Today's cartoon by Nick Anderson.
"He did not invent gerrymandering, but he stripped away its last remaining illusions and norms. What had once been a quiet, technical exercise became an explicit strategy: redraw the map, lock in power, dare the other side to complain...'
This is insane, tinpot authoritarian shit.

Trump's latest budget is the culmination of 40 years of increasing social control in America.
Remember that over half of defense spending flows to private contractors, like the drone manufacturers Trump's sons are now major investors in.
All of this is absurd.
Trump is spending $500 million of taxpayer dollars to bailout Spirit Airlines, AND, is providing taxpayer support to the oil-rich United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Meanwhile, American families can no longer afford groceries, gas, healthcare, insurance, housing...

(I have PTSD- and it gets triggered by sudden loud noises 🙄)
When IT happens—
The sound reverberation:
—of champagne corks
popping off
around the globe—
Will likely be deafening.
I’m willing to tolerate that.
Picked up some champagne at Costco this morn-
Never know when it’ll come in handy!!!
Can’t be much longer now.
BLUNT ROCHESTER: Do you take any responsibility for the situation we are in with this measles epidemic?
RFK Jr: It became before I came into office
BLUNT ROCHESTER: I'm going to take that as a no
Donald Trump standing directly in front of the Georgia women's tennis team, next to their all-male coaching staff, almost blocking some of the actual athletes out of the photo
President Obama standing next to Breanna Stewart and Moriah Jefferson, with a variety of other UConn women's basketball players and coaches next to them and behind them
Trump welcoming a women's sports national champion to the White House vs. how you're supposed to welcome a women's sports national champion to the White House
DENMARK AND FRANCE 🇩🇰🇫🇷 bans all Microsoft products from all public offices.
The phaseout is expected to be completed before autumn 2026.
Their products are being replaced with customer versions of Linux and LibreOffice.
This is digital sovereignty being taken back
RFK Jr: "President Trump has a different way of calculating percentages. If you have a $600 drug and you reduce it to $10, that's a 600% reduction."
Picked up some champagne at Costco this morning.
Here’s to hope!
We have heard nothing from Pam Bondi or her legal team. She didn't show up for her scheduled deposition, and half of the Epstein files are still unreleased.
We are left with no choice. Contempt charges are coming.
We are not dropping the Epstein thing!

This May 1st: NOT business as usual. A day of marches, rallies, teach-ins, labor actions, & a general refusal to do business. When billionaires control, only collective action will end it. #MayDay #Protest Participate where and how you can. Put off that purchase for 1 day--it counts!
A single-day protest on May 1 is taking its cue from the massive day of action that shut down Minneapolis in January by asking Americans not to shop, work or go to school
The Texas legislature rammed through a gerrymandering bill at the request of Trump.
Virginia actually voted in favor of redistricting to counterbalance what Texas and other Republican-controlled states have done.
Yet only one is considered a "power grab."
Oligarch-owned media in a nutshell.
Als Ich beinahe 70 bin, schneide ich lieber mein eigenes Haar und benutze das gesparte Geld für anderen Spaß!
I think she meant to say Men's Tennis.
Bondi needs to be held accountable!
