Nationally Syndicated Editorial Cartoonist
When I go to my Twitter home page, the first people who show up are Donald Trump Jr, Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz, Jim Gym Jordan, and an assortment of other Trump goons. What's odd about this is that I don't follow any of those accounts. But Elon, who's also one of those... Continue Reading →
I've seen several cartoons from right-wingers about the so-called Twitter Files, but none from the left, so I decided to take a stab at it. The Twitter Files is Elon's release of internal documents from head Twitter honchos over blocking "news" on its platform about Hunter Biden's laptop in the weeks before the 2020 election....

Republicans are noisy about free speech but all about oppressing statements they don't want to hear. Republicans and MAGAts are all over Twitter celebrating Elon Musk bringing "free speech" back to the platform, which to them includes conspiracy theories, lies, covid misinformation, and organizing terrorist attacks by white nationalists in order to overturn the government...

Twitter's new owner, I mean founder (sorry, Elon), tweeted last night, "Widespread verification will democratize journalism & empower the voice of the people." It's really amazing this guy was successful at ever selling anything with that sort of bullshit sales pitch. Elon is selling verifications on Twitter, the blue check. That means you're verified and... Continue Reading →
If you tweet, then you know about the verification thing. In case you don't know, it's a blue check mark that means you're authentic, important, and probably smell really nice. It's given to individuals, corporations, charities, etc, etc. I don't have one, but I did instruct a cartoonist, who doesn't have any national awards, on... Continue Reading →
When Elon Musk talks about free speech, I wonder if he understands what that is. Coordinating and strategizing with Nazis and making death threats is not free speech. You also don't have the freedom to accuse someone of being a pedophile just because they disagree with you. Also, losing a social media account doesn't mean... Continue Reading →
I'm in Washington, D.C. for two cartoon events, one of which was last night. At that function, a reader of my blog told me he loved it but he rarely ever finishes reading it because they're always too long. I agree, so today's blog is going to be short. I talked to my good friend... Continue Reading →

To believe Elon Musk cares about free speech would be like believing Donald Trump cares about anyone other than himself. It would be like believing Republicans are patriots, fiscal, pro-life, freedom-lovers, or care about family values. After Twitter banned Donald Trump for inciting a white nationalist terrorist attack to overturn a democratic election and to... Continue Reading →
The trend among MAGAts to be as vile and corrosive as possible is continuing, this time into school board meetings. What's next? Going to nursing homes to pee in pudding, or daycare centers to steal juice boxes and string cheese? The history of school board meetings is that school board meetings are boring. Even members...
