Tuesday Cartoons: Turkey Out Dammit

Well, we have finally come to Thanksgiving week. What a fucking year this has been…

So we lost an icon yesterday:

Oh, man. One of cinema's most reliable weirdos, and I mean that in a highly complimentary fashion. RIP.variety.com/2025/film/ne…

We also lost someone else:

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

Now the cartoons via Cagle:

Sen. Mark Kelly: "I think it's important for people to know that they need to be able to stand up and speak out… I don't think there's anything more patriotic than standing up for the Constitution. And right here, right now, this week the president is clearly not doing that."

Mark Kelly: "I said something that was pretty simple and non-controversial, and that was that members of the military should follow the law. In response to that, Trump said I should be executed, I should be hanged … it says a lot more about him than it says about me. I'm not going to be silenced."

Be safe and take care.

    Yeah, both of those jersk are here. Got my Bag of whistles so I’ll be walking Temple from bar to bar.

    Lord this is stressful. I can’t remember the last time I was this wound up. And now we think some guy is checking the hood at while the bars are open.

    He just wanders up and down the streets and then sits outside the bar for a while then moves on. Bar tender saw him and pointed him out to me. I watched him go from his seat about 15 feet away walk up to the next bar and then head to the BBQ place. My bar tender friend then saw him coming back the other direction on the street behind me going towards another bar. They said he’d been around doing this for quite a while. Just heard another bartender had reported him to the sightings site. I’m trying to do this now.

    Feel very Bondish while talking about this stuff to Miss Moneypenny and M.

    Trump EPA to abandon air pollution rule that would prevent thousands of U.S. deaths

    The Environmental Protection Agency will no longer defend Biden-era limits on fine-particle pollution, which causes heart and lung disease.

    The Environmental Protection Agency is abandoning a rule that would strengthen limits on fine-particle pollution, a move scientists and experts say could lead to dirtier air and more U.S. deaths.

    On Monday night, the agency moved to vacate defense of the rule, which the Biden administration finalized last year, arguing that the previous administration did not have the authority to tighten it. That regulation imposed stricter standards on fine particulate matter measuring less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter, including soot, which ranks as the nation’s deadliest air pollutant.

    The agency argued in the U.S. District Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuitthat the Biden-era rule was done “without the rigorous, stepwise process that Congress required,” according to the court filing. “EPA now confesses error and urges this Court to vacate the Rule before the area designation deadline of February 7, 2026.”

    What unlawful orders have been given so far? Rep Raskin says: Deployment of troops in LA & DC; destruction of boats on the high seas w/out a declaration of war from Congress; lack of due process are all examples of unlawful orders. Keep your oath to uphold the Constitution, US troops.

    Murrill issues warning over New Orleans “sanctuary city” policies

    Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill is threatening Louisiana residents and public officials alike with criminal charges if they interfere with federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol agents when they begin their operations in the state next week. That email seemingly targets New Orleans officials, whom Murrill has previously accused of turning New Orleans into a “sanctuary city.”

    https://player.amperwavepodcasting.com/?&feed-link=https%3A%2F%2Frss.amperwave.net%2Fv2%2Fepisode%2F7826373_2025-11-21-194313&withPlaylist=false&theme=dark&playerDisplay-logoType=Audacy

    Border Patrol and ICE are expected to begin their immigration crackdown next Monday.

    In an email, Murrill warned that impeding those agents could lead to state officials pressing obstruction of justice and/or malfeasance in office charges.

    “Be Advised: It is against Louisiana law to obstruct ICE or Border Patrol,” Murrill wrote in that email. “The penalty for Obstruction of Justice or Malfeasance in Office may include imprisonment with hard labor and thousands of dollars in fines.”

    Murrill then cites the law detailing what constitutes obstruction of justice, which state that anyone who “knowingly (commits) any act intended to hinder, delay, prevent, or otherwise interfere with or thwart federal immigration enforcement efforts” is in violation of the law.

    Murrill also quotes the law detailing malfeasance in office. Under that law, any public official who “knowingly releases a person, following arrest or booking, from state, parish, or local law enforcement custody without providing advance notice to United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement that the law enforcement agency effecting release is aware that the person either illegally entered or unlawfully remained in the United States,” could face charges. In addition, the law prohibits public officials from “(taking) any official action, (failing) to perform an official duty, or (refusing) a lawful request for cooperation submitted by either United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement, United States Customs and Border Protection, or United States Citizenship and Immigration Services with the intent to hinder, delay, prevent, or otherwise interfere, ignore, or thwart federal immigration enforcement efforts”).

    Murrill also quoted Louisiana’s law against so-called sanctuary cities, which prohibits “a state entity, law enforcement agency, or local governmental entity” from adopting a “sanctuary policy.”

    In February, Murrill filed a motion in federal court that sought to force the Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office to enforce ICE criminal warrants and immigration detainers and to investigate the immigration status of inmates in the Orleans Parish Jail. Sheriff’s office officials say the federal consent decree governing the agency bans ICE agents from interviewing OPSO inmates without a court order and from accepting ICE criminal warrants.

    Also in February, Orleans Parish District Attorney Jason Williams told CBS News that the parish “only cooperates with ICE in cases of undocumented immigrants accused of violent crimes.”
