We are largely awake if not MAGA!! And fighting as hard as we can. Do you have any idea how awful it is to BE an American right now? I feel nothing but shame, disgust and justifiable fear regarding the Trump Musk Alt Right agenda, and it worsens every damn week. Our country and its government have been hijacked. Our rights are being snatched away by a corrupt Supreme Court bent on Christian Extremism. You have every right to scold, but realize that we are trying.

@benroyce Most excellent toon. I fear our best students may choose to be educated in Europe too. The travesty at Columbia will echo for years. And won’t be a one off.

I’m so happy I follow you.

Promising to drive “a dagger through the heart of climate-change religion,” Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin on Wednesday outlined plans for an aggressive rollback of environmental regulations.

Per The Globe And Mail

From former Canadian P.M. John Chrétien

To Donald Trump, from one old guy to another: Give your head a shake! What could make you think that Canadians would ever give up the best country in the world – and make no mistake, that is what we are – to join the United States?

I can tell you Canadians prize our independence. We love our country. We have built something here that is the envy of the world – when it comes to compassion and understanding.

Tim Walz just capped prescription copays for Minnesotans at $25. In case Donald wants suggestions for his “concepts of a plan.”

“We’re putting the wellbeing of our people before the profits of big pharma.”

The country needed him. For far more than prescription costs.

Finally found an image that depicts my emotional state of being in 2025.

Well this bites, West Virginia. Way to emotionally and physically harm your teachers and state employees.

Per The Atlantic.

👀 THE OZEMPIC FLIP-FLOP
West Virginia gave obesity drugs to teachers and state employees—then took them away.

This is government insanity in a nutshell. I can only imagine starting one of these weight loss drugs, having success then having it all snatched away. Fiends.

Of course they are.

👀 Newborns are being left in dumpsters in Texas, but Republicans don't seem to care.

Why the GOP is unwilling to prevent infant abandonment.

2/ Only the biggest liars in the anti-choice movement — and to be fair, there's stiff competition for that award — would deny that the state's abortion ban is the main cause of the sharp increase in dead, abandoned babies. The Washington Post also notes that Republicans have repeatedly cut funding for prenatal care and family planning services. The result is what one Texas law enforcement official called "a little bit of an epidemic" of infant abandonment.

Per USA Today. Tragic doesn’t begin to cover it. To have this many unhoused people on America’s streets is a sin against so-called Christian Values and any ethics they may purport.

Across the U.S., more than 771,800 people lived without housing in 2024, according to a count taken annually on a single night in January. The number for January 2024 is 18.1% higher than in 2023, when officials counted about 650,000 people living in homeless shelters or in parks and on streets. #housing #homeless

BERNIE SANDERS WARNS U.S. IS BECOMING AN OLIGARCHY

"We are moving rapidly into an oligarchic form of society… We can't go around the world saying, 'in Russia, Putin has an oligarchy.' Well, we got our oligarchy here, too".

Aggrieved white men are a threat to democracy — history tells us we can't ignore them.

The American South, apartheid South Africa and Germany in the 1930s: One demographic caused destruction and chaos.
