Spelling test.
"If G H can stand for P as in Hiccough, If O U G H can stand for O as in Dough, If P H T H stands for T as in Phthisis, If E I G H stands for A as in Neighbor, If T T E stands for T as in Gazette, If E A U stands for O as in Plateau, Then the right way to spell POTATO should be: GHOUGHPHTHEIGHTTEEAU"

Several hundred people form a human banner spelling out “IT WAS MURDER — ICE OUT!!” at San Francisco’s Ocean Beach during a protest Saturday in response to the recent fatal shooting in Minneapolis of Renee Nicole Good by a federal immigration agent.
📸: Erik Castro/Special to The SF Chronicle
Aerial photo of a beach, far enuf that people look like dots. They are standing in a formation spelling out "MURDER" next to a very large, upside down American flag signalling disaster. Words have been added to the photo so the message says: "It was MURDER. ICE OUT!!"

A poster full of text: Title: "Renee Nicole Good wasn't the first killed by ICE... In 2025 ICE murdered:" then there are two columns filled with names. The names are predominantly Latino and Asian. Then another title: "In 2026 ICE has murdered 2 people: those persons are named and they are Keith Porter and Renee Nicole Good.

Hold those killers accountable. May Rene Nicole Good rest in peace and may her family get justice for her unjustified murder.
Artist: Jesse Duquette. Large, empty white rectangle. In the bottom third of the picture is a large, hand-lettered word that says COWARDICE. The last three letters (ICE) are lettered across the vest of a masked, red-hatted man with shades on. The first part of the word, COWARD is black on white and the last part, ICE is white on black.

Flight 93 was headed towards Washington, D.C., probably towards either the U.S. Capitol or the White House. Passengers brought the plane down in a field in Pennsylvania and all lives were lost.
Blue rectangle with text: "In a country where ordinary citizens had the courage to give their lives to down a plane headed for mass tragedy (Flight 93), it is inconceivable that elected Republicans can't summon the courage to challenge an out-of-control president."

Political cartoon by John Buss. Belligerant figure of Trump with military epaulets and medals on his suit. Dialogue bubble says: "It's illegal to disobey my illegal orders."

The unforgiveable, unpresidential, vile behaviors just keep piling up. When's the impeachment happening? Very ready for that, a conviction and a removal followed by prosecution for the crimes he's committed so far.
This is a political cartoon by Dave Whamond, published on November 18, 2025. It shows an ugly, angry pig with Donald Trump's signature blond comb-over and orange make-up sneering at the small figure of a woman journalist holding a microphone. The Trump Pig is saying, "Quiet, Piggy!" which is what he said when a woman journalist asked him a question about the Epstein files.

A big problem for the mediocre, corrupt liars.
Red t-shirt with white and gray writing. Text: "The Far-Right is angry because they're being judged by the content of their character rather than by the color of their skin."

Don't know the source, but hilarious!
Out of perspective map of NYC with big arrow pointing to Staten Island. Text says: "BREAKING: Cuomo has fled the NYC mainland following its fall to socialist Zohran Mamdani. Sources say he will establish a new govt on Staten Island with the goal of eventually reclaiming the entire city. Mamdani has promised to purge all remaining Cuomintang on the mainland."

"Psychedelic western" themed poster with Elmo in a cowboy hat smiling and waving. Text says: "Call me crazy, partner, but I'd rather have my tax dollars go to healthcare and SNAP instead of I.C.E. terrorizing kids and families in Chicago, but I guess I'm crazy."

A table with three in the top row, three in the bottom row. Each has an orange Venn diagram showing the relationship between "Trick" and "Treat." From top to bottom, left to right: "Trick OR Treat", "Trick AND Treat", "Trick XOR Treat", "Trick NOR Treat", Trick NAND Treat", and "Trick XNOR Treat".

What are you doing on October 18? It's No Kings Day! No Kings, no tyrants, no billionaires.

Important truth.
The result of sadopopulism. Poor guy identifies as being against all these enemies, and doesn't really believe that government policy could help him. Rich guy doesn't disabuse him of this fallacy, and encourages it.
Two white men. On the left, a fat, MAGA-hat wearing working guy. On the right a bald guy in a suit smirking with a bag a cash and giving the thumbs up sign. On the left: "I vote Republican to keep foreigners, minorities, women, socialists, gays, and liberals from ruining my life." On the right: "I vote Republican to keep this moron from realizing I'm the only one ruining his life."

A classroom, teacher at the desk, students facing her. Teacher says, "Children, today we're going to learn code! It's important for a prosperous future!" Girl raises her hand and says, "Teacher, after that, could we learn how to survive in a civilization threatened by ecosystem collapse, rising sea levels and the resulting geo-political turmoil, armed conflict and the increasing polarization of ideological orientations, and humanity's seemingly insatiable appetite for stuff?"

War is hell.
Photo of a soldier (looks like WWII) sitting on a box outside a tent writing a letter: "My dearest, War truly is hell here in Portland. I have witnessed such atrocities in my short time here. The worst of which was a horde of naked cyclists riding by. It gives me chills to think of how many of them sat on their balls. My only thought now is to make it home to you. Love, your guardsman."

White lettering on black: "To the Chicago restaurants refusing to serve ICE, the businesses locking their doors when they show up, and the tow truck drivers hauling their vehicles away -- thank you. Stay Strong, Chicago.

Compare and contrast. 😀
"Evidence" supplied by Kash Patel, allegedly related to the shooting at the ICE detention center. Five bullets lying on a dark, possibly wet surface. Bullets scribbled on with marking pens, one says "Anti-ICE" Gary Larson cartoon. Dog hiding, thinking "Oh, please, oh please.." Cat peering into the clothes dryer and lots of hand-written signs with arrows pointing into the dryer saying "cat fud."

An apt observation. What is free speech anyway? Only for racists in power?
Post: Bishop Talbert Swan Caucasity is spending eight years calling the nation's first Black president, 'Barak the magic Negro,' 'boy,' and 'tar baby,' his wife a 'gorilla in heels,' because you have free speech... ...but now wanting to fire everyone who calls a deceased racist a racist.

Tom Homan sets the standard for due process, right? Give him his Tom Homan-style due process.
Post by btuckertime: Look, Tom Homan has not had a trial and has never been proven guilty. So let's all take a step back and do what he would do - send him to a secret prison in El Salvador until we can figure this out. Hearts 19.5k

MAGA = rolling the clock back to Jim Crow, Chinese Exclusion, and Kafkaesque censorship. Nothing "common sense" about that. White supremacy without a doubt.

Let's get a little liberty and equality in here! The U.S. we want is free and fair and respects the people!
Racist New Law in Texas Restricts Chinese Immigrants from Buying or Renting Homes. As of Sept 1, 2025, thousands of Chinese immigrants are among those banned from buying homes and signing apartment leases in Texas. This is all thanks to SB17, a racist new law legalizing housing discrimination and fueling hate against Asian people just because of where they come from.
