Meme that says “Best I can do is memes”
A wild screed of text I sent my dad showing how he’s an unthinking link consumer, one that he’ll never reply to.
A page from the comic The Boys where the protagonist is in an Irish bar on St Patrick’s Day, a drunken group of revelers decked in green come in, and the Irish bartender proceeds to inform them that their shenanigans are unwelcome.

An article describing the ICE invasion of Chicago. I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues' pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening | stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next.
