I also hate this cartoon. Edgar Allan Poe, famous hater of subtle symbolism.
He wrote The Raven because he was mad at Dickens for putting a talking raven in a book just because he (Dickens) thought it was neat.
Poe wanted the raven to mean something to the story!

I try not to be hyperbolic but this is the single worst comic I have ever seen in my entire life.

MPD is already trying to lie about what happened. City of Minneapolis official account also reposted them. As long as Frey is Mayor we will have a police department ready to assist ICE and then try to lie about it. Look at the thread to see what MPD’s cooperation and assistance led to today.

Literally everyone deserves to go out for dinner, buy coffees, wear quality clothing and have fun experiences whilst also being able to afford rent, groceries, bills & have a little left over for savings no matter what job they do. Why is that so absurd to some people?

Anti-trans policies don't just hurt trans people. They hurt anyone who doesn't fit neatly into a pink box or a blue one. And they hurt the rest of us by creating pressure to ensure that we always fit neatly into our box.

Holy shit. Republican Harriet Hagemen got torn apart at a town hall in Wyoming last night. In a state that voted for Trump by 46 points.
She tried defending DOGE and it went as well as you’d imagine.
“Deport Elon, Deport Elon!”
Watch to the end…

Recommended this a friend recently. They texted this morning to tell me that they made their first-ever call to reps using this app. If you've been scared to call, this can help. If you know people who are scared to call, suggest this.
It's never to late to start and we're gonna need all of us.

Okay, I cannot recommend 5calls.org enough. Enter your address and it will find all your reps (federal and state). AND give you a list of issues to call about AND which reps to call about each of them AND a little script for each, in case it's helpful. They have an app, too.
5 Calls
Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

No, they weren’t hoodwinked, bamboozled or led astray.

1. Lincoln and Washington are — as far as I know — the only two presidents to have been sculpted topless. (But please send others if they exist!)
