This month’s exclusive for $5+ Patreon members is about my experience at the most recent No Kings protest in Boston.
Reader support is what keeps the comics coming, and for just $1 a month, you can see my weekly comics as soon as I finish them, before they’re posted anywhere else. Even becoming a free member is an easy way to follow my work and get notified when I publish something for free.

After a fun and inspiring weekend of No Kings protests (which I’ll be posting about later as this month’s Patreon exclusive), it was back to the Trump’s Demented Fascism Show. In the midst of the shutdown, drone-striking innocent people in international waters, and ICE continuing to terrorize cities, this administration demolished the East Wing of the White House to build their Bribery Ballroom, brought to you by corporate sponsors and the failure to enforce the Emoluments Clause the first time around.
Destroying an historic building is obviously minor compared to the daily horrors Trump’s inflicting on actual living human beings, but the symbolism to what he’s doing to the country is so blatant even the media is starting to notice the big ol’ binch ain’t right in the head. Maybe the Democratic leadership will be next to notice.

This week Politico published leaked chats from “young” (in quotes because most are in their thirties) Republicans that reveal they’re racist, fascist, and anti-Semitic creeps. It’s not surprising to anyone who’s been online for the past quarter century, but if Politico, which is owned by a billionaire Trump supporter, is finding these groypers to be outside the bounds of normal politics, perhaps shame can regain a foothold in this country.
But someone who grew up in these chats is now the Vice President, so I wouldn’t hold out too much hope for that happening. It’s probably best to just pull the plug on the internet and keep these freaks isolated in their gross little lives.

The regime is desperate to make antifascism, or “antifa” to make it sound scary, the pretext for its authoritarian crackdown on cities. Protestors in Portland, Oregon have subverted this with ridiculous costumes that highlight the absurdity of the current moment. Portland Frog has become the face of this movement.
Turns out an effective way to fight evil weirdos is having good weirdos show up.
Public opinion is already vastly against this administration. The media loves a riot to try to turn public around, so making the administration’s goons the only violent ones providing violent footage is a savvy move. Silly costumes aren’t the only way, though. Mutual aid, sabotage, and other organizing are essential to stopping the fascist tide washing over the country. But the costumes are much more fun to draw.

Today’s the anniversary of the killing of Jamal Kashoggi while the Riyadh Comedy Festival is currently going on featuring some of the most shameless cash grabbers in the business. Many of them have made their careers decrying “cancel culture” but eagerly signed a contract that literally restricts their speech.
None are real surprises, and neither will their unwillingness to accept any criticism about taking the gig. When they get back, they can all whine about the “woke” public’s reaction during a performance at Trump’s Kennedy Center.

Stephen Miller’s slop troops are still terrorizing communities and brazen enough to beat unarmed bystanders in front of dozens of cameras. If this era ever ends, everyone taking an ICE paycheck needs to face consequences. No reconciliation, no “looking forward, not backward,” they need to be shunned from every aspect of society.
Something else should happen to them too, but I ain’t gonna type it.
I was originally going to call it “Shutdown Cider,” but it appears Democrats are even dumber than I thought and are willing to make a bunch of concessions to keep funding a government that’s already been illegally withholding approved funds for essential services since the inauguration.
The weather doesn’t feel like fall yet, but the Red Sox are on the cusp of blowing another shot at the playoffs, so at least that’s something that’s letting me know it’s late September.

The fascist crybullies have been hard at work snitching ever since Charlie Kirk’s assassination. From lowly employees’ rude social media posts, to hosts of late night shows, they’re giddy that the power of the state is being used to threaten anyone who points out they’re all fascist creeps. You can denounce political violence without lauding a guy who made a lucrative career promoting it. In fact, you should.
But now that most mainstream media is owned by one variety of billionaire asshole or another, you probably won’t be allowed on TV to say it.
