Remember: all that rotting food & medicine were prepared by American workers, farmers & scientists. We're not only depriving starving, vulnerable, ill people with the help they so desperately need -- we're screwing American workers, farmers & scientists whose livelihoods depend on this work.

"The amount of US aid to Ukraine...is less than half of the personal wealth of a single US taxpayer, Elon Musk. In fact, the increase to Musk's wealth since Trump was elected president three months ago is greater than all of the [U.S.] aid given to Ukraine over the last three years."- Timothy Snyder

One of my proudest accomplishments was winning the New Yorker Caption Contest in 2015. Yesterday the New Yorker mag turned 100 years old. In honor of that celebration, this is the cartoon with the caption I wrote. I'm still honored & proud. Hope you like it.

In this time of abject cruelty, I truly believe that kindness & compassion are radical acts. Practice them. Don’t lose your focus or your drive. All needed. But also use the power of light against the dark.

This is horrific. How dare anyone look at this man as an inappropriate hire, given his background & resume. If only he was a white guy with anger issues, no military experience & a podcast. Thank you, Sir, for your service. www.aol.com/trump-fires-...

If you don't know Jonathan Pie, played & created by political comic Tom Walker, enjoy. He's a British Lewis Black who delivers his rants in the guise of a BBC reporter who speaks his mind while the "story" he's tossed to "plays". This on CPAC & appeasement. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jk0n...

Dear GOP: You're fine w/ plane accidents? Firing public health workers? Eliminating Medicare? Firing nuke experts? Poison food? Interning legal aliens w/out trial? A "King" who mulches the constitution? A non-citizen destroying lives, stealing our data? Your inaction proves you're 100% onboard

Never forget. The worst of history repeats itself unless you study it, know what the game is, & stop horror from repeating itself. Yet another reason why they don't want history taught in schools.

Here's absolute proof T doesn't believe Volodymyr Zelenskyy is an evil totalitarian dictator who holds fake elections. T doesn't like him. If Z did any of those things, he'd adore him.

We can expect a lot more of this if the government continues to "waffle" over regulatory commissions that keep food safe. But hey! The poison mix is only in 11 states. Maybe replace maple syrup with bleach. www.prevention.com/health/a6384...

It's not about "protecting children." It's about denying children education, the opportunity to learn, the experience of actual "thinking." Surfs don't need to be able to read or think. Just to obey.

Of course they want to destroy public education & science. People who understand evolution will quickly realize "devolution" has robbed every GOP politician of a backbone.

A little light reading. This'll be popular in the "re-parenting agricultural camps" Bobby Jr wants to send young black kids to do "unpaid agricultural work" without access to phones, family or computers. Unpaid agricultural work w/ no access to family or the outside world. Sounds...so familiar.

Trying to be positive today. I've always tried my best to live up to this & I don't intend to stop now. Or ever.

I just want one day that isn't worse than the day before.
