Justin Trudeau gave the exact kind of press conference today that we have been waiting for from our Democratic leaders. Watch it and learn from it. No gimmicks, no stunts, no script, no platitudes, no slogans, no games. Just straight talk, honesty, sincerity and facts.

Handing government and our data to that sicko Musk and exposing our families' safety to Putin is the ultimate act of contempt towards the American people and the very idea of America, itself. Every single Republican elected, their plotters and their donors are guilty as Trump in this treachery.

People have to stop expecting Trump breaking a rule or precedent to be what puts an end to this. There are no guardrails, no referees, no institutional block. The only thing that will stop this is a grassroots movement of people organizing to reject an oligarchical takeover. That’s it. Period.

Let’s get something clear. The GOP has the power to keep the government from shutting down in March. They control both chambers of Congress and the White House. If they can’t reach a budget deal within their own ranks, that completely on them. Dems: Don’t lift a finger to help them. Not one.

Bad messaging: We need to educate our constituents so they know we don't have any power. Good messaging: We will do everything possible to protect our constituents and democracy, we hear their concerns, and we're going to tell them daily how they can help us oppose autocracy.

I am calling for a total & complete shutdown of all Ctrl-F searchable historical databases in the United States until our country’s historians can figure out if these so-called “originalists” actually _read_ any sources written in America anytime between 1776-1791 and 1865-1868.

The 2nd time I drew Superman, 2016. This is a fundraiser poster I made for the Siegel & Shuster Society here in Cleveland. Young Jerry Siegel in front of his boyhood home on the East Side, dreaming of Supes. This is in the permanent Supes display at the Cleveland Main Library. That's darn cool.
