Latest #cartoon. This sums up Trump's ongoing relationship with El Salvador's dictator, Niyab Bukele, and their open disdain for the U.S. judiciary and the American way of life.

Latest #cartoon, about the insane amount of gaslighting from this president

#Trump is eyeing a third term, in violation of the #22ndAmendment. He hinted at "methods" he could use to subvert the Constitution and hold onto power. You should be very concerned right now.

Oh, and #fascism scholars are fleeing to Canada right now.

Latest #cartoon. The House speaker is telling GOP members of Congress to stop holding in-person town halls. They're shifting to teleconference calls, in order to screen out angry constituents and control the narrative about the reaction to #DOGE and the dismantling of government.

Latest cartoon about ICE’s frightening and fascistic abduction of #RumeysaOzturk

Latest cartoon about the frightening lack of due process in #DonaldTrump's decision to deport Venezuelans in the United States to a notorious Salvadoran prison. Their families and attorneys are coming forward with evidence that some of these people were innocent.

How long before it’s us?

Latest cartoon about the disgraceful conduct by our elected leaders on Friday. We as a country need to rediscover the meaning of shame.

How some notable former presidents would react to #Trump, especially after today’s deliberately appalling White House conference with #Zelensky

Latest #politicalcartoon. It was extraordinary—and appalling—to see the #Trump administration’s #UN delegation vote this week with Russia, North Korea, and other despotic countries on anti-Ukraine resolutions. The U.S. government is abandoning its European allies in favor of its enemies. #cartoon

This is a Nazi belief about leadership. Nazis used the word “fuhrerprinzip” to describe the idea that the dictator embodies the will and constitution of the nation.

They’re telling us who they are and what they want to do. Musk and Bannon both delivered Sieg Heil salutes recently.

Starting an art program in the next few weeks and need to try out #pastelpencils. On the art desk: #Daenerys Targaryen, First of Her Name, Mother of Dragons, and Breaker of Chains

Apparently, Silicon Valley executives drafted this letter and sent it to Republicans in Congress. They warn that Elon Musk is trying to privatize the federal government and install himself as a “CEO monarch.”

But, you know, MAGA. We’re great again. Didn’t anyone tell you this is what greatness looks like?

Another #politicalcartoon about the highly illegal and grotesque decision by #ElonMusk to kill #USAID. People will lose their lives if USAID isn’t restored.

How utterly grotesque that the world’s richest man would kick dirt in the faces of the world’s poorest people.

This is textbook fascism.

Finished. #Trump is no friend to law enforcement (or anyone but himself). #editorialcartoon #Jan6 #pardons
February 2, 2025 at 3:46 AM
Working on this #editorialcartoon tonight. #Trump supports law enforcement by . . . pardoning the #January6 insurrectionists. Sure. #betrayal

Jesus, the @washingtonpost.com cartoons have been neutered since @anntelnaes.bsky.social left. A week in, and America’s media landscape is already self-censoring, the way I remember the press operating in Uganda when I covered its parliament. #cartoonistsunite #resistbillionaires #drawthetruth
