🇺🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ Amateur cartoonist, political wonk. Asking you & your neighbors not to obey in advance.
Keep in mind that this is the same administration that blocked wind/solar projects from being pursued on federal lands. This isn’t about “pursuing reliable energy”, it’s about the President’s petty grievances with Liberals and with renewable energy sources.

Enforcers of immigration law should be held to a higher standard than criminals; to equate the two is a laughable oversimplification of California’s grievances with ICE agents.

Nobody should be assassinated for expressing a political opinion, no matter if you agree or disagree with it, so long as that opinion doesn’t express fullblown intolerance. That said, never forget Charlie Kirk believed victims of mass shootings were “worth the cost” to protect the 2nd Amendment.

I meant to finish this cartoon around early to mid-April, but in the wake of Trump's One Big Bullsh*t Bill, this feels nonetheless timely. Remember when the GOP was touting themselves as the party to close the deficit?

The current POS-POTUS has made his contempt for public media clear this morning by officially defunding PBS and NPR- as a subscriber to both since childhood, I can’t speak highly enough of their reporting & I encourage all of you to donate to keep their doors open.

I was a part of this! Great to hear that Utah’s HB267 is put on hold ‘til 2026; let’s not forget that Unions work for the good of EVERYONE in their field. Employers can claim to do what’s best for their workers, but unions make sure they hold true to that.

On April 19th, we need your help! Food drive for those in need, if everyone attending the protest brought 1 or 2 cans that would have a HUGE impact!!✨ A protest is great, but it's even better when it's making our community stronger! 💪💪

It's an embarrassment to our country's social justice, that the GOP will do more to crack down on pro-Palestinian protestors that they'll do to crack down on white supremacist groups.

Dictators of all stripes hate solidarity. They’d prefer that we cower alone. They want us to feel powerless. This is why I encourage you to participate in the peaceful demonstrations planned for today across America.

Seen some of your responses but the pattern I'm talking about is an overall silencing of dissent and criticism of Trump & his administration. Today legal immigrants, tomorrow naturalized citizens, after that every U.S. citizen will be under threat for exercising their 1st Amendment rights.

Seeing lots of accounts referring to this as “possibly illegal” and “of questionable legality.” This is straight-up illegal and punishable by two years in prison.
