I remember thinking a lot about this cartoon when it was first floating around. It really does encapsulate the whole debate for me (silly it even has to be one).

Coverage of the March 15th Protest at Rep. Amodei's Reno Office by the Reno NBC affiliate. At 1:48 in you see an old geezer holding a 'NAZI FOTUS' with the Baby Trump blimp which is me. The crowd was lighter than 2 weeks ago, but despite Schumer we still had a crowd. mynews4.com/news/local/n...

100% agree, operate a business here, pay tax here. Why are Labour not looking at all of the huge companies that offshore profits. IT would be much less divisive, than going for "the rich", start with the Starbucks, Virgins and all the others that syphon their profits off to offshore tax havens

It’s terrifying to be in Elon Musk’s crosshairs. I’ve spent the last 48 hours dealing with the aftermath of these tweets. Everything he has said about me and Troublemakers is an outright lie. The right to protest is at the heart of American democracy. Join a #TeslaTakedown protest. ✊❤️

Trump is always given credit because “he says it as it is.” Well, let me say it as it is: Trump is a racist, rapist, bigoted, fascist leaning, sexist, criminal.

80% of crimes are driven by poverty, if the people weren't poor they wouldn't commit the crime. Billionaires are the biggest cause of poverty. Therefore billionaires cause 80% of crime.

If you think that Europe is doomed, you’re not paying attention. Wrote a recap of the latest developments and call me a hopeless Europtimist but I think Europe+ (including Canada) isn’t doing too bad in terms of offering Ukraine an actual perspective for the future. With or without the US.

To the vatniks, campists, fascists and self-described "pragmatists" saying "maybe Trump has got a point": There is one nation and one nation alone that should decide the terms for peace in Ukraine. Ukraine.

Not an overstatement to say Wikipedia is the greatest achievement in information ever. It's also the backbone of the internet. Google doesn't work without it, for instance. It's kind of the last, best thing really working for humans on the shared knowledge front. Can't let him mess with this.
