No Kings in Ferndale Michigan. Thousands present, and a constant stream of supportive motorists passing through. No terrorists, no one was paid to be there, nothing about Hamas. Just Americans peacefully supporting our country.

Remember this moment. Trump is reveling in the narcisisstic and sadistic thrill of threatening others with violent death. He will start to crave that feeling.

“Stop the Steal” supporter, Ed Martin, was in the mob outside of the Capitol on 1/6.

If he doesn’t like your point of view, he threatens to investigate you.

He praises white supremacists who support neo-Nazi ideologies.

Tell your Senator to vote NO on Ed Martin’s nomination for US Attorney in DC.

This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.

Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

Now that Wall Street correctly believes, in light of his tariffs, that Trump is insane, is it really going to look with favor upon the law firms that shamelessly caved to him?

The ABA and more than 60 other bar associations join to “reject the notion that the U.S. government can punish lawyers and law firms who represent certain clients or punish judges who rule certain ways.”

T’wasn’t a flask of Old Crow, so t’wasn’t Hegseth’s kin.
In 1862, a Union soldier found cigars wrapped in a piece of paper in a field of clover. The paper was a copy of Confederate Gen. Lee's invasion orders. The Southern sloppiness helped the Union stop Lee at Antietam.
It's unknown who lost the orders in the field, or if he was related to Pete Hegseth.

The government says that if it simply calls you an “alien enemy” it can snatch you off the street and send you away - and no one can question it. So what if you’re not what they say. Or if you’re an American citizen. No court can get any information, much less protect you. So you disappear.

I don’t see how, unless our entire profession stands shoulder-to-shoulder in unity, we successfully push back against this effort to break our profession and our democracy.

Cowering & compromising won’t work. He is attacking us for the success of our work.

Today the administration abruptly stopped Agriculture Department food deliveries to food banks -- food that had already been promised. Last week they cut off $1 billion in funding for food banks and schools to buy food from local farmers.

Apparently it is waste and fraud to feed hungry children.

in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.
Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story.

Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver.

This is what "merit" means to them.

Does anyone have a contact for Ann ? Would love to discuss with her the possibility of partnering with her to publish her cartoons exclusively on @bluesky
Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.
