My last cartoon as The Salt Lake Tribune’s full-time editorial cartoonist

I will still do cartoons and the Tribune will still print them. I’ll just be a freelancer working from Portugal

The Tribune is family. Everyone should support them. Such excellent journalism

This New Yorker profile of Curtis Yarvin is absolute gold. I'm glad what I'm writing has Thiel as focus rather than Yarvin - there's not a lot left to say about him after this. Ava Korfman is an artist. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
Curtis Yarvin’s Plot Against America
The reactionary blogger’s call for a monarch to rule the country once seemed like a joke. Now the right is ready to bend the knee.

We have overcome near-death experiences before.

We shall overcome this one too. Not by denying we are in a constitutional crisis.

We are.

But we can and will prevail if we face the truth unflinchingly and never abandon the long twilight struggle against evil.

We must resist & fight.
Now that Trump has proven to be a ruthless autocrat, too many have grown timid and silent.

That is simply not who I am. It is not what I believe, and it is not what I will do.

Instead, I will worry. I will hope. And I will fight.

I strongly suspect this recent piece from Prof. David Knoll is about to be come extremely relevant and widely read.

We’re only two months in, & they’re cancelling research into pediatric brain cancer. They’re deporting US kids with brain cancer. They’re putting millions at risk of malaria, TB, & polio.

I for one will never forgive or forget those who said ‘it won’t be that bad’.

The economic pain tariffs can indlict on red states need to be talked about more than anything else right now. It will flip voters.

I did not anticipate that so many leaders across industries and professions would allow fear to silence them.

Even worse than their silence in the face of Trump’s actions against our democracy is their silent complicity as they watch their peers be targeted, humiliated and punished.

Two Republican senators told me tonight this vote shows they can execute the same strategy again — cut Democrats out of the negotiations on a gov’t funding bill, pass it thru the House, and expect Senate Dems to back down and not filibuster it.

“We liked it over here,” one said.
