After that shit show yesterday, that was the confirmation hearing of RFK Jr., we all need a break.

Catherine Cortez Masto just casually exposing that RFK Jr. has no idea what HHS does or how it works.

"I probably did say that." 🤦

CORTEZ MASTRO: A pregnant woman with a life-threatening bleed goes to the ER and her doctor determines she needs an emergency abortion. She's in a state where abortion is banned. You would agree that federal law protects her right to that emergency care, correctRFK Jr: Uh, I don't know

But then there was this shit:

This plane crash happened late last night…any update will be in the comments.

only appropriate political response here is to demand the white house explain how its actions aren’t responsible http://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-…

It’s far too soon to ascribe responsibility for the horrific DC plane collision, but it’s not too soon to say that dismantling the safeguards afforded by a functioning federal government put us at significant risk. And it’s irrefutable that, since January 20th, we are all less safe.

Was literally talking to the union representing federal air traffic controllers earlier today about how there’s already a major shortage of air traffic controllers and the resignation offers they all just got from OPM could seriously endanger public safety.

What we know so far:• The plane was carrying at least 60 passengers and 4 crew members and departed from Wichita, Kansas.• Reagan National Airport is closed until 5 a.m. Thursday.• The Army helicopter involved in the crash was a UH-60 Black Hawk on a training flight, military officials said.

Tuesday Cartoons: History is telling us something.

Posted: January 28, 2025 | Author: | Filed under: 2025 What Fresh Hell?, just because, Political and Editorial Cartoons | 10 Comments

That could have been written this past weekend, about this country.

History is yelling at us, but it won’t teach us a thing.

If we seek solace in the prisons of the distant past 
Security in human systems we’re told will always always last 
Emotions are the sail and blind faith is the mast 
Without the breath of real freedom we’re getting nowhere fast 

If God is dead and an actor plays his part 
His words of fear will find a place in your heart 
Without the voice of reason every faith is its own curse 
Without freedom from the past things can only get worse 

Sooner or later just like the world first day 
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away 
Sooner or later just like the world first day 
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away 
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away 

History will teach us nothing 
History will teach us nothing 

Our written history is a catalog of crime 
The sordid and the powerful, the architects of time 
The mother of invention, the oppression of the mild 
The constant fear of scarcity, aggression as its child 

Sooner or later 
Sooner or later 
Sooner or later 
Sooner or later 

Convince an enemy, convince him that he’s wrong 
Is to win a bloodless battle where victory is long 
A simple act of faith 
In reason over might 
To blow up his children will only prove him right 
History will teach us nothing 
Sooner or later just like the world first day 
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away 
Sooner or later just like the world first day 
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away 
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away 

History will teach us nothing 
History will teach us nothing 

Know your human rights 
Be what you come here for 
Know your human rights 
Be what you come here for 
Know your human rights 
Be what you come here for 
Know your human rights 
Be what you come here for

That was an intense beginning to a cartoon post. But the truth is, we need to wake the fuck up.

Big news about Trump cutting funding…it’s down a bit in the post. So look for it.

A few other things before the cartoons:

I don’t know what to say about that last bit of news…it is too cruel, but then…that is the point.

Now the cartoons:

Stay safe.

This past week has been one of the hardest I’ve ever had to deal with…

As you can see from the picture above, some of my trumpet family members don’t get it.

I just have cartoons for you today. Via Cagle:

I don’t have the energy for anything else right now.

Stay safe.

Thursday Cartoons: A Trump Dictatorship

Posted: January 23, 2025 | Author: | Filed under: just because, MAGA Political Carnage, morning reads | 5 Comments

The last few days have been very difficult.

This video below is enough to make me vomit:

Here is another one:

I will put up a few things and then add some cartoons. I’m not handling all this “stuff” right now…

…this will help.

Just days after Trump returned to the White House, Instagram is censoring abortion content. This is what Aid Access' account looks like right now – posts about how to get abortion medication has been blurred out.

— Jessica Valenti (@jessicavalenti.bsky.social) 2025-01-22T21:41:44.160Z

Instagram is also making it impossible to find the account. This is what happened when I tried to search for the group – even in my own following list

Josh Marshall from TPM thinks this abortion blackout is another offering by Zuckerberg to Trump.

And here it comes, folks. The real deepstate. A completely incompetent one to replace the fantasy one they made up. We are so fucked.mastodon.social

Tuesday Cartoons: Day One

Posted: January 21, 2025 | Author: | Filed under: cartoons, just because | 3 Comments

Yup.

Here’s some cartoons. Commentary on the first day.

A few more on other topics:

And some observations along the way:

Want to know what executive orders Trump signed yesterday? Don’t want to go to the news media or White House website to read about it? I made a video of what I saw last night:

I’ve tried to think of something to use as a sign off. And I think I’ve found it.

Whatever we had, this democracy that was growing and changing with time is gone. You can use the song as a metaphor for so many other feelings and emotions.

We are struggling.

The Child is Gone.
