Summer Is Coming
It’s a beautiful late spring day and a little bit hot in NYC. I thought I would share this New Yorker drawing with you.
I was planning to write about Trump’s use of the word “reich” today— he posted on Truth Social that a Trump election would bring a “unified reich.” It’s been taken down— but really, what can I say about it? Except that it’s horrific and scary. And should be front page news, which is was on a few outlets.
Have a great Wednesday and see you tomorrow.
Your cartoon reminds of what my almost 3 year old granddaughter says when she is helping her father water the plants: “l am doing hose work”
Trump, of course, is a profound problem for the country and the planet. Yes he is outrageously blatant and must be called out. Fascist and reich evoke--rightly--traditions and practices of Germany in the 30s. So yes to all you have said re Trump.
At the same time, and equally difficult, is we need to find ways to contain Trump's violent and combative followers. They are organizing and are real. This will be difficult and will demand our best peaceable thinking and needs to involve citizens. Trump must be weakened by the mass outpouring by the many who reject his ways and being. Designing and propelling that outpouring is an obligation and an opportunity. You can offer us gorgeous illustrations of that organizing!!!!!!! Draw the world we need Liza. You have the heart and brain and being.
