This cartoon is indicative of a larger media problem. Why doesn’t it say
“Rapist”
“Conman”
“Thief”
“Liar”
Instead, it obeys in advance by using legally safe wording.

Luntz is an ass, but I get it.
When I disagreed with the Harris campaign, I was called a racist.
When I said the stock market rising means nothing to me, I was called racist.
I understand why a bunch of white Dems stayed home.
“Absolutely agree with me or you’re a racist” is exhausting.

If you don't want to be accused of racism, don't vote for a fucking racist, this isn't exactly rocket science my dudes

I appear on @CNN often. And if saying this means my days at CNN are over, then fuck it. CNN, removing @Acosta.bsky.social from his am show is cowardly bullshit. Acosta is an independent, unafraid host. To demote him to appease the crybaby in the White House is pathetic. Shame on u CNN. Don’t do it.

This is my senator sending a sternly worded letter for more people to not watch C SPAN.
Mango face has revealed Dems as useless and undeserving of our contributions and votes.

In other news, yesterday I called on the four biggest streaming providers to carry C-SPAN. It's increasingly hard to find non-partisan, independent coverage about what's going on in government, and making C-SPAN easier to access for everyone is a good place to start.

This is such a crucial point. Democrats are eschewing picking fights with Trump in favor of carefully focus-grouped messages. The implicit assumption is that those messages will reach people. They won't, because they're inauthentic and boring.
They’re so convinced that the eyes of the world are on them and they’ll win if they just manage to put on the perfect bipartisan reasonable politician performance. They don’t understand that the fundamental issue is NO ONE IS PAYING ATTENTION TO THEM, because THEY’RE BORING AND AVOID CONFLICT

This is not uncomfortable - it’s easy self care. I go one step further; if your comment or repost causes his face to appear in my feed, I unfollow/mute/block your account.
My feed is so much better now.

I know this is uncomfortable, but I need to share.
Stop sharing photos/memes, of the latest Trump BS. Let his comments die on the vine.
Spreading his speech here, no matter how good your intentions are, makes you his megaphone.
The result is that you've normalized him as much as legacy media has.

Biden should declassify all of the intelligence that has been gathered in Trump over the years. Put everything out there for all to see. Every report, every investigation, all of it!

Treated myself to Mongolian Grill at the strip mall and ran into maybe the coolest guy on the planet.
I laughed out loud, “A Millions of Dead Cops T-shirt?”
He smiled back and laughed, “no habla ingles”
