Attempting to advocate for my elderly mom with #kaiser and #peacehealth, and I'm here to testify that our #healthcare system is as confusing and cruel as my worst nightmares. Can't imagine how many less tenacious people get abandoned. Beyond tragic.

Looking forward to this show and the rest of what looks to be a really fun trip to the UK coming together in May. Full tour announcement asap, see you soon!

From Gaza to gay people to the govt being gutted, it's re-breaking me daily that everything that Harris, Walz, Buttigieg etc warned us about is happening, every opportunity they offered is beyond gone, and people on the 'Left' are still whining about Dems and MAGA being 'the same'. #doomed

Let me emphasize: Elon Musk has not been confirmed by Congress. His “department” was never actually enacted. No one other than Trump has given him any authority. Democrats and any Republicans with a spine need to step in and stop this madness. Call your rep now (202) 224-3121

Khia neutering My Neck, My Back for Dove should break me but I'm just happy for her and cackling that THAT tune is doing THIS now.

“Today, we find ourselves in the middle of a battle of our own, as good people are being walked out of the F.B.I. and others are being targeted because they did their jobs in accordance with the law and F.B.I. policy.” -- James E. Dennehy, NYC’s top FBI agent. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/u...

I used to try to avoid posting about politics too much, because I know people followed me for art and comic stuff. But politics are affecting my ability to exist and create art, so I'm going to keep posting about politics until it gets better.

📌QUESTION: How can a private citizen, with zero govt. clearance be walking through the doors of OUR federal departments and the treasury, ransacking the places, stealing information, and NOBODY is stopping him? 📌And what the fuck is law enforcement doing right now? 📌THIS IS A COUP.

Whatever you do, please don’t log on to X and retweet things about “BigBalls” and the other DOGE staffers who are hijacking the government’s payment systems and citizens’ private data.

The Dumbest of Trade Wars enacted by the Dumbest Administration for these Dumbest of Times.

Doechii keeps being the most interesting and talented person in the building

RIP Marianne Faithfull, who had one of the more evocative voices I've ever heard, with every death she narrowly escaped in every syllable. Time to catch up on her immense catalog again. If you've not yet bathed in Blazing Away, go enrich your whole life, right now. youtu.be/NcwHBNfNtA8?...

Hope this doesn't find you arguing w someone saying DEI causes crashes and all the problems. That whole attack is obv a fash distraction. Loud & proud for historically marginalized ppl forever, and remind all that engineered wealth disparity is the thing that causes 99% of the problems for 99% of us

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Kennedy should NOT be confirmed. Agreed? Send letters to your Senators now and make it clear they OPPOSE KENNEDY ⬇️ ⬇️ actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Indeed. As with BLM, CRT, "woke"... the terms & ideas that they (MAGA etc) attack may change, but the anti-diversity, anti-science White Supremacist song remains the same. If that's not clear to you yet, you aren't being honest about history & present reality. Black, Brown, White etc STAND TOGETHER

It’s deeply disturbing that there are folks in my comments on this app advocating for Democrats to push conspiracy theories. The answer to Qanon isn’t to become BlueAnon. “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” -Dr. King

“The reversal raised a fresh question of whether Trump’s second term will revive questions of competence—even among the president’s admirers—about the administration’s ability to govern or adequately explain its decisions.”

After Felon47’s administration rescinded their federal spending freeze, I want to remind everyone that when we all work together we will crush any tyrant and their assault on our institutions and norms. People in DC need to understand they work for us, not the other way around! #WeAreTheOpposition

We are watching Project 2025 come to life. Thankfully, pro-democracy groups are fighting back in the courts and winning. @democracydocket.com's 17-person team tracks these lawsuits so you don't have to. Support their work. www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

Try to remember, it's overwhelming on purpose. Lots of dubious info flying around, consistent overt & covert threats being made (ie freeze all the everything), it's grifting 101. The less upset you get, the more you can show up for yrselves & each other, keep in touch w the facts, and keep going.
