Picture of NaNo2.org official pledge 2025. I, Carley, commit to this goal: writing 10,000 words, and the following project: writing a cozy fantasy novel, for the month of November.

Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism.

I'm sure he'd hate it if you shared this cartoon. [Cartoon by Jon Adams/The New Yorker]
