A meme shows a scene from *The Sopranos* with Tony Soprano sitting at a dining table, leaning forward and gesturing with one hand as he speaks with an intense expression. The table in front of him is covered with empty wine glasses and a large round-bottomed wine jug wrapped in straw. Above the image, white text on a black background reads: All I'm saying Carmella is if the 'I' in AIPAC stood for Italian, they'd be calling it a mafia organization. A bunch of Italians in congress sending billions of dollars to Italy for military aid?--we couldn't get away with that shit.

A scene from Futurama shows a distressed man in a run down alleyway crouched in front of a red vending machine labeled in large yellow letters: "Refreshing! CRACK" The machine is filled with green glass pipes resembling drug paraphernalia. The man has a scruffy beard and wears a white shirt with a green zigzag stripe and brown pants. He is anxiously pressing one hand to the machine directly in front of his face while the other reaches upward, clawing desperately at the top of the glass surface of the machine.

A scene from the film Interstellar shows an astronaut in a white NASA spacesuit strapped into a spacecraft seat, leaning back with their eyes partly closed. Dim control panels and equipment fill the background of the spacecraft interior. Yellow subtitle text at the bottom of the image reads: This little maneuver is gonna cost us 51 years

A screenshot from Futurama, focused on Hedonism Bot. A large golden robot reclines in a lounge chair, holding a bowl of purple grapes on his belly while lifting a small bunch with one hand. Bender is standing by, listening. Yellow subtitles at the bottom read: I trust the orgy pit has been scraped and buttered?

A three-panel sequence from an episode of The Simpsons ("Bart Gets Famous") shows a classroom scene featuring Bart Simpson and his classmates. In the first panel, several children crowd around Bart’s desk, leaning in with wide grins and excited expressions. They appear eager and animated as they look toward the camera. In the second panel, Bart sits slouched at his desk with a weary, downcast expression. His eyelids droop and his mouth hangs slightly open, conveying exhaustion or resignation. A classmate smiles beside him. In the third panel, the entire classroom erupts in celebration. All the children leap from their seats with their arms raised high, mouths open in joyful shouting. Bart stands among them looking small and overwhelmed as the chaos surrounds him.

We need more sunglasses.
Still image from a scene in the film They Live (1988). Two men stand in a grimy alley, a setting consistent with the film’s depiction of a city quietly controlled by hidden forces. The man in the plaid shirt, bruised and desperate, clutches the other man from behind as if trying to make him understand something crucial. The second man, wearing a dark long-sleeve shirt, lifts a pair of black sunglasses toward his eyes, unaware that in the film these glasses reveal the subliminal messages and disguised beings controlling society. Metal trash cans line the brick wall beside them, emphasizing the harsh, unnoticed corners of the city where the film’s revelations begin. Tall buildings rise in the distance, representing the everyday world that, in the story, looks ordinary until seen through the special glasses.

An image from the film Real Genius (1985). An empty lecture hall contains rows of gray seats, each with a small wooden desk holding a portable cassette recorder or tape player. At the front of the room, a wooden instructor’s desk supports a large reel-to-reel tape machine with two visible reels. Behind the desk, a chalkboard has handwritten text that reads: Math on tape is hard to follow, so: Please Listen Carefully

A political cartoon shows a weather vane shaped like Donald Trump’s head and upper torso, mounted on the roof of a house. His hair and long red tie blow dramatically in the wind as his mouth is open as if shouting. Each arm of the weather vane holds a different sign. One sign reads: DEMOCRATIC HOAX!!! Another sign reads: RELEASE THE FILES! Another sign reads: NOTHING TO SEE! Another sign reads: I DID NOTHING WRONG! The bottom left corner of the cartoon contains the artist’s signature, drawn in a loose, stylized script that reads “ROGERS.” Directly beneath the signature is a small icon resembling a square face. Next to the icon is the text: TINYVIEW.COM

