Cartoon by @laloalcaraz.bsky.social
Cartoon by artist Lalo Alcaraz satirizing the iconic 1917 “Uncle Sam/I Want You” U.S. Army recruiting poster by James Montgomery Flagg. In Alcaraz’s rendition, Uncle Sam has been replaced by a menacing ICE agent with a black hood mask, ballistic vest, and a red arm band with a swastika-like “T” logo on it. He is pointing his index finger at the reader, and the bold-faced text—bordered by thin, red and blue rectangular stripes reminiscent of the original poster design—now reads: COWARDS! LOSERS! THUGS! BAD CREDIT? NO MORALS? VIOLENT? BAD CREDIT? J6 VETERAN? I WANT YOU TO JOIN ICE! SEPARATE FAMILIES! DESTROY LIVES! RACIALLY PROFILE! EARN MORE THAN TEACHERS! INVADE SCHOOLS!

Disappointed in the targeted firings of the remaining journalists of color at MSNBC. The lack of color is astounding, especially tragic is the firing of Joy Reid. Joy Reid @joyreid
