How we draw the age of Trump and turmoil: two cartoonists go head-to-head | Martin Rowson and Ella Baron
Martin Rowson has been drawing for the Guardian since the 1980s; Ella Baron since 2022. In paint and pixels, each is tasked with capturing the chaos and absurdity of our political moment

UK PM Keir Starmer reacts to Cadet Bone Spurs claiming that allied troops stayed back behind the front lines in Afghanistan to avoid combat: “457 of our armed services lost their lives, many more were injured. So I consider Trump’s remarks to be insulting and apalling.”

If a person asked AI to
(1) take the UN logo
(2) reduce the map to not much more than the US, Canada, Greenland and Venezuela
(3) put it on a school shield from an old American high school movie
(4) dip it in gold paint
then the result would be the logo selected for the Board of Peace.

Trump has never believed in the principles that NATO was founded to promote and preserve. He doesn’t feel affinity for liberal democracy.
Some of us have always known that. Others are still learning. Better late than never. lnk.thebulwark.com/4rdmmhF

I know people keep saying this but it’s hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, I’m on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. It’s wild. Absolutely wild.

Leader of Reform UK, Nigel Farage, has a Donald Trump problem.
Even voters keen on his poll-topping party are unsure about the company he keeps.

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

Beautiful!
No amount of planting can ever substitute veteran trees: as habitat, as climate regulation, and for sheer *character*.
