Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Night Of The Living #StandWithUkraine"
From DC's anarchist cartoonist -
"Night Of The Living #StandWithUkraine"
sinkers.org/stage/?p=3458
While y'all were hanging your Ukrainian flags out in front of your
houses and putting little Ukrainian flags in your Facebook profile
fotos and screaming about the dirty Rooskies and chewing rags over
those poor little old Ukrainian ladies mixing Molotovs in their
basements, this is what happened to your unemployment benefits
extension and your rent relief and your eviction moratorium and your
Covid "stimulus" and your healthcare.
Inspired by the top two stories in the Washington Post of May 20,
above the fold like a shot and a chaser: we're pissing your healthcare
away on a NATO/US proxy war in the Ukraine, and forget about baby
formula anytime soon. Love that reference to "firm public support" in
the Ukraine Care Package story. Bwah hah, "public support"... what do
you mean "we", white man?
