@palin White evangelical xtians are terrified at becoming a minority in this country. They are terrified of being treated the same way they treat others.
@5klp471 @palin damn, if only they had some kind of figure central to the religion to tell them about being nice to others...
@palin #Alt4You The political cartoon depicts an old yellow "immigrant crossing" sign (usually the silhouettes of two adults and a pigtailed child running across the road). In this version, the pigtailed child is being restrained by a familiar presidential silhouette with a very long tie, a combover hairdo and a pair of pursed lips.

@Soozcat truth: for the first few seconds, I couldn't figure out why someone had pictured a Dalek at such a strange angle.

@palin @roland @paulk

@palin This happened in 2018.

@jwz @palin

Thank you for pointing that out. I came here to say the same thing.

@jwz
Yeah ...a bunch of people pointed that out...I vaguely remember it now.

@palin

This was from trump's first term

@IAmDannyBoling @palin yeah. He was fired in 2018.
@kimlockhartga @IAmDannyBoling @palin sure wish people would keep the timestamps in screenshot collages like these.
@barometz @IAmDannyBoling @palin I mean, still an important figure whose work we should remember, but it should be clear what happened and *when* to avoid confusion.

@barometz @kimlockhartga

So true. But so many sites used the "x days ago" label instead of an actual timestamp, which isn't helpful at all.

@palin

@IAmDannyBoling In the feed view that's true, but X, Mastodon & Bluesky all show the full date and time when you're looking at a particular post

@barometz

That's true. I just wish more people would remember to include them when they make screenshot, as you said earlier.

@IAmDannyBoling
After a bunch of people pointed it out ...I vaguely remember it.

@palin @Gleisplan Fired by his newspaper in 2018 ... see e.g. #ABCnews:
"
Cartoonist fired for being critical of Trump: 'They've not silenced me'
"
When Rob Rogers met with human resources representatives of The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette this week, he didn't expect to be fired right then and there."

Cartoonist fired for being critical of Trump: 'They've not silenced me'

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette fired a cartoonist who was critical of Trump.

ABC News
@palin really shocked to see free speech now costs so much!
@palin
He got fired for documented truth... It's not even satire, it is a cartoon of what's simply happening. *Sigh*
Pittsburgh cartoonist says he was fired after 25 years for making fun of Trump

Rob Rogers lost his job at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on Thursday in move he says ‘goes against what a free press is all about’

The Guardian

@palin
Rob Rogers at Pittsburg Post-Gazette

Shit promotion and a pay rise would have been far more appropriate.

That sign is brilliant. I want to stick it on all the lamp posts in town. on my car and anywhere else where I am able..

Please please

approve such usage

@palin I don't understand what was the cartoon trying to represent?
Is it Trump trying to force people to take their babies with them?
Or is it Trump trying to steal people's babies as they run away?

@ChrisbabyNZ @palin

a comment on the controversy surrounding migrant families separated by US officials on crossing the southern border.

@palin

But still it is true. Resist dictators.

@palin wow that alt text is garbage

@palin And what makes it worse? This happened in the FIRST Trump administration, back in 2018.

@palin This is terribly sad. Rob is one of the best.
@palin “Truth, Your fired.” 😐
@palin @dr_boree not great but that was 7 years ago
@palin excellent, continuez vos dessins ! Vous retrouverez rapidement un éditeur !
@geckled
I found out later that he was fired in 2018.
And I already have a job ... but thanks.