A newspaper article Baseless attacks tearing down St. Tammany library For three years, the St. Tammany Parish Library has been under siege. What was once an award-winning system, praised for its service and innovation, has become the target of relentless attacks by a small but vocal group determined to vilify books, librarians and the very idea of free access to information. Instead of celebrating the library as a cornerstone of our community — a place where children discover reading, seniors find connection, and families learn together — this group has smeared staff with baseless accusations of “grooming” and “pedophilia.” These words are not only cruel; they are calculated to drive good people out of public service. They already succeeded in forcing out an award-winning director through harassment and name-calling. The library’s mission is simple: to provide access to knowledge for all. That means books for every reader, even if they don’t appeal to every taste. Efforts to censor, ban or stigmatize books are an attack on every citizen’s freedom to choose what they and their children read. St. Tammany deserves better. We deserve a library system free from political games and intimidation. We deserve respect for our librarians and staff, who serve thousands every week with professionalism and dedication. And we deserve to say with pride that in our parish, books are not enemies — they are lifelines to knowledge, culture and democracy. If we let fear and smear campaigns dictate what sits on our library shelves, we risk losing one of the best things about this parish: a library system that belongs to all of us. Enough is enough.

A political cartoon depicts an enormous anthropomorphic pig standing on two legs with a humanlike face, styled to resemble Trump through its exaggerated blond comb-over hair, furrowed brow, and scowling expression. The pig’s skin is rendered in mottled orange and pink tones, with visible bristles, deep shadowing, and fine ink lines that accentuate its snout, jowls, and angry eyes. The pig is wearing a suit jacket and extending one arm outward, with a tiny hand pointing an accusatory finger toward a woman on the right side of the image. The woman is a reporter holding a microphone, with long blond hair and a calm, slightly concerned expression as she looks up at the towering pig-shaped figure. QUIET, PIGGY!

A composite graphic is labeled at the top with a large red banner that reads BREAKING NEWS. The left side shows a portrait of Mary Bruce smiling in an outdoor setting. The right side shows the Saudi Crown Prince seated in a gold-trimmed room speaking with Donald Trump, who is gesturing with his hand. Below the images, large yellow text on a black background reads: WOW! Mary Bruce, an ABC Reporter, just CLOBBERED Trump and the Saudi Crown Prince with TWO of the best questions. “Is it appropriate, Mr. President, for your family to be doing business in Saudi Arabia while you're president? Is that a conflict of interest? And your royal highness, the US intelligence concluded that you orchestrated the brutal murder of a journalist. 9/11 families are furious that you are here in the Oval Office.” GREAT QUESTION! Trump went on to call her fake news but that’s literally his ONLY move when he’s cornered. He had NO real answer, NO defense, and NO way to spin getting absolutely hammered by the truth on live TV! And after that EPIC exchange, Mary should be nominated for a Pulitzer Prize RIGHT NOW! 👏👏👏 Below this, yellow text reads: SMASH THE 💙 IF YOU THINK MARY DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB! At the bottom left, a black box with white text reads CALL TO ACTIVISM.

Clemency for drug offenses Throughout his presidency, Trump has pardoned or commuted the sentences of people convicted of federal drug crimes, including some high-level offenders. • Larry Hoover: In May 2025, Trump commuted the sentence of Larry Hoover, a former leader of the Gangster Disciples street gang who was convicted of federal charges related to directing a massive, violent drug trafficking operation from prison. The Gangster Disciples were described by a former U.S. attorney as one of the largest and most violent drug syndicates in the country. • Ross Ulbricht: In January 2025, Trump pardoned Ross Ulbricht, the founder of the dark web marketplace Silk Road, which became a major hub for illegal drug trafficking. Federal prosecutors noted that Ulbricht had also solicited murders-for-hire to protect his enterprise.

A political cartoon shows a large pig-man (Trump) with a distinctive blond comb-over bent forward and shouting at a female reporter. Above him, the phrase QUIET PIGGY is written in large, messy black letters. The man’s face is contorted in anger as he points at the reporter while his long red tie drags on the ground. He has a hamburger stuffed into his tiny hand, and he stands beside spilled fast-food wrappers and a tipped-over ketchup bottle splattered on the ground. The reporter, holding a notepad labeled PRESS, looks startled as other silhouetted journalists stand behind her with microphones and raised hands. The artist’s signature “Bagley” and the URL “cagle.com/bagley” appear in the lower left corner.

