I’m sorry to share that my husband, Steve Benson, died yesterday. He had a stroke in February 2024, from which he never recovered. I’ll be forever grateful for the wonderful 24/7 care he received from M&K Assisted Living in Gilbert AZ and from the medical team at Anthem Hospice.

When your faithful tripawd, toothless, FIV, diabetic cat gazes up at you with complete trust. What an honour it is. Be still my heart 💙🐈‍⬛

Cartoon from Steve Benson, March 2019, drawn for the Freedom from Religion Foundation. @ffrf.org

100 DAYS...of lying, grifting, lawbreaking, division, incompetence, ignorance, illegal deportations, self-aggrandizement, vulgarity, self-pity, cruelty, ignoring the Supreme Court & due process while attacking: the Media, Universities, Law Firms, the Courts & Journalists. 1362 Days to go...

Love♥️

Amazing cartoon 🇺🇦

@rmckee.bsky.social is an amazing editorial cartoonist, I recommend following him

Tragically so true. Still can believe he was permitted to run, let alone win.

Brilliant drawing from John Cuneo @jcuneo.bsky.social

Exactly

💯

We can feed 10,850 elderly (Meals On Wheels) for a YEAR at a cost of $3 million, the cost of one golf trip for a soul-less Felon.

Just in case anyone is interested in my opinion (I realise they’re not) my vote for the next James Bond is Jack Bannon 🇬🇧 I recommend watching him in Pennyworth, Alfred’s origin story, especially if you’re a Batman fan. #JamesBond #007 #BondJamesBond #BondMovies #JackBannon

One of the best photos I have seen in response to “why don’t you wear a suit”

These were seen in London. London fucking ROCKS!💪

I recently said I shall try to do better. Which goes against one of my basic beliefs, which is: “Do. Or do not. There is no try” To Yoda, my thanks. The thing is, I unintentionally f***ed up that time and I might again. I’m grateful for people who call me out when I’m being an idiot.

Every sodding day 🤦🏻‍♀️

@carollovescookies.bsky.social Thank you for taking time to comment on my previous post about Canada. You were right, I apologise, I have removed it. I shall try to do better.

Brilliant cartoon from Ed Wexler

Amen brother, amen

After the first line I really thought I was going to get it on the second attempt! Oh well, could have been worse I suppose 🤣 Wordle 1,358 5/6 🟨🟨⬜🟨🟨 🟨🟩🟨🟩⬜ 🟨🟩🟩🟩⬜ ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Trump's in full retreat today as his poll numbers slip: He convened the cabinet to limit Elon after voters pressured Congress. He delayed the tariffs b/c the market dropped out & created fears of a recession. He's losing in court b/c DOGE didn't follow the law. Keep fighting.

Felt like a gut punch to hear this. I still feel winded.

Alina Habbard posted: NOTHING CAN STOP THIS MAN FROM FIGHTING FOR HIS COUNTRY. David Simon had a succinct 2-word response: “Bone spurs.”

If Russia wants peace, they should end the invasion.

Cartoon from Steve Benson, January 2017.

I’ll never forget seeing my husband Steve Benson stand in front of the TV, with his hand proudly on his chest, crying buckets whilst Kamala Harris was sworn in as VP. And Steve is especially proud that his first cartoon after the 2016 election was calling for Trump’s impeachment. 🇺🇸

I’d forgotten about this cartoon despite it being one of my favourites that my husband created. If he were well enough, he’d be drawing non-stop these days. Thank you for sharing this @afrakroon.bsky.social

Justin Trudeau, today: “In London, I announced new sanctions against key Kremlin allies — paramilitary organizations, their leaders, and others — who are complicit in helping Russia wage war in Ukraine. We won’t allow Russia’s enablers to prolong this illegal invasion.”

See, the thing is, Zelensky refused to tug his forelock to Trump. Or to grovel.

A summit in London bringing together around fifteen leaders of countries allied to kyiv opened in the presence of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, two days after his heated argument with US President Donald Trump.

Sunday’s front pages in the UK. “We’ve got your back” Leadership.

HERO vs ZERO I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore. #SlavaUkraini🇺🇦 #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist. He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.
