Just read about the forthcoming gold Trump sculpture and thought of this piece I created for GQ back in the spring of 2016, before he was even elected, speculating on what a Trump White House might look like. It’s amazing how predictable he is.

My hair has progressed into 1977 Barry Gibb territory you can tell by the way I use my walk

we’re not here to be better THAN other people we’re here to be better TO other people

Dem leadership: changing this is a difficult process, you fool. You rube. You utter infant. Give us between $5 and $50 Mamdani, wiping grease off his hands: So it turns out there's a switch on this machine that puts it into either orphan-shredding mode or free school lunch mode. Just had to flip it

Social movement scholar here. Earlier activists had petty beefs but those were wildly exploited by the FBI's COINTELPRO programs, particularly in the case of the Black Power movement. 1/

Nice, this will save them all the inconvenience of using their own phones to record themselves insulting the people they execute in the streets.

When I was 14 and I said "recently" that meant within the last week. At 64 it means anytime since 1989.

Not to get political, but America is very pretty and has a lot of nice folks making cool things, and I think if we had a president who wasn’t actively trying to murder us, we could have a pretty good time

Get excited, cinephiles! Today's the day "Melania" opens. While you're waiting in the long line for your tickets, you can read the REAL story of our First Lady and her brave crusade against cyberbullying as I reported for The New Yorker. Be Best! @newyorker.com

My latest for today's Boston Globe. Your tax dollars at work. @globeopinion.bsky.social

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

If you are out pointing cameras at your armed oppressors, you are the best kind of courageous. If you are out pointing guns at nurses, mothers, and ordinary people, you are the worst kind of coward.

ICE is detaining U.S. citizens without due process, officers are making arrests in unmarked cars and masks, and kids are terrified to go to school. I’m still a hell no on the budget that includes DHS funding.

For fucks sake, they're not even supposed to kill murderers in the street, they're supposed to arrest them and put them through a trial. Because we have a Constitution that was written with the intention of preventing exactly what is happening right now.

One of the hardest things to do is bring campaign-level communications to the work of governance, and snowstorms are notoriously one of the biggest litmus tests that less-engaged voters use to judge mayoral administrations. This is an excellent way to communicate.

1/ Another pressure point outside of a general strike is the public and private shunning of anyone who still supports this administration. I made a clear "MAGA not welcome here" policy long ago, and that has included family members. They need to feel societal pressure. They need to be shamed.

🙄👇

What's making me really livid right now is thinking back to the years of commentary lecturing us that the rise of MAGA was rooted in a sense of righteous victimization by overbearing liberal elites, and sneering at those who insisted that it was fundamentally about domination and sadism all along.

This is the way. Any 2028 Dem candidates need to start saying that on Day One: (1) all ICE agents fired; (2) pensions/benefits defunded; (3) forced to pay backpay as restitution to victims; and (4) only way to avoid prison is to become a cooperating informant

Every Democratic member of Congress should be on a plane to Minneapolis right now to join the people protesting in the streets. Federal elected officials should physically place themselves between the public and these dangerous thugs sent to terrorize this American city.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Donald Trump is complicit of course. But so is every single Republican in the House and Senate who voted for a massive increase in ICE funding in their Big Ugly Bill and refused to do any oversight. Trump is doing what he can get away with and you can smell their cowardice from a mile away.

Abolish ICE. Fire them all. Prosecute *every single abuse*.

Every Democrat not calling publicly for impeachment is endorsing this. Accept no excuses.

Nuremberg trials for ICE is the moderate position

Since we first launched in 2017, we have not minced words or equivocated in our opposition to the reactionary authoritarian project. That opposition is needed more than ever. Support us as we continue that work and publish visions of a truly liberal democratic future.

I genuinely think boycotting the World Cup is some of the strongest leverage the Europeans have.

Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

MUPPETS!!!!!

It's STFU Friday. Refresh the script 👇

The American Revolution was precipitated, in part, by outrage over warrantless searches.

It's -20 in Minneapolis and organizers are in the streets before dawn getting ready for actions related to the general strike. They've had locals training out-of-town volunteers on how to prepare for and endure the cold. AND IT IS WORKING. THE STRIKE IS HAPPENING. THE CITY IS DOING THE DAMN THING...

Hey if you have a problem with the White House sharing A.I. generated photos of their political enemies great reminder to not also do that

Sure but also there’s just no way Fred Rogers would be a Republican today

I once shot a man for criticizing my text alignment. It was justified.

Tomorrow’s front page of the Minnesota Star Tribune: Jan. 23, 2026

Just when you've never been more embarrassed to be American, it's the next day.

ICE should be dismantled immediately.  I will not support funding for the Department of Homeland Security when ICE and Border Patrol agents are assaulting protestors, detaining and arresting people with impunity, inciting violence, and shooting and killing American citizens.  Read my statement:

Dear rest of the world. I'm so, so, sorry.

I feel bad for all of us who have to be good at our jobs when the answer is to be sufficiently white, rich and powerful and then you can just drool on yourself and the press will be like “audiences intrigued by his unusual communication style”

Mafia goon: Nice house you got here...it'd be a shame if something happened to it Media outlets: Mafia goon rules out use of force. Expresses regret at the mere thought of it

if I lose every single one of my followers I will die on the fucking hill of making people understand that this is the consequence of Republicans winning in 2024: they get to make the laws and policies that govern our nation, and there is not a whole lot that the minority party can do to stop them.

I was honored that my cartoon from a year ago was included in Politico's 2025 retrospective, but sad that it was so prescient.

The only way to deal with a malignant narcissist is to take everything away from him. Trump must be removed from office. This is the only thing that matters right now. Obviously Democrats in office are not going to do it unless we force them to. Ignore/Isolate the people who won’t criticize Ds.

Good morning. What a deeply embarrassing day to be a US citizen, on so many levels.

Note, whatever number this is, it is the basis for Stephen Miller's demanded deportation, divided by day, & the source of his 3,000/day target (which ICE has never met), which is what leads ICE to snatch random brown people from the streets rather than spending the time to find the actual criminals.

Makes me feel insane to live in a world that's persecuting trans folk while simultaneously doing big billboards advertising gender affirming care to cis people???

local leaders have been doing their jobs and it is time for more national figures to do the same
