I find it extremely difficult to believe that anyone experiencing what honestly looks like the apocalypse is going to regard it as a form of liberation or that anyone responsible for it actually cares about how Iranians regard it at all.
we’ve had two truly enormous crises under Trump and the first one was covid which everyone apparently gave him a pass for despite the fact that he made it worse
but this one is completely, obviously, unquestionably his fault and would not have happened without him
hold on i gotta take this
photo of Pam Bondi testifying in the foreground as a group of 7 women and 1 men raise their hands
Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground
My take on AI use
1) It's making it harder for people to learn *how* to learn
2) If you can't do everything you think ou should be doing without resorting to it — then you're doing (or being asked to do) too much

Defund ICE or shut the government down. This is the moderate position.
US court allows ICE to arrest and pepper-spray peaceful protestors in Minnesota
Appeals Court Stays Restrictions on Federal Tactics in Minnesota The Eighth Circuit granted the Trump administration’s request to block, at least for now, a lower court’s injunction limiting how federal agents interact with protesters in the state.
One court decision, two different headlines.
Guardian on the left, NY Times on the right. Which one more directly conveys information and the stakes to the reader?
I can’t go to the grocery store alone right now because ICE is racially profiling and abducting people who aren’t white
Same with Uline. Stop using these insane companies. There are SO MANY ALTERNATIVES
And there it is. All your fault, Minnesota, that there will be no midterm elections....
the question to ask about this is, okay, he wants to cancel the midterms. how does he get the VA state board of elections to cancel the midterms? how does he get the georgia board of elections to do it? how does he convince republican house members to quit their jobs and give up their paychecks?
I would like one (1) consequence please
Even just one
Tell me another one about how protests don’t matter…

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country.

Donald Trump has multiple indictments in the United States for crimes against the US government. And also pardoned top drug dealers.
The U.S. President is not mentally competent enough to serve. We got rid of Biden yet we allow this man to incoherently ramble while he destroys the world and runs the country into the ground.
In 2026, city employees should emulate Zohran Mamdani by marrying an illustrator or cartoonist so they can have access to the city’s health insurance plan
A painting of a street scene, with drops of rain falling in dash-like diagonals. Various figures populate the scene, most of them on the sidewalk. A tall building with rows of windows appears at right. A man pushes a cart along the street
A fitting scene for this morning's weather in NYC: Jacob Lawrence, "Rain," 1938
3000 people suddenly losing their jobs is not how I hoped it would happen, but Tyson foods is a truly evil company and factory farming is a horrific system for public health, workers, animals, and humanity. High beef prices are a GOOD thing - this is one thing that should be incredibly expensive.
The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
The NY ACA exchange doesn’t open to select a new plan until 11/15 - I assume it’s the same in some other states. The shutdown was never going to do anything until people started seeing real life changes to their health plan options, but Dems already backed down. What was the point of any of this?
My first three October daily drawings.
A poster for No Kings March on October 18. It features a yellow background with a black cat head. At the top of the page it says “no kings” in puffy black hand-written type. Between the cat’s ear is a small black crown with an X on it. There are black stars flowers and shapes around the head. The cat has stripes in lots of different colors. Its fangs are out. Below the head it says October 18th and below that it says nokings.org, all in puffy black hand-written type. Next to that type it says “power is ours. Time to use it” also in puffy black hand-written type. Art is ©️Martha Rich
Made this for October 18. I’m sick of these a-holes.
I made a last-minute, plant-inspired October creative prompt list. Have fun! (if you want, nbd)
I’m opening a movie theater in which I show recently released films that I ripped from the internet but the studios are welcome to opt out if they wish.
Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing.
These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.
This is so close to being funded.
Help push them across the finish line!
