Michael De Adder political cartoon

The cartoon juxtaposes two famous photographs.

The foreground is a rendering of the image from the recent Murder of Alex Pretti where Alex has no gun visible and he is on his news surrounded by Ice agents with guns one pointing a gun at the back of his head / back

In the background is a famous Rittenhouse image carrying a large gun. Rittenhouse’s leg is labels Rittenhouse

The ICE agent pointing a gun at Alex in the cartoon is saying

“HE SHOWED UP TO A PROTEST WITH A GUN AND AMMUNITION AND
NO sign” paraphrasing Trump Regime erronious claims that they were allowed to kill Alex for his legally having a firearm. My understanding is that the location which ICE killed Alex was not a protest eaither further computing the Regime’s lies. The Ammunition comment is that Alex carried 2 clips of ammo which is reported to be a typical amount of ammo for a person who Carrie’s a handgun on their person to carry but that the Trump Regine has attmetorf to express as an extremist amount despite it being a typical amount. The no sign I assume is that many but not all people take signs to protests, agsin, Alex was not at a protest.

THer is a website on tbe carton that my screen reader can’t read legibly.

the thing is, there aren’t noble intentions here. the deployment of this many ICE resources in a state that has relatively few illegal immigrants shows that the point isn’t to enforce immigration law, it’s to punish people who defy Trump

Guys you can want illegal immigration handled without supporting a horrible overreach of government violating the freedom and rights of citizens. All government overreach sneaks in on the back of noble intentions.

109 years ago, on the 17th of January 1917, the United States bought the Virgin Islands from Denmark for 25 million dollars (614 million in 2024) in the Treaty of the Danish West Indies, in which the United States also recognized Denmark’s control over Greenland. #otd #history 🗃️

COMMENTARY: It seems an increasing number of Americans, including elected leaders and journalists, are afraid to tell the truth about what happened on January 6. That's dangerous.
