I think about this comic at least once a week

This is an official plan for ethnic cleansing. If you supported Israel for the past 18 months or so under the assumption that this was about the hostages you were taken for a ride. If you still support Israel's assault on Gaza, you support ethnic cleansing. It's that simple.

Put them in the "Pacific Ocean somewhere"? You can hit Alcatraz Island with a rock from the SF coastline you rube

Gee wonder who that would benefit!

on top of everything else, anyone who has taken even a minimal interest in their children understands that 11 year old babies are not a thing

watching other anglosphere nations elect uninspiring technocrats

Can't wait to buy my Victory Gin and find a prole who can roll me a good cigarette. Thanks, Grandpa Trump

The Worst Person You Know Just Made Some Great Points

Be a Pritzker, not a Whitmer

Whitmer, Newsom, and Polis could learn a thing or two from @jbpritzker.bsky.social. This isn't a normal GOP administration you try to squeeze a few things out of. Total opposition until we defeat this authoritarian movement.

If they say "we're starting to see some problems" it means the system is already on fire

"If you think Trump tried to overturn the election — why the f*ck would you have dinner with him?" From the new 'We're Not Kidding', comedian @gianmarcosoresi.bsky.social and @mehdirhasan.bsky.social rant about Bill Maher's hypocrisy for having dinner with Donald Trump.

Pritzker calls for mass protests and disruption - “Republicans cannot know a moment of peace,” he says, swaying their portraits will one day be put in museums “reserved for tyrants and traitors”

yeah I enjoy hard sci-fi

Am I the last person on Earth who's never given ChatGPT a prompt? I'm out here swatting away intrusive AI tool suggestions in every app like 90's pop up ads #AI

I care less about Signal chats and more about the blacksite offshore concentration camps we're sending random people to without any semblance of a trial, so I'll be interested to see if the national media can rub their bellies and pat their heads at the same time this week. Historically they can't.

Trump is so deranged I'm in political coalition with Bill Kristol and David Brooks...please Superman, deliver us from this hellscape of a timeline

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

Not Antisemitism (according to MAGA): - Firebombing a Jewish governor‘s house during Passover - Doing a Sieg Hitler salute - Eating dinner with neo-Nazis Antisemitism (according to MAGA): - Saying Israelis and Palestinians deserve rights and dignity - Using freedom of speech on campus

Trump says he'd like to deport US citizens to El Salvador: "I'd like to go a step further. I don't know what the laws are, we always have to obey the laws, but we also have homegrown criminals that push people into subways... I'd like to include them in the group of people to get out of the country"

“The reporter from MyPillow asked the White House press secretary why the president looks so healthy and robust” is a true sentence that exists in our current reality.

mmm

WHOA. Trump will strip Temporary Protected Status from thousands of AFGHANS, at a time when the Taliban is fully in control of the country and carrying out total oppression. If any country deservers TPS, it's obviously Afghanistan! We're going to send women back there to be treated as property?

I imagine this person was thinking about IP/knockoffs, but did these people not get forced to read Orwell? Or did they just not digest it? #ICE

Literally 'they yearn for the mines'

I know what you mean but this isn’t in fact an impossible position, and it shouldn’t be a difficult choice. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/u...

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. This number can connect you to both the House of Representatives and the Senate offices.

your honor, I’d once again like to renew my objection to living in the dumbest timeline
