oligarchy (noun)
1: government by the few
2: a government in which a small group exercises control especially for corrupt and selfish purposes
To sum it up, if you weren't one of the few billionaires at the inauguration, this oligarchy will not benefit you. Just them

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.

Just had this happen to me. My doctor noted a high blood pressure reading and asked if I'm stressed. I just laughed.

Good thing Trump’s new HHS Secretary RFK Jr is an advocate for raw milk. That pasteurization stuff that saved hundreds of thousands of kids from bovine tuberculosis and other diseases is all deep state nonsense. 🙄

Jeffrey Martin was the perfect artist to combat my post-election desire to scream and break things. He played a beautiful set in a Fort Collins barn on 11/6.
One highlight: "Thief and a Liar," which he said he wrote in 2010 but "it feels more relevant now." The lyrics might call someone to mind.
