All the Black Americans who are *also* descendants of the Founders, but for very different reasons, should come out and rickroll these idiots

If immigrating from England makes you a "heritage American" then I guess I'm one too.

Virginia Heffernan wrote this shortly after the 2016 election and it still holds true
THIS is what makes my head spin: The president is not a moral figure in any idiom, any land, any culture, any subculture. I'm not talking about the liberal enlightenment that would make him want the country to take care of the poor and sick. I mean he has no Republican values either. He has no honor among thieves, no cosa nostra loyalty, no Southern code against cheating or lying, none of the openness of New York, rectitude of Boston, expressiveness and kindness of California, no evangelical family values, no Protestant work ethic. No Catholic moral seriousness, no sense of contrition or gratitude. No Jewish moral and intellectual precision, sense of history. He doesn't care about the life of the mind OR the life of the senses. He is not mandarin, not committed to inquiry or justice, not hospitable. He is not proper. He is not a bon vivant who loves to eat, drink, laugh. There's nothing he would die for - not American values, obviously, but not the land of Russia or his wife or young son. He has some hollow success creeds from Norman Vincent Peale, but Peale was obsessed with fair-dealing and a Presbyterian pastor; Trump has no fairness or piety. He's not sentimental; no affection for dogs or babies. No love for mothers, "the common man"" veterans. He has no sense of military valor, and is openly a coward about war. He would have sorely lacked the pagan beauty and capacity to fight required in ancient Greece. He doesn't care about his wife or wives; he is a philanderer but he's not a romantic hero with great love for women and sex. He commands loyalty and labor from his children not because he loves them, even; he seems almost to hate them — and if one of them slipped it would be terrifying. He does no philanthropy. He doesn't - in a more secular key - even seem to have a sense of his enlightened self-interest enough to shake Angela Merkel's hand. Doesn't even affect a love for the arts, like most rich New Yorkers. He doesn't live and die by aesthetics and health practices like some fascists; he's very ugly and barely mammalian. Am I missing an obscure moral system to which he so much as nods? Also are there other people, living or dead, like him?

Your reminder that Lichtenstein never gave a dime during his lifetime to the comics artists whose work he shamelessly stole. Nor does his Lichtenstein Foundation which continues to profit greatly from those plagiarized images.

It's unforgivable. Lichtenstein was an immoral parasite.

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.

My favorite tried-and-true resistance tactic: Being Extremely Fucking Annoying.
Newspaper clipping headlined "!2 Boys Rout Fascists." Twelve boys, some of them less than 10 years old, went to Weymouth beach and barracked Mr. Robert Saunders, a Fascist speaker. He ignored them, so they went away and returned with toffee tins half filled with stones. Using the tins as rattles, they made so much noise that Mr. Arthur England, a 63–year–old Weymouth magistrate and superintendent of the beach, approached to stop them. A crowd of holidymakers, sympathising with the children, booed Mr. England, and a sock filled with sand caught behind the ear. In the sand battle that followed the Fascists were pelted off the beach.

Gasoline Alley by Frank King from October 20, 1929. Featuring one of Skeezix and Walt’s annual Autumn walks. Gasoline Alley at its best.
Over twelve panels, they walk through the woods and open fields while Walt waxes philosophically about the myriad of colors they see in the leaves and grass, and the grandness of the outdoors.
