new york city is Real America. los angeles is Real America. chicago is Real America. minneapolis is Real America. seattle, portland, detroit etc etc. sick of this framing that it's otherwise. shut the fuck up

oh wow. you're trying to cancel jamelle bouie. do you feel proud? do you feel brave? is this Praxis?

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

Abolish ICE

This is an "administrative warrant". It's not signed by a judge and is therefore unlawful. ICE agents carry stacks of these around in their cars and just fill them out on the fly. Make sure everyone knows what this looks like, as they have already started going door-to-door in some neighborhoods.

Agents like this should be identified and their name and picture posted on a searchable web site with videos and content like this linked to their names

a friend shared a new patch on facebook

It's important to remember that this is precisely the outcome that Trump's backers were trying to engineer in electing him, not a fuckup or failure.

I was not familiar with your game. Absolutely based.

California has the 4th largest economy in the world. It should join up with Oregon and Washington and create their own union - owning the entire western coast. You need goods that are shipped into western ports? Too fuckin bad.

Protesters making as much noise as possible in front of the Hilton Canopy where ICE agents are staying in Minneapolis.

need more cosmopolitan chauvinism imo. to be able to go to a world city and do this without crossing a border is something you should be proud of, it means you're a great country. To want to tear it down means you are inbred provincial hog with no greater drives than envy and fear.

They can't actually control how the 65% of us who aren't completely braindead on MAGA propaganda react. The Jimmy Kimmel fight and the National Guard fight — both lost by Trump — show that his super-confidence that he can just bellow us into submission is not rooted in reality.

Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

ICE shot and killed a woman on camera today. We all saw the video. The Trump administration is lying.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Trump is insane. His inner circle is insane. They want to burn the world so they can loot everyone else’s wealth, feel like big tough guys, and hurt all the groups they despise. But the thing breaking the whole world is how everyone feels obligated to avoid stating this fact directly.

yeah

If you want to know who took all of your money, it's the people with all of the money. Famously, we know that's people working in child care.

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

“andrew thats a simplification, imagine if we just dismissed everyone who believed the knockout game was real or obama was born in kenya?” yes, imagine

“are you saying we should just ignore the people who think wokeness is the biggest threat to modern civilization? thats a lot of people” yes that is exactly what im saying, they are morons

“but andrew half the country thinks biden stole the election” they are stupid and we can call them stupid and dismiss their opinion

my plan to get this country back on track consists of one bullet point: i propose we stop pretending stupid people arent stupid just because theyre loud and theres a lot of them

It would be 100% morally correct to do the thing right now.

Watch this. Watch again. "This incredible thing last night... We have to do it again [in other countries]. We can do it again, too. Nobody can stop us."

If Xi Jinping invaded Taiwan right now, and toppled the president there, on what grounds would the United States object? Or have any credibility to say anything?

Trump must be impeached immediately. This is not how a democracy functions.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

Right now the US position is literally that Trump cannot be held to account in our own courts but can be unilaterally surrendered by his powerless domestic opposition to be held to account in any other nation that wants to do it, and I say we take him up on it

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Remember how appalled we all were in 2022 when Russia completely unprovoked attacked Ukraine? That is what we’re doing tonight with Venezuela. We are the bad guys here. Everyone who supports this is supporting unprovoked murder. Fuck every last one of them

Im seeing discussions about consultations with congress, authorizations of force etc. I have to say this transcends any of what I would call sub constitutional technicalities. The president has gone to war with a foreign power and, it seems, kidnapped a foreign head of state on the basis of nothing.

A defining moment for Europe. If it endorses/fails to condemn this flagrant breach of international law, it will have surrendered its core justification for opposing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine

Whatever you might think of Maduro, the seizure and kidnapping of a head of state takes us to a very dark place. Vast, arbitrary, extra-legal power, which could be exercised almost anywhere, regardless of the character of the target government.

If American soldiers died capturing Maduro they fucking deserved it.

If only some country bombed Washington DC and went in and captured the US President. Now that’d be pretty cool.

This is making me mad in a way none of the other shit has.

The world must boycott the World Cup and the Olympics. It is both the only moral choice and will actually get the attention of these dead-eyed clout demons.

The thing you absolutely must remember about the Trump admin is that THEY DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH GUYS. They just don't have enough! They don't have enough to do mass deportations, they don't have enough to occupy cities, they certainly don't have enough to suppress regular dissent.

Simple as Everyone in DoD who participated in planning and executing this needs to face charges Yes I know the scope/scale of what I'm saying; either laws mean things or they don't

Three million people live in Caracas, five million in the metro area. It's one of the densest cities in South America. Remember this in the morning when they try to spin this as anything other than a cold-blooded attack on a major civilian center.

Happy New Year!

Here are four of my most popular cartoons on 2025

I want to get a private pilot license but also have severe anxiety about flying commercial. Cruel joke.

These are so bad that at first I didn't understand why they were so bad. I didn't even know what the actual data points were. There were so few they didn't register with me as data points so I just assumed it was an actual meaningful fitted curve.
