"There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners -- this isn't it."
Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

The artist, David Cohen is an Asheville-based artist/musician and resident of over forty years. His cartoon work spans various subjects ranging from local issues based in Asheville to more national political events and even to one-off, word-play-oriented jokes. ❤️ Give credit to artists when you can.

WE ARE STILL IN THIS.
Wipe your tears.
This is the difficult business of hope and defying expectation.
We do not give up.
We run through the tape.

Y’all aren’t allowed to throw in the towel until I do. 😉

Big breath. Locked in. Let’s do this.

Hank, why would you ever do that?!

p.s. I am doing an experiment on whether threads or bluesky sells more good.store. Can you share? On bluesky the offer code is BLUESKY; over on threads it is THREADS. In both cases you get 11% off. Trying to figure out which of these sites sells more tea.

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.

Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

This is my fear.

And once they’re gone, those freedoms will be very hard to get back.

Mis- and dis- information swayed this election.

And they can do us in as a nation.

We need to wake up.

And we need powerful and responsible press outlets to do the same.
What worries me is that most Americans will simply ignore what is being done in Washington over the next couple of years. They'll turn on the football game, watch an episode of the Real Housewives of Someplace, and ignore it as fundamental freedoms and crucial institutions are carved away.

Forgive me for being blunt.

But “we’ll fix this in the next election” is NOT A GREAT RESPONSE TO WHERE WE ARE.

Normal rules are NOT in play.

Act now.
Organize now.
Speak up now.
Plan now.
Push back—and urge power- holders to do the same.

Now.

I learned how to crochet last month and have hardly put it down. I made lap blankets for my kids but this is my most ambitious project so far. It matches my living room and makes me very happy.

One of the changes I’m really trying to make (and I’m breaking yeeeears of habit here) is:

1) don’t post mad
2) don’t engage with people who are posting mad

I'm having a hard time figuring out how to curate this space for me. Like I want the news, but I want to be spurred to act and feel hopeful, too. After typing that, it does feel rather like I'm looking for a unicorn.
