Event canceled after threats against cartoonist
The threats against Adam Zyglis began when he shared a cartoon
Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Adam Zyglis is facing death threats after publishing a controversial cartoon depicting a man in a MAGA hat being swept away in Texas floodwaters, intended as a critique of Republican cuts to disaster preparedness. The backlash led to the postponement of a public event at the Buffalo History Museum due to safety concerns. While local Republican officials condemned the cartoon as offensive, many colleagues and supporters rallied around Zyglis, defending his right to free expression and the role of editorial cartoonists in holding power to account.
I’d like to say that this is nothing but a fabricated outrage. There is nothing wrong with this cartoon except Trumpers have decided to fight on this hill. It’s a molehill and no amount of outrage will make it a mountain.

Dish it out but can’t take it. Again and again and again and again…
This is truly sad. And it’s in a sense censorship. The intended effect. Trump raised this cruel bunch to new levels, precisely to intimidate ANYONE who gets in his way. We CANNOT let this continue. Every one of us has a responsibility to fight back, or we will end up as sheep at slaughter.
