for the ‘every driver should turn headlights on at night’ crowd: if you want to protect yourself, wear a seatbelt. if you want to add a layer of protection, turn your headlights on. if you fear car crashes despite those 2 precautions, don’t drive at night. don’t expect the world to take care of you.

dangit!
that philadelphia clip is from the june march. i don’t know why, but it got picked up early and everybody’s sharing it.
it’s unhelpful because:
A. it gives lots of people the excuse and evidence they need to dismiss ALL these videos,
and
B. MORE people marched in october than in june.

‘member this one? from december 2016.
at the time, i called it “hopefully not, but quite possibly the most prescient image of the 21st century.

norwegian political cartoon from december 2016, depicting donald trump portrayed as a crawling baby, wearing a diaper overflowing with diarrhea, his legs and hands and face and the floor also streaked with diarrhea, tugging at a table-cloth made from a US flag, also smearing it with diarrhea, and causing a globe on the table-top to teeter precariously over the edge.
