MIKE LUCKOVICH APPRECIATION POST

@mluckovich.bsky.social is one of the greatest political cartoonists of all time. Thank you for 3 decades of scathing satire, remarkable insight and helping us all laugh to avoid weeping openly. 🙏

Your longtime fan, Mar🐫

I hope all federal workers being encouraged to resign with a "buyout" read this article. www.npr.org/2025/02/05/n...

HOLD THE LINE.

Pass it on. Text your friends, family, and neighbors.

Well done RollingStone for reporting it accurately.

Congratulations to Mike Johnson for trying to pressure the House Ethics Committee into burying a report that found the then-nominee for attorney general had engaged in sexual activity with a minor.

Party of Family Values, am I right?

CEO Pay Has Risen 1,085% Since 1978, But for Workers? Just 24% | Common Dreams CEOs at top US companies saw their pay skyrocket by 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay only increased by 24%

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?

100%? 500%?

Try 1,085%

Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

"O hasten, hasten through the dark/under the dim reminding stars/to find again what is small, tender, beloved,/the hope and mercy of this world/at the mercy of this world/in the darkest dark, the longest night."

Same.

Yes, I choose kindness.

I keep reading that this is a place for kinder people, but gentle souls have always been among us. We just couldn’t hear them anymore. Perhaps our gathering here is proof that we missed those voices. What a wonderful thing to believe about ourselves. It can be a bold move to choose kindness.

So @janemayer.bsky.social does not miss

Such a simple cartoon that really speaks volumes.

Wonder how Republicans are going to spin this statement from Pete Hegseth’s OWN MOTHER.

Trump won the Electoral College, but winning with less than 50% of the vote is not a landslide, and it certainly doesn’t give him a mandate, especially when he had one of the smallest wins in history.

We can’t let anyone forget that.

Perfection ❤️

In the past 24 hours, Joe Biden secured a ceasefire deal in Lebanon and deal that brought three wrongfully detained Americans home in advance of Thanksgiving.

That’s leadership.

*sigh*

Anyway, just create. Write shit, draw shit, build whatever you want, that's the important part.

There's no be-all end-all formula for the Perfect Work.

Just be YOU. No one can ever create what YOU create b/c it's you making it, and you are the only you.

I love this. ❤️

That’s a tough one.

Donald Trump Has NOT Won a Majority of the Votes Cast for President Donald Trump’s popular vote total has fallen below 50 percent, and his margin over Kamala Harris has narrowed considerably as all the votes are counted.

Of all 59 presidential elections in US history, it appears after all 2024 votes are counted, only 5 popular vote winners in history will have won by a smaller % than Turnip.

She’s now trailing him by just 1.68% of the vote, & that is expected to become even lower.

Since not a day goes by without someone saying I’m “just another big account that doesn’t say what to do.” I’ll once again say what I think you can do.
1) 30 states have local/state elections starting in Feb. Get involved/run.
2) Join a special issue group like civil rights, abortion or immigrant
