George Soros is rich. Very rich. But I don't think even he has enough money to pay off all of those NoKings protestors today.

I know it's hard for MAGA to understand, but we all oppose this administration for f*ckin FREE.

One of my fav things about Baltimore Comic Con is their annual yearbook! A tribute to a comic artist, doubling as a signature scavenger hunt for charity! Here's my piece this year, a tribute to Jeff Smith's "Bone"- with Mia from my graphic novel "WATCH". Pick one up & swing by my table this weekend!

Zohran Mamdani uses his appearance on Fox News to "speak directly to the president," since "he might be watching right now."

Mamdani looks straight into the Fox camera as he says this >>>

Breaking: Capitol Police have been called after a Republican congressional office was just caught displaying a swastika.

This comes one day after group chat messages were leaked of young GOP officials saying “I love Hitler” and calling to put Democrats in “gas chambers.”

Left wingers debate if we should be screaming "OMG FASCISM!" or casually mentioning economic turmoil, prices, insurance rates. The biggest divide in Washington DC is the democrats who think we can just wait it out, vs those who see fascism for what it is.

I think it can be a blend. What about you?

In a very cynical & distrustful society who do NOT believe the news media, it's equally infuriating and ironic that stopping #Fascism may require us to pretend like this is "politics as usual".

People may roll their eyes at "OMG Fascism", if they think prices will drop. Remind them they're NOT.

The govt is labelling me & my activist friends "Domestic Terrorists" for being anti-fascist & speaking out against this admin- to be EXPECTED from a fascist regime.
Here's what I EXPECT of my fellow Americans: stand up for the freedom of speech, free press & the right to criticize the president.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

I'm sure MAGAs are pissed about this but if you think like Trump, SCOTUS doesn't owe him anything. Cuz Alex Jones didn't nominate 3 of them for lifetime positions on the highest court- Trump did.
HOWEVER, if you think these judges should "owe" presidents favorable rulings at ALL, you're just WRONG.
US supreme court rejects Alex Jones appeal over $1.4bn defamation penalty

Today, Mike Johnson will continue to keep the House adjourned for the 71st day out of the last 83, with Republicans refusing to show up to work again to avoid having to vote on the Epstein files or negotiate with Democrats.

Senate is back in session today.

1/ So a quick 🧵on where things are at on the shutdown.

You get a lot of propaganda and spin thrown at you, so I want to give you the real, behind-the-scenes tea.

Trump promised free plane tickets and $1,000 “exit bonuses” to immigrants who opted to self-deport.

ProPublica spoke to a dozen Venezuelan immigrants who said they followed the president’s instructions, yet never received the promised assistance.
“I Don’t Want to Be Here Anymore”: They Tried to Self-Deport, Then Got Stranded in Trump’s America
Venezuelan immigrants signed up for a Trump-promoted app called CBP Home, which promised a safe and easy way to leave the country, and prepared to leave on their given departure dates. Those dates hav...

“The Death of Public Health”

Jonas Salk saved millions with a polio vaccine. He gave it away to help humanity. Today, venal and yes, evil billionaires—Koch to Musk to Peter Thiel—are fully behind destroying American society for profit. They want you poor, sick, and desperate. We must stop them.
The Death of Public Health
Another Friday night massacre, but this time it's not just an essential federal public health agency that will die

Their complaints that Dems oppose the “rural hospital fund” are so hilarious.

Kind of like: “I’m going to burn down your house and give you a chocolate chip cookie instead.”

“That sounds terrible.”

“What you don’t like chocolate chip cookies!?”

What I didn't properly prepare myself for was that as the masked and armed fascists start tossing citizens into unmarked vans without license plates, they *also* take to television to opine on how patient they've been with their allegedly hateful and violent—actually law-abiding and peaceful—critics
