Well, it’s in the Oxford English Dictionary, so I will allow my official English language response to this to speak for itself:

These two images NEED to be side by side.
Image of (draft) cartoon by Ann Telnaes (@anntelnaes.bluesky.social) showing Mark Zuckerberg(Facebook & Meta founder and CEO), Sam Altman (AI CEO), Patrick Soon-Shiong (LA Times publisher), Mickey Mouse (representing the Walt Disney Company/ABC News), and Jeff Bezos (Washington Post owner) genuflecting before and offering up bags of cash to a statue of Donald Trump — a cartoon which was rejected by the Washington Post, prompting Ann Telnaes’ resignation. Screenshot of post by @keithedwards.bsky.social which reads: “Donations to Biden's inaugural fund in 2021: Meta = $0 Tim Cook = $0 Sam Altman = $0 Google = $200,000 Amazon = $200,000 Donations to Trump's inaugural fund in 2025: Meta = $1,000,000 Tim Cook = $1,000,000 Sam Altman = $1,000,000 Google = $1,000,000 Amazon = $1,000,000 The oligarchy is here.”

And don’t just read the post — read the linked article, too
Screenshot from previously linked article: “In terms of the optics, the two demonstrations could not have diverged more. While the Nazis wore masks and traveled to the Short North piled together in the back of a rented U-Haul cargo van, Sunday’s marchers arrived by car, bus and on foot, and then proceeded to walk with their faces purposely uncovered. The three interviewed also noted a difference in terms of the response from police when compared with other demonstrations (a 2020 study showed police are three times more likely to use force against left-wing protesters). While the Nazis were briefly detained after officers stopped their cargo van near West Goodale Street and State Route 315, they were allowed to proceed freely. And on Monday, Columbus police released a statement saying that while video evidence showed the Nazis had deployed pepper spray, ‘to date, probable cause has not been established to make any arrests.’ ‘And I hate to admit it, but if that had been a group of Black men in a U-Haul, I guarantee we’d have been detained for at least a day,’ Winston said. “

El Norte. The last time I watched it was in the 1980s and I still can’t bring myself to watch it again. So good, but I’m still gutted. 🥺
Movie poster for “El Norte” (1983). Illustration of a man and woman in foreground; the woman slightly in front of the man, wearing a colorful striped wrap around her head and shoulders. In the background, the dark silhouette of mountains take the shape of a dove, against a light blue sky.

Just wait till you get to the frozen foods section!
Screenshot of 2017 tweet by user @paigealban23 with the caption “My mom just sent me this of my dad.” Photo shows a man in a blue T-shirt wrapping his arms around himself as if he is very cold, standing in front of a supermarket freezer case which is labeled “Frozen Hispanic”.

From the incomparable Lalo Alcaraz, back in 2022, no less. Never been more relevant.

Single-panel cartoon from the GREAT Lalo Alcaraz. A man with dark hair and a dark mustache is looking at a political poster with the words “Latinos! Vote Republican” above and “Stop Immigration” below a central image. The central image is actually a mirror reflection of the man himself. Cartoon dated 2022.
