There is absolutely no viable path forward for this country that doesn’t hinge on extreme accountability for everyone involved in this administration. They’re going to whine about politicization and credulous media types will echo them, but the thing is, they’ve committed tons of obvious crimes!

The sad thing is that even if the Democrats sweep in November, they won't get 2/3 of the Senate, and that's what's needed for removal after impeachment. If the Senate held a secret ballot, maybe, but too many sitting senators have too much to lose.

This morning, the federal government turned the full force of the Department of Homeland Security against a sitting member of Congress for the offense of disagreeing with the White House.

The path to citizenship should not be weaponized against anyone, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, a naturalized American who swore an oath to this country — the same one that I took.

The promise of citizenship should not be contingent on someone agreeing with the federal government.

If the lessons Democrats (& democrats) draw from DOGE is “right idea, wrong implementation,” we are doomed. Everyone involved in the unprecedented crime that was DOGE needs to go to jail forever, & Democrats need to rebuild all of the programs & agencies first, not do digital management consulting 🤦‍♂️

If I can get just one teen girl to use the word epistemic, this entire career will have been valuable. COMIC ◆ www.smbc-comics.com/comic/random PATREON ◆ www.patreon.com/ZachWeinersm... STORE ◆ smbc-store.myshopify.com
4-panel SMBC comic update. A young girl stops an adult saying "OH MY GOD THAT IS SO RANDOM" The panel switches to the adult, showing she is wearing a "duckicorn power" shirt, featuring a character that is a mix of an unicorn and a duck. The woman asks "Epistemic or ontic randomness?" When the girl replies what, the woman explains "Are you claiming mere lack of knowledge of my duck-icorn sweater or claiming that the presence of the duck-icorn was unknowable prior to observation?" The girl replies "the first one," causing the adult to say "OMYGOD, THANKS!"

Freedom of choice
4 frame comic. an off frame street journalist asks a bearded man wearing a green cap and khaki clothes:

sir! do you think people
who don't have the guts to
watch a public execution
should do something else
instead of complaining, while
real men enjoy the show?

the man replies:
I don't know. do
you think people who don't
want to watch drag storytime
should just do something else
instead of demonstrating?
do you think people who
don't want to transition
should get a hobby instead
of restricting trans care
for people who need it?
how come you people
only care about freedom of
choice when it's about
being cruel to people?

Greetings on Columbus Day from Columbus, Ohio, where six years ago they removed the big Christopher Columbus statue and absolutely no one in this city gives a shit that it's gone or ever really thinks about it. It's a good reminder that people who care about Columbus are losers who don't matter.

As we wrap up Coming Out Day 2026:

I am quoted by Annie M. Lowrey, staff writer at The Atlantic, in her new book The Time Tax published August 25, 2026 by HarperCollins.

To the best of my knowledge I was not contacted by the author or publisher, or any representatives of either, for fact checking. The book refers to me as “he” — I’m nonbinary, use they/them, and have been openly out  since 2022. 

Matthew Cortland, they/them, nonbinary now more than ever.

As an owner of this shirt, I feel called out.
A T-shirt design against a gray background, in the style of the "Greetings from... " large-letter postcard style popularized in American tourism and immortalized on the cover of the Bruce Springsteen album "Greetings from ASBURY PARK N.J."

The text reads "Greetings from THE INTERNET ...it's pretty much all just cats!"

Through the letters in the word "INTERNET" a blue sky can be seen above an endless sea of cats, some of which are starting to climb through the second E, and one of which is standing atop the R batting at the word "from".

Hey Ukraine as an American I say blow that shit up. If our problem was a lack of diesel we'd stop exporting 1.5m barrels/day of it. Trump's fake deal with an imperialist dictator will not impact our diesel prices and should have no impact on your survival strategy.
