Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism.
I'm sure he'd hate it if you shared this cartoon. [Cartoon by Jon Adams/The New Yorker]

Presidents? SCOTUS gives them immunity.
Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute.
Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections.
But if you look Latino, speak Spanish, or work at a low wage job, SCOTUS says you can be abducted by masked agents.
The legacy of the Roberts court.

This is due to a law signed by Ronald Reagan and has nothing to do with this shutdown fight.
But consider this...
Emergency Medicaid spending in 2023 cost $3.8 billion — just 0.4% of total Medicaid spending.
Now what about the $20 billion taxpayers are giving to Argentina?

The largest group in ICE detention is now immigrants with no criminal record, with more than 16,500 currently being held.
Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about going after the “worst of the worst.”
This was never about legal immigration. It was always about cruelty.

The FCC once enforced the "fairness doctrine," requiring broadcasters to air both sides of an issue. Now, the FCC enforces an unfairness doctrine, threatening broadcasters that air views critical of Trump or his MAGA right.

I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs.
We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives.
What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

This is a bad read but it is important background - the Roberts Court is 100% unfit. Roberts has to go to protect the tattered remains of Democracy.
Without reform of SCOTUS the Constitution is just more right wing bullshit.

Or, you could maintain your decorum, and watch it all go to hell. They’ll come for you too.
