MIKE LUCKOVICH APPRECIATION POST @mluckovich.bsky.social is one of the greatest political cartoonists of all time. Thank you for 3 decades of scathing satire, remarkable insight and helping us all laugh to avoid weeping openly. 🙏 Your longtime fan, Mar🐫

I dislike the label or term centrist. I prefer pragmatist, or perhaps rationalist. And we need more of that, but muscular. We need rational folk willing to go toe to toe with the Musks and the Facists and other assorted mentalists. I'm available btw.

I mean, that was always Jesus’s approach, right? Comfort the powerful, grudgingly help the poor, but only when means-tested and ideologically approved. God’s Conditional Love. Like the Bible says so much. These people are just so [redacted].

Today Kamala Harris did what Donald Trump never could and never will. She put country above everything. Above heartache, above chaos, above herself. Today she showed the country what law and order is. Today she proved what a president she could've been. Today, I am heartbroken.

A friendly reminder that the charter industry was designed to help you feel comfortable with public school privatization (aka school choice) and is backed by the same group of billionaires, for decades, everyone is now painfully aware of. Chaos is the point. #EduSky

I was invited to speak about the upcoming Trump era and share some lessons and optimism. I declined politely. After more than 25 years of researching the far right, I have no more (new) lessons and optimism to share.
