Do you trust anything you are told that comes from this WH? Of course you don’t.

I honor of mothers of boys…

Zits cartoon by Jerry Scott & Jim Borgman. Three panels:

Panel 1: Teenage boy using a utensil to eat cereal from a huge bowl. Liquid is spilling from the utensil. The caption says, “SPUSH! SPLOSH?”

Panel 2: Boy continues eating with even more liquid spilling from the utensil. The caption says, “SLURP! SCHLUCK!”

Panel 3: Boy’s mother enters the scene and says, “I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone try to eat cereal with a fork.”

The boy says, “The alternative was to wash a spoon.”

Baby Blues cartoon by Rick Kirkman & Jerry Scott. Three panels.

Panel 1: Mother is holding a cellphone and the end of a cord. She says, “Who unplugged my phone charger?!” A small boy holding a board game box answers, “It was me.”

Panel 2: The mother says, “Why world you do that?” The boy answers, “So you would pay attention to me instead of your phone.”

Panel 3: The mother is tightly hugging the boy. Tears are on her cheek. The boy says, “If this is my punishment, it is working.”

God forbid I actually agree with Bernie Sanders on government spending, but constitutionally, he's absolutely right here.

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · 6d

Sanders: These projects have been appropriated. They were signed by a president. It is illegal to rescind them. And to say to people in Vermont, in New York and California, oh, you didn't vote for Donald Trump, we're going to take away funding that was supposed to go to your state… illegal
