Retired granddad, love to laugh, not here for arguing over politics. Love NHRA, and Hydroplane racing.

Trump’s moving inauguration inside because it’s too cold for the big baby. Also, he didn’t want the visuals of another small crowd. Pathetic.

I’m really delighted to be one of the contributors to the pro-democracy new media group, The Contrarian. More news about this coming later today!
The Contrarian masthead already the strongest pro-democracy group in the country, probably stronger than all of legacy media combined. Check it out (and it’s already growing beyond this):

Beyoncé is donating $2.5 million to the wildfire relief efforts in California with her BeyGood foundation.

More than Elon Musk and Donald Trump combined...

Which is easy since they haven't donated any money.

It is nice to see this rare moment of bipartisanship today in honor of fmr President Jimmy Carter's remarkable life—a statesman, humanitarian, and the epitome of selfless service.

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.

It’s Sunday, so let’s share the good word:

If churches want to play politics, they can pay taxes like the rest of us. God doesn’t need a tax break, but millionaire pastors sure seem to love one.

Leave it to the business reporters to understand exactly what is going on. Framed perfectly.

“As an editorial cartoonist, my job is to hold powerful people and institutions accountable. For the first time, my editor prevented me from doing that job. So I have decided to leave the Washington Post”

If this cartoon is available, @democracydocket.com would like to publish it on its site.

If not, I hope @anntelnaes.bsky.social would be willing to create another one for Democracy Docket to publish. anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

Bravo, @anntelnaes.bsky.social.

I guess the new slogan for the Washington Post ought to be:

“Newspapers die in cowardice.”

Ann Telnaes, a Washington Post editorial cartoonist who has been with the newspaper for sixteen years, just quit her job after the cartoon below—which depicts Post owner Jeff Bezos and other CEOs bowing to Donald Trump—was spiked.

It's another huge blow to the credibility of a once-great newspaper.

Jamie Raskin has endured losing a child and beat cancer all while fighting for the protection of all Americans. He defines what a hero is.
