I don’t want to see any shit about How Trump Won. America is dominated by ignorant fools who are easily led around by the nose. That’s how he won.

THIS YEAR I WANT TO BE MORE LIKE JESUS:

- Hang out with sinners.
- Upset religious people.
-Tell stories that make people think.
-Choose unpopular friends.
-Be kind, loving, and merciful.
-Take naps on boats.

@StillIRise1963 they should have to take and pass a Civics test to show a basic understanding of how government works.

This week's comic: Makeover for a Takeover

#media #fascism #racism #journalism

MAKEOVER FOR A TAKEOVER

1. Are you a white supremacist looking to be celebrated as a public intellectual? First, change your style.

BEFORE: Angry MAGA guy with a Confederate flag

AFTER: Same guy in a sportjacket with a cocktail

Can keep the khakis!

2. Get an advanced degree so you can communicate more subtly.

BEFORE: WHITE POWER!!!

AFTER: Our data indicate that certain aptitudes among those of Western European background may be genetic in origin.

3. Find a far-right billionaire to fund your "think tank"

4. Have your op-eds published!

At Big Legacy Newspaper

Editor to right-wing extremist: You seem respectable. Unilke cartoonists!

RJay Hansen boosted:

Exactly!

Shirt that says "Tell me a time in history when it was the good guys banning books"

@gruber point taken. I suppose I expect (probably unreasonably) that a genius would be more self aware and introspective than Musk appears to be. And obviously his handling of Twitter has not been genius level.

@gruber re: "I’m starting to get real Bobby Fischer vibes from Musk — a genius, yes, but descending into conspirational hateful madness."
I seriously have doubts about the genius part.

@gruber Re: Apple Launches Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro for iPad…
Getting pretty sick of app subscriptions.

$44 billion to run the site like a 7th grader would.

@BlackAzizAnansi I’m sure that will work out well.

@lowqualityfacts Elon Musk beat you to it.

Great hike in the Cascades this morning.

Congrats to Trump for finally winning a popular vote.

@HamonWry the Trump method!

Happy day! Trump indicted! The chickens have come home to roost. The witch has been caught!

@JamesGleick everyone knows what number 1 is.

This week's comic: What we are experiencing in America right now is not so much a "culture war" as an asymmetrical attack on basic freedoms and human rights.

#cartoon #lqbtq #race #language #framing

FRAMING FUNNIES: "Culture Wars"

1. The term is being thrown around a lot these days.

"Both sides need to stop these endless culture wars." - Pundit on Bourgeois Babblers

2. Don't want to "take sides" as extremists attack LGBTQ people? Call it a "culture war."

The "culture" of homophobic, transphobic bullies vs. the "culture" of LGBTQ people wanting to be left alone

3. Same goes for race

The "culture" of white supremacy vs. the "culture" of equality

4. In fact, you can easily both-sides any human rights battle

1940-
The "culture" of wanting a world without Jews vs. the "culture" of Jews wanting to exist

@gruber re: CPAC speaker calls for elimination of transgenderism...
People need to start referring to the GOP as the American Fascist Party (formerly known as the GOP)
