TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON
This cartoon has six panels. A caption at the top says "History, Rhyming."
PANEL 1
A close up of someone's hand lying limply on the ground, in sepia tones.
CAPTION: August 20, 1965: Civil rights activist Jonathan Daniels put himself between a deputy sheriff and the black teen the deputy was attacking. The deputy shot Daniels to death.
PANEL 2
A close up of a gloved hand lying limply on snowy pavement, a cell phone lying nearby. Drawn in blue tones.
CAPTION: January 24 2026: Anti-fascist activist Alex Pretti put himself between border protection agents and the woman the agents were attacking. The agents shot Pretti to death.
PANEL 3
This panel is divided in two, sepia on the left and blues on the right. On the sepia side, a man inn a suit sneers. On the right side, a man in a border patrol uniform sneers.
BOTH (in unison): He was intended to commit a massacre!
CAPTION (sepia side): Arthur Gamble: Corrupt prosecutor who threw the case.
CAPTION (blue side): Gregory Bovino: Border Patrol Commander.
PANEL 4
Another panel divided into sepia and blue sides. On the sepia side is a cheerful middle-aged man in a suit. On the right side are two masked Border Patrol agents.
ALL THREE (unison): I was in fear for my life!
CAPTION (sepia side): Tom Coleman, Daniels' murderer.
CAPTION (blue side): Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez, Pretti's murderers.
PANEL 5
On the sepia side, three people with 1960s haircuts are angrily yelling. On the blue side, same thing except with current-day hair and clothes.
ALL (unison): If he hadn't put himself where he didn't belong he'd still be alive! Cops have to make split-second judgements! Law! Order! Bark bark bark bark woof!
CAPTION: Boot-licking stooges.
PANEL 6
In a clearing, surrounded by grass, trees, and shrubs, two men talk to each other. One, wearing a clerical collar, is "Jonathan Daniels, 1939-1965." The other, wearing a winter jacket and baggy jeans, is "Alex Pretti, 1989-2026."

A fake ICE tip line reveals neighbors reporting neighbors
A Nashville comedianβs deportation hotline, set up as a joke, has gone viral among viewers who say it shows the βbanality of evil personifiedβ in the U.S. immigration crackdown.
New: A comedian set up a fake ICE tip line as a joke. Then 100 calls flooded in: neighbors ratting on neighbors, a teacher reporting a kindergartener. Fans say the viral TikToks revealed deportation's "banality of evil." Conservatives say he should be in prison wapo.st/4kM4qbF

The last time the UK had anything like the head of state *just personally even trying to decide who should get a pardon* was sometime 1822-1830 (and surprisingly reasonable sounding).
So for ~200 of the the 250 year history of the US, UK Kings have had considerably less power than US Presidents.

agree with this (hah) but also think a particular mistake the left made for a long time online, and still makes to an extent, is failing to understand that the person whose mind you may actually change is the one reading the argument you're having, not the one you're arguing with

A close perusal of the factbook would allow readers to understand the massive failure of countries that pursued the same kind of economic policies and endured the corruption that Trump has thrust upon us.
Itβs really not too shocking they discontinued it. They donβt want you to learn from history.

there are two things about this, one is that there is no prime minister of switzerland, he's talking about the president of the swiss confederation, which is a different thing entirely, and, two, i'm not sure you could make a more persuasive case to SCOTUS for nuking tariffs than this one

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.
