Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Dear legacy media: you are not here to influence outcomes and policies you find desirable.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

In my day, never was longer.

No Kings: Americans standing in the way of bad history saying “Oh, Fuck No!”

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

To the privileged, equality seems like oppression.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

Their shamelessness is their super power.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

Wait, what?

… gradually, and then suddenly.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Everybody saw this coming.

He was on Maddow last night. I could only find the second half of the interview on YouTube, still not up at MSNBC yet, but I’m sure it will be at some point.

    Thank you for this.  It’s important for everyone to remember that there is a WHOLE LOT on the line in November.  And a lot of it is up to us

    A young man  approached me and my buddy in Brevard yesterday and asked what our biggest concern in the next election. My buddy said the environment and I said “our democracy if Trump wins”. He didn’t show any emotion at all so I’m guessing it was some kind of school project.

    I saw the interview–it was lovely! He seemed sorta . . . abashed that he was getting the attention, but also happy. I honestly had never connected all those posters and I was glad to see them; they’re very powerful, IMHO. And positive!

    Because I listen to Rachel on her next day podcast, heard the interview. But, alas, couldn’t see the work.

    Or Mr. Fairey.

    He is so young! Was he, like, 14 when he designed Mr. Obama’s “Hope” poster?

    ETA, Wikipedia says he is 54!!!

    Clearly, he should give up this art stuff, even though he is good at it, and go into the skin care biz.

    I really like the style as well as the message.

    I suppose it’s wrong to think he probably could do a really effective one with an image of TIFG and “FEAR.”
