People are saying* there's more crime in Mar-A-Lago than there is in "wartorn Portland," most of it Trump randomly "patroling for undocumented workers," in resident apartments, & taking whatever property he takes a fancy to "for safe keeping." *Unverified. Residents too terrified to give testimony.

Lemme get this straight... Trump brags that his tariffs have already netted $17TRILLION in revenue... ... but, when asked about it recently, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt stated the government has received ZERO revenue from tariffs so far... So... /1

Trump's little circle jerk of "Antifa" hysterics today, organized just to reinforce Trump's dream of a fantasy enemy he can accuse anyone of working for, invokes the spirit of France's Committee For Public Safety assuring Robespierre the Illuminati were a serious threat, /1

Reminder: I'll be in El Centro CA on Saturday October 25 for the Imperial Valley Entertainment Convention 2025, centrally located for many in Southern Arizona, Southern Nevada & Southern California. I look forward to seeing many of you there. www.terrestro.com/events

How exactly is an Australian street fight (in pro wrestling) any different from any other kind of street fight (in pro wresting)? Are koalas allowed? Crocodiles, maybe?

How correct is it for the media to continually & now reflexively keep referring to the "war in Gaza"? Are Palestinians fighting back militarily to any significant degree? Is it a war if only one side is doing the fighting?

Instead of calling Hegseth the Secretary of Defense OR (idiotically) the Secretary of War, let's call Hegseth what he's REALLY drooling to be: the Secretary Of State Terrorism... Though Kristi Noem or Stephen Miller could also claim the title. Maybe we should let 'em fight it out in the Octagon...

Finally finished the Superman movie. It was okay. 2nd half was considerably better than the 1st. Kind of amusing the best things in it - Mr Terrific, Metamorpho & esp Krypto - weren't Superman, tho' Corenswet was good enough in the role. Didn't love it, didn't hate it. /1

Probably shouldn't compare Stephen Miller to Himmler. Miller doesn't have anywhere NEAR enough personal charm to be Himmler. And that's without the slightest compliment to Himmler...

The most active terrorist groups in the USA today are ICE & the Trump administration, not necessarily in that order. State terrorism is still terrorism. Plenty of history proves that.

Here’s the link to this upcoming auction on Heritage: tinyurl.com/y3ebnpmp It looks like it’s scheduled to go live around October 9th. This link tinyurl.com/meu5kap8 will take you to the auction home page so you can browse all the art that’s being sold to benefit the Ed Asner Family Center.

Violent thugs are terrorizing Americans and they were sent by the White House.

I can’t get over this. Trump bailed out Argentina farmers with $20 billion of our tax dollars, then China turned around and bought soybeans from them instead of US farmers. Not AMERICA FIRST, America got played.

I assume from the New History Of The DC Universe or whatever it's called that Fate & (early '90s) Manhunter more or less officially never happened now. They did absorb my Challengers Of The Unknown, /1

Let's not call them snowflakes, tho'. They're chickenshits. There seems not to be one thing in this world that doesn't terrify them...

This "flagburning" nonsense, not to mention "wartorn Portland" etc, rather crystalizes there is a fantasy world that only exists deep, deep up Trump's colon, where only he & his mob can see it... that explains why they don't seem to be able to see anything else...

Never mind that the Supreme Court declared flagburning protected speech eons ago now, when was the last time anyone burned an American flag here? Is there an epidemic of this going on that has somehow slipped my notice? /1

Why does Kash Patel always look like he has a remote-controlled vibrator rammed up his butt & was told if he doesn't hold his breath till further notice he won't get any dessert after supper...?

You are a Pedophile! 💥

Nationalize all Golf Courses That way, when government shuts down, so does golf. You'll never see another shutdown again.

i just can’t get over ICE going into the streets of the city i live in, throwing gas at citizens, invading people who live here. this is state sponsored terrorism being enacted on americans

Charlie kirk gets killed by a white man, HBCUs get bomb threats. White man shoots up a white church, people talk negatively about the Black Panthers. People get mad about alleged latin american drug cartels, a predominately Black apartment complex gets raided at 2 am I'm seeing a trend

Threatening to rain down "all HELL... like no one has ever seen" on a group if they don't sign off on a "peace plan" you threw together without even consulting them & which they have no say in is a surefire path to a Nobel Peace Prize if I ever saw one. /1

Mind if I ask the comics pros here a quick favor? I've been keeping a list of comics pros on BlueSky, to make it easier for pros & fans alike to find & follow them. If you're a comics pro, could you give the list (link below) a once-over, & let me know of pros here who aren't on it? /2

I don't know if it's pure coincidence or whay, but TCM sure does shoe 'The Manchurisn Candidate" an awful lot lately...

Huh. Apparently the FDA quietly approved a new abortion drug, & now the Christofascists are furious...

BTW. if you missed it, Trump recently established new criteria for the FBI's Terrorist Watch List. If you STATE VIEWS seen as: "anti-American" "anti-Christian" "anti-capitalist" "gender extremist" or "hostile toward tradition American family values" CONGRATULATIONS! You are now a terrorist!

History has taught us that what "trickle-down" really means in economic terms is: You'll get what little money we decide you should have, when WE decide you should have it, & you'll like it!

Trump keeps proclaiming tariffs have brought in $17trillion so far. Everyone knows that's utter bullshit, & whatever they're bringing in is coming from the pockets of American citizens... But let's assume for a moment it's true. Why is no one asking him where it is? /1

Also, before Trump starts claiming huge props for his anemic new "discount drug dispensary," remember a key controversial part of the GOP's recent "clean bill" was cutting 10-15% of Americans* of from health care & doubling health insurance costs for everyone else - /1

Has no one mentioned that, throughout Amwrican history, government dismantlements is NOT a feature of government shutdowns. Produce the law that authorizes the President or his agents to do that.

If the Pentagon really wants to plug leaks, they need to put Hegseth in a 12-step program...

I'm in it. Mark Verheiden's in it. Howard Chaykin is in it. Garth Ennis is in it. I can't begin to list all the authors who are in it, & all their great indie characters. I can't imagine why you'd ever want to pass it up. Kickstarting now. www.kickstarter.com/projects/pla...

Technically, the Democrats didn't vote for a government shutdown. They voted against an appallingly bad budget measure that basically robbed most American citizens in order to make billionaires even richer - & the other side was who absolutely refused to negotiate. /1

Strong #JournalismIsNotACrime rally today at Foley Square to protest ICE assaults on press and the prosecution of a photojournalist. Thread of photos to follow!

Lemme get this straight... Now the USA is dedicated to the unconditional defense of nations that openly support terrorism - just so Trump can get a Nobel peace prize (& a new resort property)?!!

One can argue the Democrats "shut down the government" by refusing to knuckle under to draconian demands just to keep a government that is now willfully malfunctioning every day running. /1
