This Black-capped Chickadee is finally done. It's a seven-layer reduction linocut that I've been slowly printing for months. He's calling out that we all best be alert because something is going on.

This has always been the GOP's strategy:

1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.

2) Explode the deficit.

3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.

4) Repeat.

They're trying to get away with it again.

Ambassador Spock modeling the proper “fuck you, make me” response to intimidation tactics. Our current-day institutions could learn a lot from him.

Among the other constitutional problems, we need to talk about whether imprisonment without trial at a forced labor camp violates the 13th Amendment.
Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process.

This is not lawful.

I have seen a lot of depraved things during my time covering politics, but the president of the United States sharing an AI video depicting his plans to turn the site of a genocide into a more garish version of Atlantic City, is up near the top of the list.

Musk's claim that just 10% of US aid reaches recipients is absurd. @cgdev lays out the facts:
- US gov costs are just 10%
- Rest reaches recipients mostly thru US corps/nonprofits + multilateral agencies
- ~10% goes thru foreign organizations

No, 90 Percent of Aid Is Not Skimmed Off Before Reaching Target Communities
A viral claim, spread and amplified by Elon Musk, suggests that only 10 percent of USAID money reaches its intended beneficiaries. This is a wildly incorrect and misleading interpretation of a differe...

With the help of 6 young men ages 19-22, Elon Musk hacked into both the national security and federal payment computer systems this weekend. Musk has all of our financial information.

Call your representatives in Congress and demand action.

I love this so much!

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.

This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

Stay strong. For us, this is more than just a job-it’s a calling. Together, we will stand to protect our parks, environment, and wildlife. Four years… we remain hopeful that the attack on our public lands will be less brutal this time.
