Rich, my editor at CNN sent me a story about bulletproof backpacks. He told me it made him sad. It makes me sad too that now bulletproof backpacks are on the back-to-school shopping list....

A suicide watch is meant to prevent a prisoner from taking his own life, not just to observe it, right? Pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, who was being held in the Metropolitical Correctional Center while facing federal sex trafficking charges killed himself by hanging himself Saturday morning. He was placed on suicide watch three weeks ago after... Continue Reading →
Conservatives are going nuts defending Donald Trump's racism. They argue that comments such as "send them back" or "infestation" aren't racist. They sell the idea that there's no correlation between him and mass shooters who echo his code words. They use false equivalency to deflect from Trump's racism, like trying to tie Democrats to a...

I've mentioned this before. I don't hate Donald Trump. I don't like the guy but I don't hate him. I hate President Donald Trump. At some point, in the better interest of their nation, Trump's supporters in Congress, his party, the Trump cult, and even within his own family need to stop pretending that this...

How dare politicians try to create legislation that'll stop murders. What do they think we sent them to Washington for anyway? To be... Continue Reading →
The cartoon I published this morning criticizing white terrorism was initially blocked by Facebook, citing it violated their "community standards." I thought, if that violates your standards then you need to reevaluate your standards. I submitted it for a review and Facebook unblocked and apologized for the ban. What I suspect happened was, a Trump... Continue Reading →

When I was working at The Free Lance-Star in 2001, I tried to get cartoons past my editors that were against profiling Muslim-Americans after 9/11. I didn't have a lot of success. While not officially endorsing profiling, the paper didn't rail against it. Even then, the majority of terrorist attacks on Americans were committed by... Continue Reading →
