My Dad felt a responsibility to be an informed citizen and vote. One time in my youth during a political conversation I said, “I don’t care.” My Father looking shocked replied, “You don’t care?" I try to make up for that time when I disappointed him.
I love these guys. They belong in the Bird Hall of Fame along with the shoebill stork.

This seemed right late last night, but now I am second guessing it. Maybe qualify No. 2 and No. 3 (Make them pay their freakin' taxes!)? No easy answer... I have mixed feelings about Bill Kristol although he has stepped up his game in the Trump chaos.

Satire is a course correction when violence threatens. ICE agents wear "costumes" geared toward weapons and brute force.
The Trump administrations Achilles heel? They have no sense of humor.

"In a derelict shed in my garden, using soot from the chimney, I stippled the cracking walls to simulate the patina of age and create a tableau observed in the half-light of a grimy window."

That's my stash for now. But every day brings more opportunities for memes. I suspect that is a good thing when protesting in real time gets more dangerous.

Ah, King Ketamine, you mean like wasteful spending on all the "no-bid" deals you cut with the U.S. government? The wasteful spending on hiring Doge baby-tech creeps to tear apart government programs and sell Americans' private data?

And to put salt in the wound... the Oval Office looks like Trump's trashy closet! This is the desecration of an important, historic American office!
