It’s Sunday, and it’s time for another “picdump!” Here are the memes, pictures, and cartoons floating around the internet that I found interesting or relevant this week. Share and enjoy!
This trash recently appeared on my Facebook feed:
Jim Stewartson, author of the newsletter MindWar: The Psychological War on Democracy, has already done the math on this “100 million deportations” number, so I’ll simply quote the figures from his recent piece, Happy Race War! (Or anything but the Epstein Files):
To put this number in perspective:
- The total number of undocumented immigrants in America is about 14 million.
- The total number of foreign-born people in America—including naturalized citizens—is about 53 million.
- The total number of Black and Hispanic people in America is about 110 million.
- 100 million is almost a third of the total U.S. population.
- Millions would necessarily die in any such process.
- The economy would collapse.
And yeah, Yours Truly, although legally here, would probably get included in that number, all for the sole reason that I probably don’t fit in the current administration’s view of the sort of people they’d like to see remaining in this country.
The “besieged by the third world” line comes straight from the 1973 dystopian fiction / racist manual Le Camp de Saints (published in English as The Camp of the Saints), which former Trump strategist Steve Bannon uses as a reference (as do many high-ranking bigots).
Expect more of this as the administration ramps up with race war in Minnesota.

A special picdump for the start of 2026!
It’s NOT Sunday, but it IS New Year’s Day, and I have a lot of extra pictures this week, so why not a bonus “picdump?” Here are the memes, pictures, and cartoons floating
around the internet that I found this week and I thought captured the spirit of the moment. Happy New Year, and share and enjoy!
And finally…

One last thought for 2025…
The eight days from Christmas to New Year, traditionally known as the Christmas Octave, are a strange time for those of us in the working world. Some of us are back at work, some of us aren’t, and it feels like we’re simultaneously busy and getting nothing done at the same time.
This special picdump is all about the Octave — enjoy!

Images of the moment
In case you missed it, Stephen Miller, Homeland Security Advisor and racist so awful that even his uncle has denounced him in an op-ed, watched the 1967 Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra Family Christmas Show and was inspired to tweet:
“Watched the Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra Family Christmas with my kids. Imagine watching that and thinking America needed infinity migrants from the third world.”
Fortunately, he was taken to task by a number of responders who remembered that both Dino and Frank are themselves the children of immigrants…
Let’s also not forget this scene from this Frank Sinatra film, The House I Live In, where he explains what being American really means — and it’s not Miller’s definition of “American”…
Here’s Trump judicial nominee Justin Olson today, admitting than in 2015, he gave a sermon in which he said that “marriage was not intended for all people,” including “our handicapped friends or our persons with physical disabilities that might prevent the robust marriage that we’re called to.”
