If I had seen this frightening depiction during any other administration I would have been shocked to my core…..dystopian impossibility….. not anymore.

Couldn’t have said it better Sherri!

Perfect political statement for the epoch though, thanks for sharing such a sad political portrait!

There are only two words Americans should be contemplating at this time, once spoken by the late Flight 93 hero, Todd Beamer ...... LET'S ROLL!

🧵 I think I got your deepest meaning:

The ICE guy on the left has the killer’s hair. Nicely done!

——

So let’s say that guy is convicted of at least manslaughter. Federal trial, two-years long. So he gets at least a 10 years prison term.

Trump pardons him when he’s supposedly leaving, in 2029. So the guy serves maybe 2️⃣ years in jail?

In 2029, those kids still have no mom, 😢!

Hopefully they can charge him at the state level where Trump's pardons are invalid. Unfortunately the PBI* are all over the case now. *Patel Bureau of Investigation

Bureau of incompetence you mean. How many decent agents are still there holding on?

Exactly, add a civil court case to the docket as well. It’s how MLK’s family received fair financial compensation, although $ never can never replace the love and life lost!

He won't be punished.

More likely they will arrest her wife on some trumped up charge.

I wonder if Trump would bother to pardon him - this is not directly related to Trump, unlike the Jan 6 Insurrection.

It really is. And now, the Trump admin. has frozen food stamps for Minnesota!

Cruelty is the point.

Honestly i don't know where to put myself. MAGA, surprisingly, because they LOOK human, has no shame, no morality.

This reminds me of the film "Soldier", with Kurt Russell. I know, that is science fiction, but one scene showed something that would have been considered impossible ... till today. Future soldiers shoot at terrorist cardboard cut-outs. One of them slides behind the cut-out of a mother holding a baby. None of the students shoots. Suddenly, either cut-out is shot to pieces. Russell did it. To "kill" the terrorist, he had to "kill" the mother and child.

🧵Mm, 😒‼️

Might as well put a shot or two in the baby’s head…. After all, he/she no longer has a mother, 😒‼️

By all means. Unfortunately, I'm old enough to recollect it's use in Vietnam.

🧵Me too, born in 1960. I remember the casualty reports on our family’s news network, NBC, & their evening news, The Huntley-Brinkley report. Remember the My Lai massacre, etc.

That’s where the joke comes from, of course. And Trump is just as toxic! Maybe more so‼️

Ditto, killed a couple friends, that managed to survive the war. My next door neighbor died from his service, housed by burn pits full of depleted uranium… different war same results Jamie!

Well done, Mr. De Adder. What is happening is horrifying. The toon is not much of an exaggeration. Will the latest tragedy shame the GOP congress into doing something? Or will more of them ditch their jobs, criticize the state of things they allowed, and retire with their lifetime pensions and health insurance?

Well, "Like" isn't the really appropriate response, except for the artistic skill, especially as the baby is sure to be next. This maladministration is run by evil barbarians.
