Cartoonist Daniel Boris
Cartoon of Senator Eric Schmitt of Missouri holding up a photo of the Hindenburg exploding. The blimp is captioned “Republican Credibility.” This follows Schmitt’s mixup in a hearing on 9/29/26 of the Senate Judiciary Committee. He accused Special Prosecutor Jack Smith of being at an Atlanta Hawks game when actually he attended an Iowa Hawkeyes women’s basketball game on the date in question.

Man in dance pose leaning back in front of John Kennedy quote at the Kennedy Center: “ I look forward to an America which will reward achievement in the arts as we reward achievement in business or statecraft. I look forward to an America which will steadily raise the standards of artistic accomplishment and which will steadily enlarge cultural opportunities for all of our citizens. And I look forward to an America which commands respect throughout the world  not only for its strength but for its civilization as well.”

Ignorance is no longer an excuse. Supporting Trump means you actively choose hatred over truth and bigotry over decency. You aren't misinformed; you are willfully enabling a pedophile. Own it.

Today marks the 81st anniversary of Victory in Europe Day. Yesterday, the President of the United States rode in a motorcade INTO AND THROUGH the reflecting pool which sits adjacent to the World War II Memorial in DC. He wanted to see the new paint job he ordered, and walking was inconvenient.
European landmarks, big letter V with American and British flags and doves ascending, the date May 8, 1945 as anniversary of Victory in Europe Day.

Yeah; Donald by himself is nothing. Just another empty, wretched, malignant narcissist, genuinely dimwitted, now sinking into pants-shitting dementia. But that hundreds of representatives and Senators, all of sworn to protect the Constitution, allow him to be in power, is what breaks my heart.

Charlotte, NC has put up a good fight against ICE. Great support among residents for immigrant neighbors and businesses. Like Cornwallis during the Revolution, DHS and ICE have found Charlotte to be full of “hornets!”
Redcoat General Charles Cornwallis found Charlotte to be a pesky place to fight in 1780. Pictured here in red uniform, comments, “Charlotte was a hornet’s nest of rebellion.”

Made this for October 18. I’m sick of these a-holes.
A poster for No Kings March on October 18. It features a yellow background with a black cat head. At the top of the page it says “no kings” in puffy black hand-written type. Between the cat’s ear is a small black crown with an X on it. There are black stars flowers and shapes around the head. The cat has stripes in lots of different colors. Its fangs are out. Below the head it says October 18th and below that it says nokings.org, all in puffy black hand-written type. Next to that type it says “power is ours. Time to use it” also in puffy black hand-written type. Art is ©️Martha Rich
