So as @PekkaKallioniemi pointed out, "Sneaky way to include the Russian flag in your official messaging." 🤔

72 years later, this image still seems to resonate.

'In America - At This Restaurant Only One Person Is Served' (Krokodil # 4, 1953) by Yuliy Ganf. The solider at the table being well fed is labeled “war” and the neglected tables are labeled 'Education', 'Health Care', 'Libraries' and 'Art'.

I just checked the map of bigoted Congressperson Mary Miller’s district and oh my gosh is it gerrymandering run amok.

A centralized intelligence database on all Americans is not inherently legal.

It likely breaks the Privacy Act of 1974, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), the 1st, 4th and 5th Amendments.

This must be stopped. Contact your Senators and Representative and ask them to stop it. I use @5calls to call mine.

Ukraine seems to have kicked one of the legs of russia’s nuclear triad pretty hard.

“Ukraine says it has hit more than 40 ‘enemy bombers’ in a drone attack deep inside Russia - which could cost the Russian air force $2bn. Last night, two bridges also collapsed in separate Russian regions - which authorities blamed on ‘explosions’.”

@ATLeagle such great sketches.

Whatever you do, do not call the number and recount the story of the time you were working commercial towing and a co-worker’s indigestion turned out to be a chest bursting health hazard that should have been nuked from space. 👽

tesla has become a car selling company that doesn’t sell cars. But the cars do explode.

space x has become sending rockets to space company that doesn’t make rockets go to space. But the rockets do explode.

elon has become a government waste, fraud and abuse stopper who doesn’t stop government waste, fraud and abuse. Can he follow their lead?
