This from @oliverdarcy.bsky.social is so accurate

How are y'all dealing with the cognitive dissonance of much of your daily life continuing as normal right now even as really really really bad shit is happening in government (that will certainly have ripple effects that will reach us all)? Because I'm honestly feeling a little insane right now.

This is Justin Trudeau allowing Donald Trump to save face after his stupid stunt. Because Trudeau is the only adult in the relationship and he knows it is better for allow the Toddler-in-Chief to pretend he won concessions already agreed to than to tank North America's economy.

It’s not so much a panic “attack” at this point, it’s more of a standing appointment we have in the morning where we meet for coffee

Absolutely bush league and childish.

It’s like listening to a child figure out what happened.

Let grown adults work it out first Mr. President then you can send your opinion

This is terrifying.

Sooo…if anyone finds the giant spigot that will send all the water from the Pacific Northwest to Southern California, let us know, m’kay?

This is perfection.

WTF?

The artist, David Cohen is an Asheville-based artist/musician and resident of over forty years. His cartoon work spans various subjects ranging from local issues based in Asheville to more national political events and even to one-off, word-play-oriented jokes. ❤️ Give credit to artists when you can.

Can you say the same?! 🤚

Say. I. Stand. With. Her. ❤️✨

Herod Goes to the National Cathedral and is Disappointed - emptywheel Trump's reaction to the National Cathedral prayer service yesterday says a lot more about him than it does about Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde.

Reup: Peterr's reflection on Bishop Budde & prayer service:

This is a service for the nation.

Not for "the citizens of" the nation.
Not for "the taxpayers of" the nation.
Not for "the leaders of" the nation.
This was a service for the nation-the *whole* nation.

Again I say: What. The. Hell. (I’m thinking this will be the theme for the foreseeable future.)

Stay safe. My colleague just told me the fire was in Castaic?

The paradox of Zoom. On the one hand, I don’t have to leave my house for meetings. But then I have to stare at myself the whole time.

Bishop Mariann Budde speaking truth to power today. May we all speak and act with such boldness.

Amen!

What. The. Hell.

I feel like we’re going to spend the next 4 years both waiting for the other shoe to drop and being beaten over the head with it.

Watching so many people having spent money to go to the inauguration, and then Trump canceling it because he’s worried about the pictures and small crowds, is a perfect picture of his whole relationship with his supporters.

They give and give, he takes and takes.

Every day the news gets more and more overwhelming.

California Fire Facts | Governor Gavin Newsom Get the facts about the Los Angeles fires.

Gavin Newsom launched a website to combat the wildfire disinformation spreading about Los Angeles, because people can’t be bothered to do a simple Google search before sharing nonsense. And because people suck!

Another blue dot in Texas!

Schoolhouse Rock never prepared us for this shit.

Hey Media, How About Asking Trump Supporters To Understand the Rest of Us? If I had a dime for every time over the past eight years I’ve been asked to understand a Trump supporter, I’d have enough money to defend their belligerent, spray-tanned savior from his four indictmen...

How about the media ask Trump supporters to understand the rest of us in this country? That would be refreshing.
