comic:

when it happens I hope people ring bells and blow horns.

if I'm asleep I hope to be woken. I won't mind.

if I'm in traffic I hope to see revelers. If it causes a traffic jam I won't mind.

I don't want to exist a moment not knowing that it has happened.

University formally removes trans TA who gave anti-trans Christian a failing grade - LGBTQ Nation The American Association of University Professors slammed the school for giving no "supporting or specific reasons why Mel Curth was removed."

Well this adds a new layer of irritation to this story. Punishing an educator for a student’s failure to follow instructions on an assignment makes no sense. University formally removes trans TA who gave anti-trans Christian a failing grade www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/12/univ...

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): β€œIf this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

People sharing these stories, the folks stepping up, friends sharing that they’ve donated or are volunteering gives me hope.

Felon/G🀑P’s shutdown inflicts mass layoffs & skyrocketing costs! They’re fine with 22 million Americans’ health insurance premiums doubling due to felon/GOP refusing to extend ACA premium tax credits that are set to expire in 30 days in felon/GOP’s Big Ugly Bill! Dems are fighting for healthcare!

I agree with Senator Murphy, but what Charlie Kirk’s life’s work went beyond simple expression of political views, it was contribute to the violent rhetoric that in the end became is own undoing. I feel for the man’s wife and kids but do not mourn the loss of what he was putting out into the world.

Want to know why everything costs so damn much?

Trump Tariffs!

Tariffs increase cost of goods, which leads to higher production costs for businesses & higher prices for consumers.Β 

Higher costs then reduce demand, which leads to lower sales, & layoffs. #Trumpflation

I have always hated this is such a pervasive problem that this ad needed to be made in the first place. Our kids shouldn't have to worry about this crap in school. We shouldn't have to live like this.

It's the guns.

Fuck your guns.

BBQ season hits different when beef is $10/lb.
Congressional Republican-backed tariffs are grilling your grocery bill so the ultra-rich can keep feasting.

🚨 DON’T LOOK AWAY 🚨

U.S. Professor KIDNAPPED and DISAPPEARED by ICE!

He still remains detained.

Yesterday a California Faculty Association union leader, Professor Jonathan Caravello, was dragged away by four masked ICE agents while lawfully observing a raid.

This is NOT normal.
