Here's an alt-text description of the image:

This is a political cartoon with a strong visual impact, featuring a cracked American flag background. A large gavel is positioned diagonally across the center of the image, appearing to have broken the flag. The American flag is depicted with its traditional red and white stripes and a field of white stars on a blue background, but it's visibly fractured and splintered around the point of impact with the gavel. The gavel itself is brown with a gold-colored striking surface, and is detailed with wood grain texture. The text "SUPREME COURT" is written on the gold surface of the gavel in black capital letters. The artist's signature "Bennett" is in the upper right corner, along with the text “Chattanooga Times Free Press” above it.

A black-and-white cartoon depicts a tense scene with several people and police officers. The foreground shows a police officer standing with their back to the viewer, holding a gun pointed forward. Behind the officer are several demonstrators holding signs that read "I HATE COPS", "STOP POLICE BRUTALITY", and "POLICE REVIEW BOARD NOW". A counter with items visible behind the officer seems to be a pawn shop. The cartoon is signed "R. COBB" and has the year "1966" in the bottom left corner, with a statement that reads "THIS CARTOON IS FROM 1966. YOU CAN'T REFORM THE POLICE".

A black and white cartoon depicts a line of uniformed people standing at attention, facing a person also in uniform who is standing in front of a whiteboard. The person at the whiteboard is pointing towards it with one hand. The whiteboard has text on it that reads “Operation Circular Reasoning” with an accompanying circular arrow diagram. The uniformed people all appear to be wearing military-style hats and carrying rifles. Below the cartoon is text that reads: “We’re being deployed because of the protests about us being deployed.”

A comic panel depicts a person presenting a diagram to a group of people. The diagram is a simplified street map with dashed lines indicating routes for cars and bikes. To the left of the diagram is the label “CARS BIKES” with a small car and bicycle icon beside it. The diagram shows “MAIN STREET” with arrows indicating car routes going straight and bike routes curving around. A person stands to the right of the diagram, pointing with their right hand, while a group of four people stand facing the diagram, appearing to listen. The text at the top of the panel reads: "CITIES GO OUT OF THEIR WAY TO ACCOMMODATE BICYCLES". Below the diagram it states: "NO NEED TO TAKE AWAY OR DRIVING LANES ON MAIN STREET. WE'LL GIVE BIKES THIS GREAT PARALLEL ROUTE!".

Here's an alt-text description of the image:

The image is a brightly lit stage photograph featuring a performer mid-action, likely during a concert. The performer is wearing a shiny, silver, asymmetrical outfit and high-heeled boots. They are standing with one leg bent and arms outstretched, appearing to be in a dynamic pose. A microphone is visible on a stand in front of them, and a blurred audience is in the background. Overlaid on the image is text that reads: "LET'S BE CLEAR: IF YOU BELIEVE THE GOVERNMENT BELONGS IN A WOMAN'S UTERUS, A GAY PERSONS BUSINESS OR MARRIAGE, OR THAT RACISM IS OKAY- THEN PLEASE IN THE NAME OF YOUR LORD NEVER FUCKING LISTEN TO MY MUSIC AGAIN. AND ALSO FUCK RIGHT OFF. WE GOOD?" In the top right corner, there is a logo with the text "SHE CAN".

The image is a black square with white text. The text is centered on the square. It reads: "If polluting industry executives got hard time for their pollution, those industries would figure out how to not pollute really quick." Below this text, in a smaller font, is the phrase "just a thought." The overall aesthetic is minimalist and direct, resembling a text post or meme format.

Mayor Brandon Johnson of Chicago is on fire this morning!


He just signed an executive order prohibiting ICE from using private or public property for staging after a weekend when children were zip tied in their underwear in the street in the middle of the night and Chicago police were later tear gassed by federal agents.

And now, her Edisto Beach home was set ablaze

Her husband, 76, broke both legs jumping from the 2nd floor. Others were badly hurt.

Political violence is wrong.

Here's an alt-text description of the image:

The image is a text-based graphic, resembling a "hack" or tip, presented in a list format with numbered points. The background color is a light pastel green. The graphic begins with the heading “MEDICAL HACK: So, your doctor ordered a test or treatment and your insurance company denied it. That is a typical cost saving method.” Below this, a numbered list provides instructions:

  1. "Call the insurance company and tell them you want to speak with the “HIPAA Compliance/Privacy Officer” (By federal law, they have to)."
  2. "Then ask for the NAMES as well as CREDENTIALS of every person accessing your record to make decision of denial. By law you have a right to that information."
  3. "They will almost always reverse the decision very shortly than admit that the committee is made of low paid HS graduates, looking at “criteria words,” making the medical decision to deny your care. Even in the rare case it is made by medical personnel, it is unlikely that it is made by a board certified doctor in that specialty and they DO NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW THIS!"
  4. "Any refusal should be reported to the US Office of Civil Rights (OCR.gov) as a HIPAA violation.”

The graphic is signed “~BAA, RN” at the bottom. The overall tone suggests a method to navigate insurance denials by leveraging patient rights.

The image is a horizontal diptych, featuring two close-up photographs side-by-side. The photograph on the left shows a small, light-brown animal with dense, fluffy fur and small, rounded ears. The animal is looking directly at the camera with dark eyes. The photograph on the right shows a similar animal, with the same light-brown fur and dark eyes, but with slightly different positioning. The background in both images is blurred, with a dark-blue, textured fabric visible. The text "Oh my god is this a cat or a sheep?" is written above the images. The text "a shat" is written below the images, and "Dont call it that" is written below the second line of text.

In your original post, the Image is not showing for me here on Geraspora*.
That's why I included it with Markdown under your post and the post of yours that I shared.

@N. E. Felibata 👽 Ugh, Diaspora's getting on my nerves, someone else reported a similar problem with boosts from Diaspora, I swear we need someone to fork Friendica to be more like Diaspora or Mastodon and then convince everyone to only use that, since we can see all over here.

A digitally manipulated image depicts a cat’s head emerging from smoke rising from a golden lamp. The lamp is positioned at the bottom of the frame and appears to be a traditional genie’s lamp with a curved handle and a narrow spout. Above the lamp, a swirling, white smoke forms the shape of a cat’s head, complete with pointed ears, wide eyes, and a long, slender nose. The smoke extends downward, creating a wispy, ethereal form. The background is completely black, which highlights the white smoke and golden lamp.

Federal Agents Handcuff Chicago Alderperson At Hospital ER

A video of the Friday afternoon incident shows Fuentes at the hospital, asking federal agents if they had a signed warrant and telling the agents a man — who they had detained — has constitutional rights. Fuentes is not seen touching the agents, one of whom tells her he will arrest her if she does not leave.
Fuentes again asks the agents if they have a warrant, and an agent grabs Fuentes, spins her around and handcuffs her hands.

“This is an alderperson who is being under arrest,” a person off-screen says in the video.

“This is a hospital. Do you have a signed judicial warrant for him?” Fuentes says to the agents.

“We told you to leave,” says the agent who handcuffed Fuentes. “Now you are under arrest for impeding.”

Fuentes was led outside the hospital and released. She was told that if she went back inside, she would be arrested, witnesses said.
