A masked ICE officials with a 5 year old child
This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars
We know they're out there.
Carol, sorry, I don't. @hogansalley.bsky.social is good with this stuff, as is Ger Apeldoorn.
You cannot spell FELON without ELON.

"I Could See Everything" is my latest mixed-media Free Association Funnies piece. A large image can be seen on the website in the bio. 22"x 15" on 300 lb watercolor paper.

Hey, my copy of the new Swinnerton book has arrived! Glorious!
Gary Panter reminds us:
In late-breaking Fake News, Trump has announced that he is changing the name of New Mexico to New America. Further, the Holland Tunnel is now to be known as the American Tunnel. More Fake News as it happens!
Ah, Bluesky on my PC is much easier to work with. Why didn't I do this sooner?
Yep.
I have a new blog post about my old friend Marvin Friedman up and running at inkslingers.ink
Picked up three wonderful examples of Will Henry's "Wallace the Brave" daily strips. I love Will's writing and artwork.
Matt Gaetz couldn't even last one Scaramucci as AG. SAD.
Pam Bondi is as shady as the day is long.
