they say stuff like this and you realize, they believe women just fine. they just don't care when we're hurt and think men should be allowed to paw at whomever they want without consequence.

Bill Maher Slams Mamdani And Endorses Cuomo But Admits 'Maybe He Was A Little Too Handsy'

The "Real Time" host also said Zohran Mamdani was born in a country "where they kill homosexuals" and brought up the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

Here is a corrected version of it. It should have any and all typos taken care of - but feel free to point out any! I want this to be squared away before I make any prints! Thanks, #JewSky for your enthusiasm!

A spelling-corrected version of my previous illustration: Hebrew calligraphy in dark green stretches in lines across the image. Negative space makes room for a simple representation of an inflatable frog costume with a blue bandana. That shape consists of the English translation of the Hebrew, in a lighter green, and in much smaller text.
--
Famously, the Egyptian tyrant causes Egypt to be overrun with frogs because he refuses to free the Hebrew people, but there are additional details that make this a fun one to ponder. For one, the Hebrew says "the frog came up" - ONE frog - even though the rest of the time it says "frogs." So there are a few explanations rabbis have come up with to explain this. One is that a single frog multiplied to create swarms. A more creative explanation is that there was a singular giant frog who traveled and brought destruction. Jewish social media was sharing videos of the Portland Frog protester with the caption, "One Big Frog! One Big Frog!" Of course the frog protesters did multiply, and many were seen in crowds all over the world on "No Kings" Day. This calligraphic work takes the verses addressing the frog plague and combines them to form a simple rendering of the Portland Frog protester. The frog figure itself is made up of the English translations of the Hebrew around it. At the bottom left my signature is in the shape of a lily pad.

People think they like conflict until they can’t get a moment’s peace and they realize they like instigating conflict on weaker people, not being on the receiving end.

Gotten a lot of comments/quotes like "they don't care, they *like* conflict!" or "they're psychos, they don't care!" The thing is: pretty sure virtually NOBODY, even the worst people in the world, can handle constant verbal conflict where they're the target. That's the point.

A lot of folks may think that just yelling at ICE agents is ineffective, but consider the cumulative psychological toll of being yelled at EVERY DAY when trying to do shit. Even the biggest asshole in the world who doesn't give a shit about other people will feel the pressure.

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high.

SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”.

Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers.

People need & deserve assistance

Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich

Be mad about that

I have an acquaintance who was looking at job applications to work in military healthcare and they have this among other short answer essay questions in the application. This seems insane, yeah? For comparison, my husband applied to work at the VA a few years ago and they had nothing like this then.

Question from a federal job application

3. How would you help advance the President's Executive Orders and policy priorities in this role? Identify one or two relevant Executive Orders or policy initiatives that are significant to you, and explain how you would help implement them if hired.

this kind of sexism is insidious bc it's often not even hateful. they can seem perfectly decent!

but ask them to name a woman they admire and frequently the only answer is, "my mother" or "my wife," and their reasons are always "their sacrifice [for me/my kids]"

bc they never think of us

To the craven "comedians" who are STILL not speaking up: The manager at the Chicago Laugh Factory was arrested by ICE. They filed no charges, he's a US citizen, and his family doesn't know where he is.

They are coming for all of us. Grow a fucking spine and say something while you still can.

welcome everyone realizing bernie sanders is bad. this isn’t new. he’s always been bad. you fell for a grumpy white crank and projected your beliefs of what a progressive would think onto him. he’s always been a do-nothing who only cares about white men (assuming they’re not disabled of course)

Sir Terry had a working knowledge of pretty much EVERYTHING humans interact with better than most of the so called experts.

The Vimes theory of “bootstrap” economics is the best thing ever written on the subject.

They are horrible... but also so very strange.

In this beautiful world of sunsets and kisses and flowers, good food and good drink, laughter, tears, and smiles, they insist on spending their single precious life deciding who gets to be human and who doesn't.

Tragic, ugly, and just SAD. A waste.

Where “cost effective” is defined as “the way we can use the system to make as much profit as possible.”

The Catholic Church medical care regime is not sinless in this regard either.

There are more children's hospitals than there used to be because the private equity firms decided it was less cost effective to have pediatric wings in regional hospitals so they closed them all down and now you have to drive an hour into a bigger city to see a specialist at a children's hospital.

There have been rumblings of a Black Friday blackout, where folks are encouraged to buy nothing at all or nothing from large retailers from Friday through Monday after thanksgiving.

Considering how successful No Kings has been, that has to be part of the calculation.
