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.

My prescription for building a new opposition:
1. Prioritize effective campaigns to elect Democrats.
2. Be a big tent of new policy ideas.
3. Build new institutions.
4. Embrace new communication methods and messengers.
5. Use every legal tool available.
