Cartoon by artist Lalo Alcaraz satirizing the iconic 1917 “Uncle Sam/I Want You” U.S. Army recruiting poster by James Montgomery Flagg. In Alcaraz’s rendition, Uncle Sam has been replaced by a menacing ICE agent with a black hood mask, ballistic vest, and a red arm band with a swastika-like “T” logo on it. He is pointing his index finger at the reader, and the bold-faced text—bordered by thin, red and blue rectangular stripes reminiscent of the original poster design—now reads: COWARDS! LOSERS! THUGS! BAD CREDIT? NO MORALS? VIOLENT? BAD CREDIT? J6 VETERAN? I WANT YOU TO JOIN ICE! SEPARATE FAMILIES! DESTROY LIVES! RACIALLY PROFILE! EARN MORE THAN TEACHERS! INVADE SCHOOLS!

Thank you for standing up when so many are kneeling in front of the false king. We need you to fight for us!

Disappointed in the targeted firings of the remaining journalists of color at MSNBC. The lack of color is astounding, especially tragic is the firing of Joy Reid. Joy Reid @joyreid

Zelenskiy Out in Cold as US Discusses Ukraine’s Fate With Russia Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is casting around for scraps of second-hand information as officials from the US and Russia discuss the future of his country.

The US and Russia opposed inviting Ukraine to today’s talks, despite Saudi Arabia’s proposal, Bloomberg reports. Zelensky called it a "surprise".

They must not teach about the "Dust Bowl" and how people looked down on the "Okies" who lost everything and had to leave their precious state due to poor land management and climate.
