"RKF took money earmarked to provide health care for Black infants and spent it on his personal security detail" is a ludicrous headline. Comic book villainy.

Gas prices are up 24.6% from a year ago and still significantly higher than they were before the Iran War. Meanwhile, the world's 8 biggest oil companies have made a $93B profit windfall in just the last three months. Big Oil is raking it in as the world burns — and we're paying for it.

This 2019 MAD Magazine piece about ICE has held up surprisingly/depressingly well. Written by @caseyboyd.bsky.social and illustrated by @edsteckley.bsky.social.
This is a page from the February 2019 issue of MAD Magazine. It was about Donald Trump putting kids in ICE detention centers. It took the form of a parody of the board game Mouse Trap. This version was called "ICE Trap." The text below that reads:
"It's fun to build
This terrible wonder,
But woe to the kids
who get caught under!"

The mechanical contraption begins with a crank that's labeled with the instruction to "Turn the painfully slow gears of government bureaucracy." Remember the little plastic man in Mouse Trap who would be launched from the seesaw into the bucket? In this game, the man is Mitch McConnell who is diving gleefully into a bucket of "liberal tears" which in turn causes a cage to fall not on a plastic mouse, but a crying baby."

"I.C.E. Trap" was written by Casey Boyd and illustrated by Ed Steckley.

The Democratic Party's approval rating is in the toilet, and the main reason is voters see Dem leaders and prominent members acting like things are basically okay instead of fighting like there's an emergency. Slot "my friend Lindsey Graham, so funny, how great to work with him" comments into that.

Are you mad about guns? MAD Magazine has been pretty *ticked off* about them for decades! Here's a thread of some highlights. "The MAD Gun Owners And Other Small Bores Primer" nailed it way back in 1965. Written by Larry Siegel with art by George Woodbridge. (1/X)
Framed as a children’s primer, this MAD Magazine article addressed the culture and politics of gun ownership.

Your reps can probably tell you how many constituents ask them about generic issues like "Immigration," but they can't say how many ask them to "Abolish ICE." They don't know because they don't ask. And they don't ask because they don't want to know. If they knew, they might have to do something.
