But they had every bit of the blame for your paranoia. Remember: Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t really after you.
to me it says “I am in the throes of a stroke!”
(or maybe I just wish it said that)
That’s his resting dick face.
When I see Trump, the last thing I want is to smell what he’s cooking.
It’s starting, I think. We just got a notice today from the Office of Justice Programs to scrub anything related to federal funding on our website, and, if the website is funded in any part by a federal grant (it’s not) to add a disclaimer that says what’s on our website does not reflect OJP endorsement. I believe (but do not have confirmation) this is OJP trying pre-emptively to avoid problems for nonprofits. I’m not sure if it will be sufficient.
I have actually had a longtime professional goal to eventually move into grants administration work for the Division of Victim Services at the state or federal administration level. Looks like that’s not happening anytime soon.
The irony here is I’ve been burning out for months, but this bullshit has actually reminded me of why I’m doing this and given me a little bit of meaning back. It also helps to be in an environment where people are collaborating and responding proactively. As I said during the first Trump administration, the work remains unchanged. The work will always be there. It really does bring me comfort to have something hands-on to do in times like these. I think I’d go mad otherwise.
Fight the good fight, Spice Weasel! We’re pulling for you! 
Hear, hear!
Airbrush is your friend?
He made a HUGE amount of money off that mugshot, so maybe it’s not surprising that he’d want his new official portrait to resemble it.
As for late night comedy, one of them–I can’t recall which–DID do a joke about it. The portrait was shown and the host said something like ‘what’s up with this?’ and the camera pulled back to show that it looks like it does because Donald was holding a flashlight under his face, the way kids do to be scary.
Comparing Donald to dopey kids trying to be impressive is always going to work, because…you know.
:shudder: . That’s positively (or negatively) Orwellian. I mean, are they sending Robo-Cop after you?
Not so much "pissed’ as “almost strained my eyes rolling them” but this little alteration really shows how so many in power are just lining up to feed at the Trump trough so they don’t get slaughtered.
They don’t have to remove the slogan. Just change the word “End” to “Promote.” 
No, no no.
It’s like those road signs that say “End Roadwork”. You just put up one that says
“Resume Racism
Obey Local Traffic Laws”
My guess would be that they are worried that you might have some DEI type comments on your site that could get them in trouble if they were seen as endorsing it. The powers that be taking great efforts to completely memory hole the merest mention of transgenderism of diversity. If you were funded by a OJP grant and your website said you provided legal assistance to racial minorities the persons who gave you that grant could be on the chopping block.
Yes, the best thing to do is dig in on the work, which is still there and needs to be done, and there’s a reason you got into doing it. Being productive in the face of the onslaught is a good way to fight is despair. Kudos to you for what you do. Social workers are under appreciated.
That’s definitely an intense stare.
The author of that article seems a bit infatuated with Trump. A couple of excerpts:
It continues on with inane flattery, looking at a historical painting for comparison.
Here’s what I see.
That’s apparently intentional. Trump crafted that glower for the mug shot.
Check that source article.
Notice that only Trump is lit from the front and underneath, as if he’s a kid telling a spooky story and has a flashlight held down there.
Reminds of the Mad magazine satire of “Battlestar Galactica”
Cylon: Before we go, is there anything else we can do for you, Baldstar?
Baltar/Baldstar: Yes! Turn off that light below my chin you have shining up to make me look “Evil”. It’s driving me buts!
Or just look at the painting of Viggo in Ghostbusters 2
