The image is a two-panel comic.
In the first panel, a person in a suit is speaking. They say, "ban this flag to protect our children," with the Progress Pride flag shown next to the text. The person is wearing a button with an elephant symbol, often associated with the Republican party.
In the second panel, a small figure responds, "banning child marriage and child labor would protect me, actually." The person in the suit replies with "f*ck off" while looking dismissive.

PMO: Benjamin Netanyahu decides full IDF occupation of Gaza | The Jerusalem Post
The Prime Minister's Office conveyed the message to the Chief of Staff: If this does not suit you, then you should resign.
Think about every pro-Israel person who denied this was the plan for the past 22 months; who gaslit you; denied this to you; pretended this wasn't the plan.
And then never believe those liars about anything ever again.

Le Festival Fierté Montréal dit être un espace pour toutes les personnes de la diversité sexuelle et de genre, sans regard aux appartenances culturelles, religieuses, politiques ou autre. Dans ce contexte, nous exprimons notre désaccord avec la décision d'exclure le groupe juif montréalais Ga'ava qui fait partie de cette diversité et du pluralisme que le festival revendique. Le risque, pour nous, c'est de fractionner la Fierté et de diluer son message, ce qui serait dommage au vu de l'importance de la cause pour les droits des personnes LGBTQIA+ au Québec et dans le monde.
Le PQ : "théorie du genre", abstention lors d'une motion condamnant l'homophobie, silence lors de la publication du rapport du GRIS ou plus récemment celui d'Interligne.
Aussi le PQ : ouin exclure un groupe pronant le sionisme (aka progénocide palestinien) ça fracture la commu. LGBTQ+

US links $1.9 billion in state disaster funds to Israel boycott stance
The Trump administration said states and cities will not receive funding to prepare for natural disasters if they choose to boycott Israeli companies, according to an agency statement.
The Trump administration will deny emergency preparedness funds to cities and states boycotting Israel, which is heinous but unsurprising. The Trump admin literally wants its political enemies to die.
The American Jewish Committee supports the Trump admin’s policy. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

It isn't a coincidence that conservative outlets are publishing more and more pieces like this one. As abortion bans drive the maternal death rate up, they need to make women dying seem palatable—positive, even!

Il ne faut jamais taxer les gens qui ont de l'argent, parce que si tu taxes les gens avec de l'argent, ils vont s'en aller et tu ne pourras plus... heu... ne pas les taxer.
Anyway. Tout ça pour dire que les impôts et les taxes, ça devrait être juste pour les pauvres.

The economy is on the precipice of recession. That’s the clear takeaway from last week’s economic data dump. Consumer spending has flatlined, construction and manufacturing are contracting, and employment is set to fall. And with inflation on the rise, it is tough for the Fed to come to the rescue.
Unemployment remains low, but that’s only because labor force growth has gone sideways. The foreign-born workforce is shrinking, and labor force participation is declining. Telling is the economy-wide hiring freeze, particularly for recent graduates, and the decline in hours worked.
It’s no mystery why the economy is struggling; blame increasing U.S. tariffs and highly restrictive immigration policy. The tariffs are cutting increasingly deeply into the profits of American companies and the purchasing power of American households. Fewer immigrant workers means a smaller economy.
Any notion that the economic data misrepresents the reality of how the economy is performing is way off base. There are revisions to the data, even big revisions, but they universally say the economy is doing worse. That’s because it is.
BTW, the DOGE cuts are a key factor in the revisions—not because BLS has cut staff, although that can’t help, but because the government often reports payrolls to BLS late. It didn’t matter when government employment was stable, but now that it’s declining, the cuts are picked up in the revisions.
Trump is panicking because the economic numbers are giving a recession vibe.
