if you're subscribed to the washington post, it's time to cancel your subscription

as if their coverage of the genocide in gaza wasn't bad enough, this is now the kind of vile racist shit they're apparently okay with publishing in their editorial cartoons

and if you're unfamiliar with the artist, michael ramirez, here are some of the cartoons he's made for other publications:

(putting them under a read more because there are so many of them and they're all disgustingly racist and/or islamophobic)

it's interesting to see thg having a renaissance bc i was 12 when i read the first book, and found rue to be the character i could most relate to, given that she was my age. katniss felt like a cool older sister that i looked up to. now i'm 22 and reading the series is a completely different experience, katniss is a child and rue is a baby and the whole thing is so much more devastating. so fucked up how getting older recontextualises shit.

!!!BREAKING NEWS!!! The nebulous hive mind of internet queer discourse has decided that lesbians who eat toast are no longer valid. Twitter user @/wombyn4wombyn has this to say: “Lesbians who eat toast are not real lesbians. Real lesbians do not like toast. We can’t let these toast loving freaks invade our lesbian spaces!!” IN OTHER NEWS the state of Florida has passed the Shoot Queers on Sight law. “Dykes, fags, it’s all the same to me.” Says a supporter of the new law. “We need to keep these dangerous predators out of our public spaces.”

Is this really satire?

The Demagogue

Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free

So I can see all of their faces when I cast them back into the sea.

For I have no time to save them, nor be bothered by their fate;

As only I can save the nation from all the Dreamers at the gate.

First, though, I must deal with anyone who does not look or sound like me,

Especially all those sad, bad hombre types who would dare to take a knee.

I mean, they make tons of money right (though not nearly as much as me),

So why should they care if a few are victims of some police brutality?

It's not like they are suffering having all their history erased.

Not like those "fine folks" who’re having their monuments displaced.

Yet there's no need to fear, I know the monuments and parks to be removed,

And with the regulations gone, my new wells and mines can be approved.

And to those pathetic liars who say that this type of order is unfair,

Know that I am simply making room to bury you beside your Obamacare.

And once that’s done I can finally move on to updating our economy;

So that the full 99% are poor and all the rest are rich like me,

Because I know which type of people have suffered most of all — 

The bankers, brokers, and capitalists with their backs against the wall.

And so now you can see the "stable genius" of my “unpresidented” plan:

Stripping all the wealth and liberties from everybody that I can.

Because all the blood and treasure that we've paid for those liberties

Were really spent to secure the wealth of rich old guys like me.
