In the Netherlands, acceptance of LGBTQ+ people has dropped sharply among Dutch youth. This is part of a worldwide trend where LGBTQ+ rights are increasingly under pressure. This cartoon was published in Dutch newspaper @trouw.nl on September 25.

Cartoon showing people on the ground on all fours, using their mouths to rip a rainbow flag to shreds. Meanwhile, one person is hiding in a closet, afraid to come out.

The image of deceased writer Maya Angelou is now an advertising puppet for a theft-based product: This will be played off as "a regrettable error in judgment," instead of what it actually is--a vivid and accurate representation of all that is wrong with AI, from theft to obliteration of consent.

“Minneapolis Public Schools enrolls about 30,000 students but has buildings capable of serving roughly 43,000. More than half of its 56 schools operate below 70% capacity. Since school funding is doled out per student, under-enrolled schools often struggle to afford electives and interventions…”

Anti-DSA fundraising text from John Fetterman: “Sadly I'm pretty much alone on this side of the aisle.” The implication is that he might be much less alone on the other side where grass is greener. Anyway, there are plenty on “this side of the aisle” that are giving oxygen to disdain for the DSA.

But most of all, I think this is what happens when you clash with the Socialist movement "DSA!" that is hijacking the Democratic party.

They want to...

Abolish our borders

Abolish the Electoral College

Abolish Israel

Abolish the Senate

The bad news is the "DSA!" crazies have gone from the political fringe to controlling one of America's major political parties-and onto ballots across the country.

The good news is the hardworking, common- sense Pennsylvanians I talk to every day still aren't buying it.

I mean, a recent Rasmussen poll kind of proves it:

71% of Americans reject socialism

67% of Democrat voters reject socialism

While 82% of Republican voters reject socialism.

But here's the thing. The loudest voice in the room is often the one that looks the most powerful.

And I've got to say, the "DSA!" voices in Washington are loud and getting louder. The media is their megaphone.

Which is why you may be under the false impression that people really do want the "DSA!" and their extreme policies.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

I'm standing up to them.

But sadly I'm pretty much alone on this side of the aisle.

So, can I ask you a favor?

Whatever your party affiliation is, can I ask you to stand with me against the daily barrage of hit-pieces?

If you can donate just $25, it would be a big help to me.

But it will also send a message. It will show the truth that the "real numbers" are on our side here in Pennsylvania, as well as around the rest of America.

You know, I recently stood in front of the iconic U.S. Steel Mill and recorded a video talking about how my friend Dave McCormick and I banded together with President Trump to save this facility and the larger steel industry. But I'm not backing down.

Even though I know the media... the "DSA!"... and the party bosses... are going to try even harder to defeat me:

"Fetterman Draws Shadow Primary From Democrats Eager to Replace Him: The Pennsylvania senator has long irked members of his own party" ~ Bloomberg

If you'll stand with me today, I know we can show them that we're not backing down and that the real numbers are on the side of common sense and putting hardworking Pennsylvanians first.

Back in November 2024, @gregsargent.bsky.social wrote that we were about to endure, under Trump 2.0, “an extraordinary spree of unrestrained malfeasance.” Sen. Ron Wyden spoke of a four-year “smash and grab.” And those stark assessments still don’t begin to describe the current level of corruption.

Trump campaigned expressly on a platform of authoritarian rule, but this also applies to corruption: He didn't disguise his promises to govern in the direct interests of some of the wealthiest executives and investors in the country-and he won anyway. Trump and his allies will likely interpret this as a green light to engage in an extraordinary spree of unrestrained malfeasance.
There are several reasons to fear this could amount to a level of oligarchic corruption that outdoes anything Trump did in his first term. In short, conditions are ripe for right-wing elites to try to loot the place from top to bottom.

An aerial view of a somewhat large group of children watching a cartoon projected on a fabric screen in the Gaza city tent camp. The viewing area is a small clearing in the midst of a large spread-out area of makeshift tents surrounded, in the distance, by remnants of burned out and collapsed buildings.

A view of perhaps 40 or 50 children facing the photographer's camera as they view the action on a movie screen, with the light from the projection reflected on some of their faces.

A close-up view of a small group of very young children, sitting rapt as they stare at the cartoons on the screen in front of them.
