They lynched Allen Brooks—and sold postcards of it. 10,000 watched. Kids cheered. No one was charged. They called it justice. We call it genocide. Now they’re banning books so you never find out. 📚 ERASED tells the truth they fear. Read it before they erase that too: stan.store/gxldsociety/...

A black bunny is lounging comfortably on a pink patterned cushion. Its body is stretched out and relaxed on a carpeted floor.

One of my favorite advertising tropes from the early-mid 60's, was the insistent shoehorning of the Beatles and rock n roll music into ads by people who clearly had never actually seen or heard of the Beatles or rock n roll music (Family Fare in Holland, Michigan 1964)
A grocery circular that features a half-hearted rock n roll/Beatles theme, featuring terrible Beatles caricatures and an ad copy that reads "let your hair down and hurry to Family Fare soon. We've gone wild this week and are having a real SWINGIN SALE! You'll find big savings in every department...besides our fantastic Everyday Low Prices on over 4000 items. Here's your chance to really cut your food costs to the bone and have a lot of fun at the same time. So get hep...lead dad and the kids in the family chariot and make a 'beetle line' for Family Fare"

Polly & Dan (Part 2) - Gator Days
Panel 1

Polly has been called to the school office and she doesn't know why. She is currently in the hall worrying about why she might have been called. She's especially worried that something happened to her mom or sister.

Polly: I'm fine.

Anxiety: This is bad.

Polly: My family is fine.

Anxiety: What if they're hurt.

Polly: I'm sure they're fine.

Anxiety: Was Mom in an accident?

Panel 2

Polly is sinking further into her anxious thoughts. She doesn't realize that a boy down the hall is looking her way with concern on his face.

Polly: I just have to stop worrying.

Anxiety: What if something happened.

Polly: It's all fine.

Anxiety: Is someone dying?

Polly: I'm fine.

Anxiety: It's my fault.

Panel 3

Polly puts a big smile on her face and tries to force a more positive mood. She stands defiantly with her hands on her hips.

Polly: EVERYTHING IS FINE!

Anxiety: IT'S NOT FINE! IT'S NOT FINE! IT'S NOT FINE! IT'S NOT FINE! IT'S NOT FINE! IT'S NOT FINE! IT'S NOT FINE! IT'S NOT FINE! IT'S NOT FINE! IT'S NOT FINE! IT'S NOT FINE! IT'S NOT FINE!

Panel 4

Polly sits down on the ground. She's overwhelmed by her anxious thoughts. Only one sticks out now "I'm not fine."

TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON

This cartoon has four panels.

PANEL 1

CAPTION: The year 2000

A young, beardless Barry is standing behind a table in a public walkway, talking to a passerby. A large sign on the table says "NADER."

Behind Barry, an older, bearded Barry is appearing out of some sort of dimensional portal, a panicked expression on his face.

YOUNG BARRY: Nader is our only choice that isn't a vote for evil!

OLDER BARRY: Barry, stop!

PANEL 2

Barry, bewildered, talks to older Barry, who is still panicked.

YOUNG BARRY: Who are you?

OLDER BARRY: I'm you! I'm barry from 2008. I'm using a time machine to stop you from making an awful mistake!

PANEL 3

Older Barry waves his arms as he talks.

OLDER BARRY: George W Bush is much worse than you think he'll be! There was terrorist attack, and we invaded Iraq, and it's all awful!

PANEL 4

As Older Barry talks to Young Barry, an Even Older Barry, with a gray beard, emerges from a dimensional portal and taps Older Barry on the shoulder.

OLDER BARRY: I literally can't imagine a worse Pres-

EVEN OLDER BARRY: Excuse me, I'm Barry from 2025.

“Mr. Trump is already undercutting the separation of powers at the heart of the constitutional system, and the right question now is how it will transform the nation” — not whether we are undergoing a constitutional crisis, which understates how deep the problem is. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/19/u...

There is no such fucking thing as being “too woman” to pilot a helicopter, “too gay” to land a plane or “too black” to be an air traffic controller. There is however, such a thing as being too hateful, too stupid & too sociopathic to be president. And we call that Donald Trump.
