Wouldn't it be great if there was some higher power who could oversee everything that's happening and stop this coup by these idiots who convinced the misinformed to vote for them.

Lord Orange is merely the carnival Barker distracting the crowd, while Duke Dusk and his dwarfs are stealing the crown jewels. When the curtain is finally lifted, the people will learn the stage is empty and all the clowns have left town.

Exactly. You got it. Smoke and mirrors while the real thefts take place. Anything to distract from what's really going on.

Just riffing on a 1939 movie and a great mid 70's Dylan song.

Good grief, Charlie Brown. Then, a/la/Handmaid's Tale, there are those nuts who are trying to encourage people to have more children....only certain hand-picked people though...those who can afford groceries when an orange is $15.00.. The WP (which I canceled but which sends me headlines) had an article entitled, "New year, new pregnancy: This pronatalist couple wants to make America procreate again." Did they get the idea watching Handmaid's Tale? Yikes. Love the cartoon, but it makes me sad. I'd love to know if anyone has interviewed the author, Atwood, about her prescient tale and what she makes out of all this.

That cartoon is the best! Some of them did, but many did not. We should make posters!

More protests tomorrow. 50 protests in 50 states. Occurs at our state capitols at noon. If you can't make it, post about it on social media at noon and wear blue tomorrow.

The thieves are in plain sight! Why can’t they be arrested?

Today the glorious leader is entertaining Netanyahu. Trump is trying to get all the refugees out of Gaza. He has plans to build a Trump resort there, I've heard. A more heartless unfeeling person has never existed. Well, Hitler.

well, at least Hitler was a vegetarian and loved animals -- which is more than you can say for Trump (not that it matters - they were both monsters).

I admire your resolve to keep up with mostly devastating news and keep us updated while also offering us some reprieve with spot-on, adorable cartoons. You are a news source now, and I trust you more than I trust the NY Times.

There is pushback. It’s growing. It will grow larger. Liza, thank you for your gentle humor in the face of such insanity. It helps. You are so valued. 🩵

I've been away for a week. I am horrified by what I have found on my return. I am hoping that the forces for good will prevail, but I am afraid of the destruction that may come.
