You may recall that in January of 2025, artist Ann Telnaes announced that she had quit The Washington Post after editors killed a cartoon that depicted owner Jeff Bezos, among others, genuflecting to Trump.

This cartoon feels even more relevant this week.

"Fernando" is hard at work tying the stakes in place used for harvesting blackberries. This process helps keep the plants at a reasonable distance from each other vand provides enough space for the plants to produce as much fruit as possible. #WeFeedYou

An ice sculpture that reads "PROSECUTE ICE". I'm told the organization behind the sculpture is Common Defense.

Warning: Disturbing Footage

The beef industry is a system built entirely on the exploitation of the vulnerable. We’ve seen the footage. We know the truth.

Every time you choose a plant-based meal, you’re voting for mercy over misery.

Trump referring to the first Black President and First Lady in the history of the USA as apes is not a distraction. It is a major news story once again emphasizing how fundamental racism is to this administration and the Republican Party and conservative movement.

And right now media is ignoring.

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left.

It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

Amazon dropped $75M on the Melania doc — with a big chunk going into the Trumps' pockets.

Since then, Amazon Web Services got a $580M Pentagon contract.

And this week, Pete Hegseth visited Blue Origin facilities as the DoD overhauls how it hands out defense contracts.

Always follow the money.

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things
