Just a reminder: it’s good to oppose assassinations. But you are under absolutely no obligation to treat Trumpists and Trump-apologists as people who are honest, or acting in good faith, when they purport to condemn political violence or violent rhetoric. They’re not sincere.

I feel like most comics folks know about Uline by now, but in case you don’t:

For anyone curious about Uline, we reported in 2022 on how the boom in online shopping had enriched the company's owners, who have used their wealth to fund far-right causes: www.propublica.org/article/ulin...

That Cardboard Box in Your Home Is Fueling Election Denialwww.propublica.org A previously unreported boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country.

bad luck for biden to run in an electoral cycle where "are you old" is the most important issue instead of in one of the cycles where email security procedures or accuracy of vietnam war medal citations was the most important issue in the country.

Things I *am* confident of: 1) Whoever the Democrats nominate is better than Trump 2) Trump & the GOP are the most significant threat to America since the civil war 3) the news media is obscuring #2 So those are the kinds of things I'm focused on, fwiw.
