Shameful

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis chartered airplanes to fly immigrants from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard. People on the fights say they were told they were going to Boston, and were lured from a shelter in San Antonio with food, promises of help and expedited papers.

None of that help was waiting for them. No notice was given to Martha’s Vineyard or Massachusetts to prepare help for these people.

It’s a despicable move to use human beings as props and pawns in a political stunt. People who fled their homelands. Policy disagreements are one thing. But toying with human lives for attention is disgusting. Instead of helping people, DeSantis used them and lined up no help for them.

DeSantis should be ashamed. But I’m not sure he’s capable of that.

Stop Voting for Stupid People

Let’s be honest, in the upcoming midterm elections I have one goal to promote: getting people to stop voting for stupid people.

And now you, too, can support that goal. Get your very own t-shirt or stickers to tell people whom you support: the not-stupid candidates!

Awful People

Too frequently these days, I seem to conclude this is the root problem with some people.  It’s even more pronounced on social media.

I try to give people the benefit of the doubt, but sometimes it’s just not worth it.

On my phone, I have a folder I can Utility Cartoons - cartoons I’ve done that seem to have a lot of reuse as rebuttals or parts of debate online. They’re especially useful on Twitter.

I have a feeling I’ll get a lot of use out of this one.
