Brilliant and inspired illustrations as ever Steve. I woke up this morning here in the UK and couldn’t believe the news feed I was seeing. I knew it would be bad but… I’m dumbstruck. I cannot believe the world got here. Please - somehow - let common sense and decency prevail. The rest of the free world really must stand up to this guy, because the US is teetering on the abyss.
Please don’t forget women in the last one. He’s well on his way destroying women’s rights. Luckily for me I live in Ireland where we’re a bit better off
Don’t be surprised if the number of “likes” begins to dwindle. People are scared. God bless our friends across the pond for saying what we are no longer able to. Freedom of speech in America will soon be a quaint notion. The inauguration was a monstrous and disturbing bonfire of American values. Welcome to the new America… God help us.
The only chance of stopping this is for the number of likes to keep growing so that it snowballs to such an avalanche that the billionaires realize the real danger for them and their companies is losing the shareholders and customers they are beholden too, rather than what they first feared. Except for a few of them, they are not true believers. They know right from wrong and will follow their stockholders (pension funds, university endowments, etc.).
The noise is indeed unbearable. It is a loud whoosh of raw sewage cresting, then crashing, pouring out of this White House onto our land. Large chunks of Project 2025 interspersed create the stench. This lends strong credence to our community’s correctly characterizing and then naming our foe as psychopathic neo-fascists. We did days of study to determine the correct nomenclature. I think now it is obvious to everyone. They are psychopathic neo-fascists. https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/my-name-for-them?r=3m1bs
Brilliant, as always. As great as all the drawings are, like so many of your readers I found the final one to be the most on target. I fear for our humanity.
The final cartoon, DUI. Crushed under the wheels. Yes. That was inspired. By what it was inspired, not so good. And yes to the initial thought that while this is the beginning of Trump, it is also the end of him.
Echoing everyone else here, Steve , these drawings are consistently brilliant. If we had the moral and physical strength and courage necessary to throw fearless leader under the bus, the SPEED TRUMP would probably bust its axle.
Did the J6ers released from their special wing of the DC jail find expensive hotel rooms waiting? It was written that at one not incarcerated did so when he was previously released (or maybe not convicted) & held in the J6ers suite at the Watergate. Is Elon funding them all?
I wish that I were optimistic about the future of the USA. I am just not sure that our country and the world can survive 4 more years of he who will remain nameless and his cult members. From a lonely Blue dot in a sea of Red(state of Alabama, Tommy Tuberville, Katie Britt, Governor MeeMaw, and the rest of our political stars).

Fabulous work.

As usual you hit the nail on the head. Especially with the final cartoon. We’re all being thrown under the bus because that’s what authoritarians do.
Keep in mind the shock and awe is designed to overwhelm us and make us feel hopeless. It’s disheartening but not surprising this was coming.
Ruth Ben-Guiat put it this way. As of yesterday noon, we became the political opposition.
Brilliant illustrations as always Steve. You've captured the essence of this regime. What a sad and disgusting day with many more to follow.
Painful, painful commentary.
In the words of Metallica, now we must "Sleep with one eye open/
Gripping your pillow tight/ Exit light/Enter night/Take my hand/We're off to Never-Neverland."
(From "Enter Sandman".)
I believe we’re living in a state of contusion (yes, I meant what I said).

Thank you for your perpetually sharp drawings!

It will be up to us to hold onto that tight!

Making the visual of a gaping animal spewing is perfect.