A political cartoon shows a large green dinosaur labeled EPSTEIN FILES looming over the White House while breathing multicolored flames and smoke. The creature’s attack appears to target the building as small debris and an American flag fly through the air. A speech bubble on the left side of the image contains the text: ON SECOND THOUGHT… SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT AGAIN! The foreground shows the White House lawn with a curved path leading toward the building. The cartoon uses sketchy black linework with green, yellow, and blue shading to depict the landscape and dinosaur.

In the right panel, a banner at the top reads: "How it's going:" The woman says: "WE'RE REDUCING TARIFFS SO WE CAN BRING DOWN THE HIGH PRICES..." In both panels, the backdrop shows the White House emblem and the podium label reads: THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON

From: Michael Wolff Sent: 3/11/2019 8:08:25 PM To: Jeffrey Epstein [jeeyacation@gmail.com] Subject: FYI Importance: High This is what I'm now going with—what do you think? In the White House, the President, to general surprise, announced that he would not accompany his family to Mar-a-Lago over the holidays—a confounding, even alarming, turn for anyone who knew how much he valued a golf-and-warm-weather opportunity over any presidential business. Melania certainly had no intention of staying behind. Among other issues, friends suggested that she was still furious about his fireside Christmas Eve chat with a seven-year-old boy, during which Trump asked the boy if he still believed in Santa. "Melania didn't think that was funny," said one aide. Trump was "clearly a guy who had never dealt with a seven-year-old." In an empty White House, Trump's personal secretary, 28-year-old Madeleine Westerhout, brought his papers and call sheets from the West Wing up to the residence, finding him, she told friends, in his underwear. And herein, suddenly, was another subplot. Westerhout had been the elevator girl in Trump Tower during the transition. The comely young woman ferrying dignitaries and job-seekers up to the President-elect soon became something of a meme herself. Bannon recalled noting that Trump took a particular interest in her. A leering Trump kept repeating, "She's got a way about her," his signature, and creepy, stamp of approval for young women. Now the president was telling friends that he wasn't staying at the White House because of the shutdown—he was staying because he was "banging" Madeleine. Shutdown bravado? Locker room talk? Or all part of a new alternative reality that only he seemed to be living in?" HOUSE OVERSIGHT 030880

A political cartoon shows Donald Trump seated behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office, leaning forward with his hands clasped and a worried expression. A speech bubble above him reads: HOW DO I MAKE PEOPLE STOP TALKING ABOUT EPSTEIN? To the right, an advisor holding papers responds in a separate speech bubble: YOU COULD STOP ACTING LIKE YOU’RE GUILTY. Behind Trump, large windows with heavy drapes frame the scene, and American flags stand on either side. To the left of the desk, a statue of Lady Justice holding scales is positioned prominently. A framed portrait of Abraham Lincoln hangs on the wall behind Trump. The artist’s signature, “de Adder thecontrarian,” appears in the lower left corner.

A tweet from Steve Inskeep (@NPRinskeep) reads that he is sharing three paragraphs from the New York Times. Below the tweet is a screenshot of text that says: When a trove of Jeffrey Epstein’s emails were made public this week, Donald J. Trump’s name was all over them. But on Friday, when Mr. Trump demanded that the Justice Department investigate a list of powerful men mentioned in the emails, his own name was nowhere to be seen — he had singled out only Democrats. Equally remarkable was how quickly Attorney General Pam Bondi acquiesced to his demand, even though four months ago the Justice Department formally declared that nothing in the Epstein files warranted further investigation. That about-face, as much as any action Ms. Bondi has taken this year, demonstrated the near-complete breakdown of the Justice Department’s traditional independence to prosecute cases based on facts and the law, as opposed to presidential fiat. And, crucially, it could foreclose any further disclosures of the Epstein files.

The post reads: BREAKING: Department of Labor data shows that the Trump Organization has requested a record 184 foreign workers for 2025 across Mar-a-Lago, two golf clubs, and a Virginia winery. So while Trump pushes to detain and deport immigrants to torture prisons, he’s simultaneously relying on foreign labor to keep his businesses running and profits flowing. F--king hypocrite!
