![A newspaper-style layout in which the central image is a group photo on a city street corner. On the left someone wearing a long, black, hooded cloak and red mask. To the right is a Black woman in sleek purple and gray powered armor who is giving this person bunny ears. She is being supported by floating water, which appears to be controlled by the person clinging to the side of a window above her: a stone-gray-skinned person with a tail and claws who has shoulder-length black hair and is wearing a red sweater with yellow chevrons over blue pants. In the center of the group is a muscular woman with light tan skin who is wearing hoplite-style armor and holding aloft a translucent glowy-gold spear that matches her round shield. Next in line is a fat, muscular man in a dark blue hoodie and gray camo pants and a black N95, plus face paint. He is clutching his forehead with his right hand. Holding on to his left arm is a person with pink skin and pink hair peeking out from beneath their blue onesie, which also has a beak, feathers, and space for their horns. In front of them is a St. Bernard dog who appears to be smiling and waving at the camera. A sign on a lamppost in the background says "Please no pictures with giant monsters".
Under the picture is the caption: Left to right: Chiropter, Water Weaver, Hex Wrench, Light Skirmisher, Anymorph, Captain Facepuncher, Blue Jay
Beneath is the beginning of a newspaper story:

ICE observers in Minnesota are skeptical about the White House's claims of a federal drawdown.
But they have noticed in recent weeks a shift from aggressive street sweeps in Minneapolis to instead target people in the suburbs or quietly waiting in unmarked vehicles of residential areas.

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading.
Now we’ve got mumps rolling up.
