Yeah. We have to stop standing still. He thinks we will do nothing as we slowly boil.

He’s telling everyone he wants to destroy the country

And they’re like ‘maybe if I personally stand very still and don’t react I won’t get any on me’

Which is not how this works

I laughed so hard at this one, something between the illustration of the veins stopping below the face and the menacing arcs of blueberry suggesting a much greater blueberry menace just out of view, or that he looks so resigned to it, like a captain of a doomed but noble vessel, I love it

I urge our nation to use this weekend's No Kings marches as a declaration of independence against the tyranny and lawlessness currently running this country.

Use your voice. ACT PEACEFULLY. Protect yourself and your community.

THERE ARE NO KINGS IN THE UNITED STATES.

FYI - maybe a US issue? - I tried this on mobile and it did not work, but I was able to contribute using a desktop browser. Not sure if others are having the same issue. It would not take my zip code.

If you were loud for Jimmy Kimmel, crank it up for Leticia James. Authoritarian bullies count on silence to get away with it; make some noise and have her back!

How old were you when he started working on this? I was 28, and I remember. He wanted what was basically single-payer. The ACA we got was a huge compromise because of wankers such as Lieberman. That we got anything *at all* was a big deal.

Thank you for this. You have yourself another follower and soon, a paying reader!

Your writing is beautiful in a way that hurts to read. It somewhat reminds me of the dichotomy of 'depression/self-awareness as necessary evil' and 'the world as a gorgeous place full of wonder' that I found in the works of Richard Brautigan as a kid.

Chicago At Night is my favorite Sppon song. The whole album is perfect.

I think I’ll take your advice.
