In Dallas, Texas, it's currently $2.999 per gallon for the lowest octane 87.
A gas pump display showing the price for regular gasoline at $2.999 per gallon. Below the price, there is a yellow button labeled "87 PRESS" indicating the octane rating of the fuel. The background is blue with "Regular" written in white at the top.

Just received a #Texas statewide #BlueAlert for an injured law enforcement officer. Why didn't they send one of these for the devastating flooding in #HillCountry? Why is a single cop's life more important than 100 children?
Alert Title: Public safety message Alert Contents: Blue Alert: Suspect is BENJAMIN SONG, wanted for involvement in the serious injury year old Asian male last seen in Alvarado, TX. Call the Federal Bureau of Investigation tipline with information. If seen call 9-1-1.

A meme of a large headstone in a grassy field with flowerpots on each side for Trump with the caption: "Please wash hands after urinating."

“Law and order” often means something different depending on who’s protesting. This comic makes the double standard impossible to ignore.
A satirical cartoon titled “A Field Guide to Civil Unrest” contrasts two types of protestors. On the left, labeled “Peaceful Protestors,” are three figures: a man in a MAGA hat holding a rifle and a “HANG PENCE” sign, the Capitol dome in the background, and the shirtless “QAnon Shaman” wearing a horned fur hat and face paint, with a noose and mob behind them. On the right, labeled “Violent Insurrectionists,” is a Latina woman holding a sign that says “IMMIGRANTS ARE HUMANS,” wearing a “End ICE” tank top and a face covering, standing beside a distressed child. The cartoon highlights how political and media narratives often invert the threat level of different protest groups based on ideology.

Titannamen Square parody titled "Tank Man 2.0" depicting Donald J. Trump's military parade in the USA, the tanks wave the Trump flag with mounted men & machine guns pointed at the sole protestor, with the sole protestor raising a "No Kings" sign in front of the tanks.

We don't bow to or yield to any monarch in the United States. We are a democracy.
A large red, black, and white poster, with the Statue of Liberty making a fist, captioned "If there's money for a parade, there's money for Medicaid!" "No Kings Day, June 14 12:00 PM Nationwide"
