I just want to make my silly little art, not become an expert in politics and beg my representatives to do their damn jobs.

Every ten minutes here is like: - Trump doubles student debt - Musk now has keys to your house and is in your bathroom doing plumbing drugs - Three planes just crashed - Trump signs EO making women illegal - Face-melted Nazi from Indiana Jones now in charge of CIA - Meteor not arriving fast enough

I will say again: The destruction of the CFPB—an agency that has brought in $20 billion over a little more than a decade despite having an annual budget that's less than what DOD has spent so far today—is the clearest sign none of this has anything to do with saving taxpayers money.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

Unplug everything from everything else. Lose cords. Remove tp from the bathrooms. Clog toilets with copy paper. Take the wheels off office chairs, set the seat to lowest position, and break the adjustment lever.

Do something, anything. Make calls to Congress every day. Stay informed as painful as it is, and “In the years ahead, don’t become the The Good German” 👇

Congratulations to the White House press corps who demanded policy details from Kamala Harris because she wasn't sufficiently entertaining and helped give us this monster.

Can someone with graphic design experience start an IG with images exactly like the White House uses but says the opposite? That’s it, that’s the entire channel. Just dumping anti-Trump propaganda every day. Doesn’t need to be true. The WH propaganda isn’t. Although this is true…

We should create a thread of companies that are committed to DEI, drop them here 👇 Even if ppl can’t stop shopping at anti-DEI stores entirely, we can reward the ones that prioritize diversity.

I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know. In payment, I'd like to boil the world's oceans dry, & steal all literature. For some reason, my head is not on a spike

To my nonbinary, agender, genderqueer, and otherwise off the binary friends & siblings: You are loved, you are valued, you are important to our community, you've been here longer than the tyrants, and you will still be here when their bones are dust and the names of their false gods are forgotten.

My heart is broken. Mostly I've been angry lately, but today I'm just very very sad. We are losing everything that makes America great and replacing it with hate and stupidity. The America I know and love will never be the same. I'm so very very sad. This is a tragic loss.

Oligarchs have always been insufferable. But in the tech age, every thought they have is blasted to the world. Imagine being stuck in your car with Henry Ford, spewing mouth-foaming, bigoted conspiracy theories in your face while you try to drive your car.

As we reach another January 6th, this one in the shadows of another election, what’s now impossible to deny, is that the insurrection we thought was defeated four years ago was simply postponed. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/grieving-7...

I don't want my fridge to have a camera or Wi-Fi. I don't want my dishwasher to be smart. I don't want my washing machine to text me. In fact, I kinda miss knobs and dials and knowing big appliances would last 20 years and could still be repaired.
