Picture of a white businessman sitting between a white white guy in a construction outfit on the right and a black guy on the left. The white construction worker has a plate with one cookie on it in front of him. The black guy has no plate and no cookie. The rich guy has a plate of many, many cookies and is saying to the white guy, " careful mate... That foreigner wants your cookie!"

Happy Labor Day!!
Image of workers standing with signs. The title is "The Labor Movement! The folks that brought you..." And the signs the workers are holding represent all the benefits from unions such as health benefits, workers comp, the weekend, etc.

Cartoon with a man holding a sign that says no kings with three tanks heading toward him on the street with Trump flags flying above them. This recalls the iconic photo from the Tiananmen Square massacre in China.

The text notes the provision in the bill that allows Trump to defy court orders and forbid the court to do anything about it.
