Like any proper toon, I have a phrase that if I hear the beginning of it, I will have to burst out and finish it.
If I’m ever hiding, and you need to find me, just say “God Save the..” and I promise you, I shall burst out and finish the phrase.

Here’s video of federal agents doing a drive by pepper spraying that hit a father and his one-year old on Saturday when the Feds were hitting Little Village and Cicero

This is a video ICE just driving by and shooting into a car with pepper spray.
The car had a 1 year old. This was in my hometown of suburban Berwyn, Illinois.

Please read this entire excellent piece by Caroline, which points out that a judge ordered the Feds (again) to stop doing **this exact kind of thing** and they are still continuing to do it all over Chicago

Arianna Sofia Veraza and her parents were driving to Sam's Club for milk, eggs and diapers yesterday when they heard helicopters and horns blaring yesterday. They had turned around to leave when a federal agent pepper-sprayed them through a car window.

God help me, my brain came up with a mightily strained metaphor comparing the current constitutional crisis in the U.S. to the nearly 350 years war between England and France (1152-1492) to decide what kind of a country France was.

As long as I’ve been an adult (2000) we’ve been in a mostly slow moving constitutional crisis, where the Republicans gradually ramp up their attacks on the system to establish autocratic rule.
Uncomfortable truth about US politics is we’ve been in a constitutional crisis this whole century, and there is no way out short of a revolution. Kind of a midwit thing where the super low-info voters get that and the polisci professors get that and everybody else is like, Dems gotta try harder!!
The Republican Senate majority is built on minority rule, enabled by unequal representation & the two-party system.
The GOP hasn’t won more total votes or represented more people than Dems since the 1990s. They’ve won the Senate in 7 of 13 elections since 2000 anyway

Astonishing: Bovino and his agents showed up at the Bean this morning to pose for pictures. While Border Patrol snapped photos, one agent shouted, “Everyone say, ‘Little Village!’” The neighborhood where they are least welcome and most acutely felt. blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/10/b...

It’s an amazing opening to that book.
It’s a hard, depressing book to read. And as I get older, the final line haunts me more.

I have somehow never read Breakfast of Champions and holy hell in three pages Vonnegut sums it all up - colonialism, racism, income inequality, and a guy who owns a car dealership who reads a scifi novel and takes away the wrong idea
