I'll be honest. I'm not doing great right now. I'm scared about the violence that's coming. I'm despondent and painfully frustrated about the preferential treatment being given to such a bad person over children and other victims because they aren't considered important. Everything is overwhelming.

Political violence is abhorrent. I have not celebrated Kirk's death.

But Newsom calling for his followers to "continue Charlie Kirk's work," someone who praised stoning gay people as "god's perfect law," who called for men to "take care of" trans people like they did in the 50s and 60s, is not it.

Certainly looks like we scared the President away from Chicago. Fighting like hell works.

to the people who caught this in the discover tab: yes, I agree, the rest of Trump's appointees are also bad. the threat posed by RFK to the public health is unique among them. that is why the post specifies RFK. In addition, this is becoming so clear that there might be a window for progress
Nobody who voted to confirm RFK is fit to hold public office

Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago:

"If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

Everyone's screaming about how the left doesn't compromise and I keep saying I will vote for this guy. I am a communist who will vote for a billionaire. Centrists, tell me about even one instance when you have compromised like anything close to this. Or at all.
I made a promise to the women of Illinois — as governor, I will ensure your medical decisions will be your own.

Now, we continue fulfilling that promise.

Public colleges will now provide contraception and medication abortion at on-campus pharmacies and student health centers.

One thing I think people need to get used to is that not everything works out the way it did in the past and, indeed, new things are going to burst forth from this chaos that can be energising and, I believe, lead to better things. And at the very least we may see some smarmy perverts proven wrong

Establishment figures want to downplay progressive candidates, even though we're the ones providing real solutions.

If we want to move forward as a country, we need to prioritize people over big money and corporations. That's what I'm trying to do:

There are these moments — the celebration of the assassination of the United Healthcare guy, the rage at covering up the Epstein files — when you catch a glimpse of an underlying consensus that doesn’t fit the official narrative.

Always grabs my attention.

Anyone who says "This is what they voted for" in response to the tragedy unfolding in Texas is having a vile thought and needs to sit shamefully in a corner until they learn what solidarity is.

Reposting this in case you missed it.
So Cartoon Planet is almost 30 years old.

My brother was rummaging through old photo albums of my mom’s and found an unopened Brak figure and a bunch of clippings.

I forgot about this congratulatory note from Fred Seibert, head of HB at the time.

if you need a few wins to keep your morale up:

state AI regulation ban: OUT

excise tax on renewable energy projects: OUT

Zohran Mamdani's victory wasn't a one-off for progressives.

I'm currently polling just single digits behind the lead, even though I was a "long-shot" candidate 3 months ago. That's because people-first politics WORK and we can't do it without you:
