A two-panel satirical cartoon contrasts reactions to racial representation in historical and religious figures. The left panel, labeled "WHITE JESUS," shows a smiling person wearing a red baseball cap with heart-shaped eyes, clasped hands, and hearts floating overhead in admiration. The right panel, labeled "BLACK HELEN OF TROY," shows the same person recoiling in apparent outrage as their head explodes into a cloud-like burst, with raised hands emphasizing an exaggerated emotional reaction. The cartoon criticizes the inconsistent acceptance of depicting Jesus as white while strongly objecting to depicting Helen of Troy as Black.

Image 1 (tweet screenshot): A screenshot of a tweet by a verified user named John Jackson (@hissgoescobra). The tweet reads: “Imagine being a pilot hunted through 18,000 foot mountains, struggling for breath, and your clown-ass President is tweeting fucking war crimes while his son is making money off gambling whether you’ll live or die on Polymarket.” The background is dark mode, with the user’s profile photo visible at the top left.

Just just a reminder a five-year-old boy and a bunny hat spent more time in jail than any billionaire pedophile on Epstein’s client list. It’s a picture of the bunny hat a little boy.
Graphic featuring Rep. Becca Balint smiling against a stylized blue mountain background. Her name appears in bold yellow text above a large quote that reads: “I like to refer to myself as that scrappy little dyke from Vermont, but tonight I’m America’s scrappy little dyke! I’m a bare knuckle brawler with a heart, and that’s what we need right now! We need people that are going to bring the fight and do it with compassion for all people living in this country!”

Campaign graphic showing a seated older white man in a dark suit behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office, smiling toward the camera, with a younger Black man in a suit standing to his left. They are Donald Trump and candidate for Florida governor Byron Donalds respectively. An American flag and presidential seal are visible in the background.

Alt text: Screenshot of a San Francisco Chronicle social media post. Headline reads: “Hundreds of protesters took to San Francisco’s Ocean Beach on Saturday to create a piece of human art in response to recent fatal shootings by immigration agents in Minneapolis.” Below are two aerial photographs of Ocean Beach. In both images, hundreds of people stand arranged to spell large words in the sand: “ABOLISH ICE.” Above the letters are the phrases “WE HAVE EYES” and “NO MORE LIES,” with a U.S. flag placed between the phrases. The crowd outlines a rectangular border around the message. The beach, nearby road with parked cars, and green hills are visible in the background.
Alt text: Screenshot of two stacked posts. At the top is a post from Elon Musk’s verified X account reading: “They are trying to deflect responsibility to me from the truly guilty. I have NOT been to any of Epstein’s party, his plane or his island. But many others have. Those who have committed serious crimes need to be prosecuted.” Below it is a post from Harry Sisson stating: “Elon Musk asked Epstein what night will be ‘the wildest party on your island?’ in an email. Now, he’s hoping you don’t see it.” Beneath that text is a screenshot of an email exchange dated November 2012 showing an email from Elon Musk to Jeffrey Epstein that includes the line, highlighted in yellow: “What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?”
Screenshot of a Forbes social media post. The headline reads: “Billionaire Elon Musk said early Saturday he had ‘very little correspondence’ with Jeffrey Epstein and claimed emails he had sent to the late financier released Friday by the Justice Department could be ‘misinterpreted’ to smear his name.” Below the headline is a photo of Elon Musk speaking at the World Economic Forum, wearing a black jacket and black T-shirt, gesturing with both hands at a podium. At the bottom, a link preview reads: “Elon Musk Says His Emails With Jeffrey Epstein Are ‘Misinterpreted’.”
Cream-colored graphic from The Don Lemon Show featuring a statement titled “Statement from Abbe Lowell, Attorney for Don Lemon.” The text states that Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents in Los Angeles while covering the Grammy Awards, describes him as a journalist of 30 years, and argues his reporting in Minneapolis was constitutionally protected under the First Amendment. It criticizes the Trump Justice Department for arresting Lemon instead of investigating federal agents who killed two peaceful Minnesota protesters, calling the arrest an unprecedented attack on press freedom and a distraction from broader crises. The statement says Lemon will fight the charges vigorously in court. At the bottom is a stylized black-and-white illustration of Don Lemon holding a microphone labeled “DL.”
Screenshot of a Guardian US social media post with the headline, “Prosecutors say cuts to funding and training limits their ability to bring child predators to justice.” Below the headline is a graphic showing a dark silhouette of a crouched figure layered over a yellow Internet Crime Complaint Center form. Beneath the image is a second headline reading, “‘Disheartening’: US justice department slashes funding to programs combating child sex trafficking,” with The Guardian logo at the bottom.
I Saw the Smiley Face ——————————— I saw the smiley face. I saw the smiley face you put on that horrific story. One more person brutalized by the police. One more family torn apart by ICE. One more horrific quote from an elected leader. I saw your smiley face. You used to write long comments. You used to assert an opinion. I thought you were wrong, but it told me something. It gave me some insight into how you were thinking, into how much you had changed since we were kids. Or maybe how much I had. But I wanted you to know I saw it. On that post. And the one before. And the one before that. And I know, or at least I think I know, you believe that smiley face is an act of defiance. A way of letting me know you disagree. But what I see is someone who is now afraid to even try to articulate a position that defends these monstrosities. These horrors. Those of you who talk about the Second Amendment talk about defending individual freedoms. About having the tools to stand up to a tyrannical government that tramples personal sovereignty. And yet you are watching the federal government, kill people. Shoot them. Harass families. Violate property rights. Create camps where people are concentrated under horrific conditions. You want to tell yourself this is about rounding up hardened criminals. People who do violence in our streets. But you cannot find the words to explain agents in courtrooms kidnapping people who are doing exactly what you swear matters. Following the legal process. You cannot explain people snatched from their jobs. High school students tackled on their campuses. You do not have the words. Because if you tried to put it into words, the screen would become a mirror. And you would have to look at yourself. And that is something you are not willing to do. So yes. I saw the smiley face. And it told me more than your words ever have. - me
Alt text: Screenshot of a Facebook post by Joseph Fasano. The post reads, “I can’t stop thinking of all the poets slain by tyranny. Today I hear the voice of Federico García Lorca, slain by fascists in 1936.” Below the text is an image of a poem titled “Lorca,” credited to Joseph Fasano, with the subtitle “after Neruda.” The poem reflects on being silenced by one’s country, facing execution, hearing birds and the heart remain strong, and urging others to go on. It ends with the repeated line, “They can kill the singers but they cannot kill the song.”

Elon Musk's tweets: Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT! Then he has a follow up text from Musk: Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out.

THE SUSPECTED DRUG TRAFFICKERS, the lone survivors of a U.S. airstrike, were sprawled on a table-size piece of floating wreckage in the Caribbean for more than 40 minutes. They were unarmed, incommunicado, and adrift as they repeatedly attempted to right what remained of their boat. At one point, the men raised their arms and seemed to signal to the U.S. aircraft above, a gesture some who watched a video of the incident interpreted as a sign of surrender. Then a second explosion finished the men off, leaving only a bloody stain on the surface of the sea. Footage of the two men’s desperate final moments made some viewers nauseated, leading one to nearly vomit. “It was worse than we had been led to believe,” one person told us.

Infographic titled “Days House Republicans Have Worked in the Last 3 Months.” It shows a three-month calendar for August, September, and October. A key indicates red squares as “worked” and gray squares as “did not work.” • August: all days gray, meaning no work days. • September: red squares on September 2–4, 8–11, and 15–19, showing only 11 workdays. • October: all days gray, meaning no work days. The image highlights that House Republicans worked only a small number of days in September and none in August or October.
