@nortverse.com You posted a poll on Patreon asking free members what would convert them to paid. I only discovered your comic recently and I signed up as a free member on Patreon. My intent is to eventually switch to a paid member if I'm still reading the comic after a while. I have ~20 I pay now.

Knocking down the White House with a wrecking ball is bad, but I am MORE concerned about how he is knocking down 250 years of Democracy. Trump AND the Supreme Court are wrong: America does NOT have a King

The murder of Charlie Kirk is yet another tragedy related to the proliferation of guns in the US. So, if we ever manage to re-establish rule by the Constitution in the US, perhaps we should clarify: 2nd amendment as in Miller, not as in Bruen.

@wearechorus.bsky.social One of the results of the controversy stirred up by the Wired article has been that a lot of people (like me!) who had never heard of Chorus are now aware of it. I think it is doing a good job. Are there ways I can contribute to support Chorus (financially or otherwise)?

The precise moment when and where in recent weeks America crossed that invisible line from democracy into authoritarianism can and will be debated by future historians, but it’s clear that the line itself has been crossed. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-ti...

When you decide to post something talking about the harms caused by Trump's latest budget, please don't call it "The Big Beautiful Bill". Refer to it by its full name: "The Big Beautiful Billionaires Bill".

@aoc.bsky.social In the past I have donated to "official" groups like the DCCC to support key House races. But more recently I feel that I do not trust the Democratic party establishment. You are one of the figures who I DO trust. Can you recommend a fund or PAC to support close House races?

"Attorney General shall initiate appropriate action to repeal or amend the implementing regulations for Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for all agencies"

What's Title VI?

"prohibits discrimination against or otherwise excluding individuals on the basis of race, color, or national origin"

It seems to me that massive world-wide tariffs should fall under the "major questions doctrine" since the Constitution clearly reserves the right to tax for Congress. Unless the true guiding principle of the major questions doctrine is which party proposed it.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

I have a free open source project that I have built for schools to use. One school system says "any outside vendor provide evidence of having cyber insurance". Does anyone know of an open source project that obtained cyber insurance? If so, who did they work with and how was that done?

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

There is never any shame in using the library, and much benefit in doing so. They are the closest thing to an unmitigated social good that we have in these United States, which is why the hard right is gunning so fervently for them these days. A world without libraries and librarians is a poor one.
My book-buying budget is not what it once was, which is precisely why I’m using the library more. It also gives me the opportunity to read books that I’m not sure I want to add to the home library (not that there’s a lot of room to do that anyway).
