Exactly right, and nauseatingly true.
There is so much about MAGA that like Trump’s M.O. is about forcing those who oppose them to engage and “participate” in or witness their domination. An entire regime of people who want more than anything to be seen performing power.
"Any artist cancelling their show at the Trump Kennedy Center over political differences isn't courageous or principled—they are selfish, intolerant, and have failed to meet the basic duty of a public artist: to perform for all people"- Kennedy Center spokesperson Roma Daravi

Keep protesting DOGE and Musk. They are still very real, very serious threats to democracy.

Lady Liberty is feeling a little beleaguered these days, so I put her next to Mr Lincoln for moral support. I think it’s a good move for both of them. ❤️🖇️

Still one of my absolute favorite cartoons of 2025, initially published after Mamdani's electoral victory. May it be so. 🙏

Yawn.
JD Vance gets the biggest applause of his speech so far when he says "by the grace of God we always will be a Christian nation"

Bless him.
A sole man protests as Trump adulterates more of US architectural history and memorials. This time, the Kennedy Center.

The man was simply walking his dog and stopped in horror.

Amen. If you haven't read this book & everything else @sarahkendzior.bsky.social has written, you might want to get started right away. You may cry & scream but you'll also remember why you love this country & why you're fighting to save it, though the monsters want you to forget & surrender. Don't.

Also, yawn, Susie. What a tool you are.
