Police forces are not cash-strapped. They are flush with cash. They receive all kinds of federal grants to militarize. Moreover, they shouldn't have drones to surveil the public.

Just a reminder that when Dems turn against trans people for power, it's also a reminder that they'll do other things for power that you might not like too, such as supporting billionaires.

Something remarkable is happening: James Talarico is running an expansively pro-immigrant campaign in Texas, a state Trump won by 14 points, speaking in Biblical terms about our duty to "the stranger." And it's resonating. That's seismic. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2160...

In Texas, Something Seismic Is Happening—and It’s All Trump’s Fault

Thanks to the economy and ICE, Trump has lost Texas Latinos. And James Talarico is developing a humane pro-immigrant message that’s resonating—even in this ultra-Trumpy state.

This is a lie, and it's a lie they've been telling since the 1950s. They push the story that technology will give the white-collar populace 4 or even 3-day work weeks, but that never materializes. 5-day work weeks with exponentially greater output expectations does.

Every terrible economic consequence of failed communist states happens a lot faster in nostalgia-based, militarized hyper nationalist regimes. Shortages, rationing, food lines, inflation, etc. Just doesn't as much press when you're also getting your ass handed to you in a war you started for memes.

When's the last time a Trump rally was interrupted by protesters this many times? And for it to happen in red Texas right before an election, no less. I wonder if fed up Americans will take this as a challenge to similarly interrupt the rest of his rallies over the next month.

Panel 3, as he shows the camera is Cloaca:

In 1984, after I graduated college, we moved to West Palm Beach, FL. For jobs. Shitty job, boring town. I was a political cartoonists, but Iworked in a windowless tomb of an art department, with 4 other artists. One of them was a born-again zealot. He listened to religious radio all... day... long.

No headphones! No doubt in the hope the Word of God would reach heathens like me. I should've gone straight to HR and roasted the guy's ass, but I was only 22 and had never been in this situation before. His favorite was the PTL Club, Jim & Tammy Faye's radio show.

I bought a Walkman and tried to drown it out. There was no radio reception in the basement, so I made mix tapes, which I quickly tired of after 8 hours a day. Zealot turned up the volume on the radio so I'd here Bakker murmuring over the Talking Heads and Robyn Hitchcock. It was awful..

Finally, Jim Bakker drove me out of the art dept. One day after work, I dragged my board further into the basement, to a corner of a storage area. Surrounded by printer supplies, next to a stat camera, with only the palmetto bugs to disturb me. What a relief. The zealot never talked to me again.

The Bakkers also leaned into rightwing politics, like fellow zealot creeps Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson. All of them loathed each other, it turns out, but they did immeasurable harm. Bakker was also embezzling millions & evading taxes.

The Bakkers were early proponents of "prosperity gospel." Living in luxury is God's blessing, while poverty is God's punishment. So shaking down destitute grannies is God's will. The rubes fell for it, and the Bakkers empire grew to obscene levels.

Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Sorry, I'll be too busy slamming my hand in a car door that day to talk with Tim. Hope you understand.
