Molina was forced to flee Nicaragua when it's autocratic president stacked the Supreme Court, made his wife the vice president, and arrested journalists.










MAGA, Memes and Momala: Political Cartoonists take on 2024 (updated)

Featuring
Matt Wuerker, editorial cartoonist and illustrator, POLITICO
Ann Telnaes, editorial cartoonist, The Washington Post
Michael Ramirez, editorial cartoonist, Las Vegas Review- Journal

interviewed by Roslyn Mazer

Join us as we celebrate freedom of speech and our right to satire with a freewheeling look at a wild campaign year, as seen by some of the nation's and world's best political cartoonists.
 
Cartoonists have long lived on the front lines in the fight for freedom of speech. The US Supreme Court used cartoons to codify our right to lampoon our political leaders in the seminal case, Hustler Magazine v. Falwell. Decline of local newspapers, explosion of social media, political polarization and global trends toward populism, nationalism and authoritarianism shape today's challenges.
 
Ms. Mazur
Wuerker, Telnaes, Ramirez

That darn Edith Pritchett

Spinning out [Edith Pritchett letter]

Linda Jacobsen, Sterling

Washington Post October 19 2024

online at https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/10/18/whippets-grooming-weddings-zuckerberg-rome/

Regarding Skip Strobel's Oct. 12 Free for All letter, "Light papers and heavy hearts":


The Post and coffee have been part of our morning routine for decades, along with another paper to give us a different spin on the news. But The Post is flailing, and its struggles are apparent. It is much thinner. There is no Sunday Magazine. In a misguided attempt to appeal to millennials, irrelevant Edith Pritchett cartoons are taking up valuable space on Opinions pages; she belongs in the Style section or the Comics. In too many instances, editorial biases are not held in check but found front page to back. There is no break, no enjoyment left. Politics infuses everything, from food to fashion to comics. The Post has become personality-driven, and there's a mean streak running through it.

Some change is inevitable, and embracing it is necessary, but new isn't always better, and a catchy slogan isn't a substitute for substance.

In his newsletter, he wrote,
 
 After months of hibernation, I finally published something new! It’s an election-related project, but guess what? It’s about everything *except* politics.

Last time you heard from me, I was looking for voters willing to share their stories. But then my editors threw me a curveball: They told me to find random people out in the world instead.

At first, I hated the idea. Talking to strangers is an introvert’s worst nightmare. But it turned out to be an amazing experience—everyone had a wonderful story to tell.

Today, I’m sharing the first in this series (more to come next week, stay tuned). This project left me more hopeful for the future of the country. I hope it lifts you up too.
