(panel 1 - Title on an "under construction" Massachusetts flag.) Massachusetts Flag Redesigns
Massachusetts’ flag and seal are problematic, so every once in a while the state legislature pretends to do something about it. There is currently a public call for submissions, and while I don’t think I have any actual shot at winning, I figured it was a fun prompt for some […]

Massachusetts Flag Redesigns

(panel 1 - Title on a book in a nest with nestlings.) Spring Reads
There are still residents, including citizens, getting exiled (deported ain’t the right word), but Hakeem Jeffries and Democratic leadership have decided that members of Congress visiting them in gulags to highlight their plight is a distraction from the important work of their latest stunt. Impeachment and obstruction are also considered […]

(panel 1 - Title on the cover of a ration book.) Trump Tariff Rations
The container ships have slowed to a crawl (not because of something funny like the one that got stuck in the Suez Canal), and soon shelves will be empty. Many people predicted this would happen the night of the election. Unfortunately all of them were at home pulling their hair […]

Unfocused Groups

(panel 1 - Title on a TV under the White House logo.) White House Approved Programming
Paramount needs federal approval for a merger, so they’re bending over backwards to appease the administration (it won’t work, they’ll just demand more obedience) by neutering CBS’s autonomy in its news coverage. Other corporate media giants have done the same to pre-emptively appease an administration that barely squeaked out a […]

White House Approved Programming

We’re now three months into the regime and citizens are being detained and deported. It was already fascism when it was legal residents being shipped off to gulags in El Salvador, but now it’s “it could happen to you” fascism. That this is happening during the week most procrastinators did […]

(panel 1 - Title on economics textbook.) Republican Economic Innovations
