The Pacifists’ Playbook for Frustrating Fascists

With federal employees thrown into the chaos of this administration, a declassified CIA fascism sabotage guide has been making the rounds. Anyone who’s worked in an office setting should be familiar with these tactics. Instead of the one dumbass that’s employed in every office, it suggests everyone become one themselves. This is an excellent tactic when more overt methods can lead to immediate firings or worse.

If you’re not a pacifist, you could still use this advice to fight fascists, in addition to your fists. Theoretically. I don’t want to be accused of inciting anything against our dear fascist goons recently installed at the top levels of government who probably don’t yet know how to read this on the NSA’s computers.

I probably shouldn’t have used the obscure hockey term deke (a feint to cause your opponent to move in a desired direction) instead of American football’s play-actions, trick plays, sneaks etc. but I’m a sucker for alliteration. To use another Canadian term, sorry.

2025 Corporate Media Style Guide

After less than a week of insane (and illegal, if laws were still real) executive orders, the mainstream media has rolled over and showed its belly to the second Trump administration. The publishers and owners signaled this move was coming throughout the election, but to see them all become state media apparatuses overnight was jarring.

When these policies were first introduced to the public with coverage of Project 2025, the public recoiled, because it’s unpopular Nazi shit. The media gave Trump a boost by letting him claim he disavowed it, but now that he’s practically signing copies with each executive order, they’re desperately trying to spin their audiences into favoring it or pretending it’s not happening.

Unfortunately, mainstream media’s not the only one doing it. Democratic leadership seems to be using this same playbook instead of acting anything like an opposition party.

Evergreen Trump II Cartoons

I’m not going to repeat my 2017-2021 comics with weekly renderings of this bozo and his rotating cadre of fascist flunkies’ every outrageous move. Since the election, a lot of editorial cartoonists have almost gleefully returned to that era with nonstop “Can ya believe this?!” comics, and yeah, we believe it. It’s happened twice.

Pointing out the awfulness of the imminent administration is probably the most well-covered topic of the past decade. I’m almost as bored with the subject as I am terrified of what’s to come. I’ll highlight mutual aid and direction action, but will probably make more jokes about things unrelated to current events to give myself, and hopefully readers, a break from this shitty human being.

Republican Stuntman Confronts His Fears

Republicans’ cruelty, greed, and ineptitude have been covered for years, with Tim Walz recently putting their weirdness in the national spotlight. But as the great political analyst Yoda once said, all this behavior originates from fear.

They are scaredy cats, whipping up their base of terrified suburbanites over imagined threats in order to win elections they know they can’t win on the merits. It would be one thing if they stayed in the bunkers while the rest of us live our lives, but they won’t rest until everyone’s as miserable as them.

I’d feel like I’m dating myself by referencing Evel Knievel or Super Dave, but Hot Rod came out this century, so I’m clinging to relevancy among the youths.

Republicans’ Manual for Acting Normal

“Republicans are weird.” has gone mainstream after Kamala Harris bluntly stated this obvious fact. Previously, you’d only hear it in alt-weeklies, late night jokes, and all over social media because the mainstream media was too busy doing both-sides coverage to notice how divorced from reality Republican politicians have truly become.

Republicans are struggling to refute this simple line of attack because it is true. Their policies, demeanors, and general vibe are just plain weird. The RNC was a freak show celebrating it before it became a liability! Their attempts to point out Democratic weirdness so far have been focused on quirky individuals who are weird in the cool sense and have neither the desire nor power to impose their weirdness on others.

There are still three months before the election, which is a lot of time, but not long enough for these weirdos to stop being creeps.

Make Your Own J.D. Vance Comic

A year of news happened since last week’s comic. I haven’t watched a minute of the Republican National Convention. Trump’s speaking as I type this. No thank you. Recaps and screenshots from folks who subjected themselves to it was enough for me.

Vance was announced as Trump’s VP pick on Monday, and it’s a choice that signals they’re not even trying to win votes that weren’t already in the bag. He’s a Christian nationalist and white supremacist, and anyone who was enthralled by his dumb book is a mark.

As for Saturday’s assassination attempt, you can’t be charged with incitement if you don’t say anything at all.

Ron DeSantis’s Book Club

Here is a sort of a sequel to this cartoon from last August. DeSantis keeps escalating his fascist grip on Florida while national Democrats are spending their time crowing about “bipartisan” infrastructure and doing fuck-all else.

While I doubt DeSantis has national appeal, ceding one of our largest state’s populace to his goonish whims is less than ideal. “Just VOTE!” when the guy you want to be voted out has already disenfranchised his way into landslide re-elections.

Senate Hearing Content Warnings

I only watched clips and read articles about the Senate Judiciary Committee’s confirmation hearings for Ketanji Brown Jackson. A gross spectacle that I don’t know how anyone managed to watch it all, let alone participate in it like Brown Jackson was forced too.

After the run of Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett, there’s no more pretense of the Supreme Court being above the fray. That ended with Bush v. Gore for me.

Hopefully Brown Jackson gets confirmed. Meanwhile, I’m eagerly refreshing Clarence Thomas news.
