Another classic, not sure if I've already posted this one here.
The image is a six panel black and white comic. 

Panel 1 - a girl sits at her desk in front of a computer, looking disheartened. She says, "I dont know if I should post this art, who would even want to see it?"

Panel 2- A new person bursts through the door in the background with a loud BAM

Panel 3- The new person pushes the girl out of the way, smushing her face in the process, while slamming their fist down on the keyboard. 

Panel 4- The computer shows that the art has been posted 

Panel 5- The person makes direct eye contact with the girl while pushing their finger against their own phone screen

Panel 6- A motion blur is added to the last panel, enhancing the impact of the new notifications on the new post. It reads, "(Friend) Liked Post just now" Followed by "(Friend) commented 'I FUCKING LOVE THIS AND I LOVE U'"

Underneath the last panel is a watermark that reads, Shubbabang

To put this in perspective chestnut trees used to be dominant species in the United States. Billions of trees were killed by fungal blight and now fully grown America chestnuts are functionally extinct. There is no getting them back. Ever. All for a data center. www.gadgetreview.com/one-of-ameri...

Blue-ringed octopuses (genus Hapalochlaena) are the only cephalopod whose venomous bite is potent enough to kill a human. However, they are docile and won't bite unless provoked or hunting. So keep your distance and don't make them feel threatened or be a crustacean and you'll be safe. #OCTOtober
A Greater Blue-ringed Octopus (Hapalochlaena lunulata) swimming against a black background. Its mantle is relatively thin and the tip gets much thinner. The end of the mantle is out of focus. The octopus is looking at the camera, and it appears to be moving to the upper right, as most of its arms are trailing in that direction. One arms is going back and another is in front of its face and curving around. The arms have two rows of suckers that are offset. The octopus is yellow with many blue iridescent rings.A photo of a southern blue-ringed octopus (Hapalochlaena maculosa) striking a pose. It is leaning to the left (camera's left), with left arm raised up and  with half of it curled, and another one of it's left arms pointing left and with a quarter of it curled. The octopus is a pale brown-yellow with black patches with iridescent blue rings in the centre.A photo of a Blue-lined Octopus (Hapalochlaena fasciata) on the sandy sea floor among sea grass. The octopus appears to be moving, with its arms curled backwards. Its mantle is tear drop shaped or like a milkweed seed pod, gong to a rounded point. It is has its papillae raised. It is a pale yellow colour, with black or dark brown areas. Inside the dark areas, are iridescent blue circles or lines.A Greater Blue-ringed Octopus (Hapalochlaena lunulata) walking. Two arms are touching the ground, but its other arms are tucked close and curled. It is yellow, with some white on the the tip of its mantle, head and centre upper arms. It is covered in iridescent blue rings. It has bumpy skin due to having its papillae raised.

Black text on white background 
"This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss.
 
The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians—including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them – all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes.
 
Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment.
 
To honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity."

There are so many people, so many, that love film and want to dedicate their whole lives to making films, in front of the camera, behind it, in editing suites and casting rooms and makeup trailers. And that these locusts can come in and just devour the industry, take it from us all, is devastating.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a high school basketball game. The home team is down 9 points, and some players are looking discouraged on the bench. The coach points to a player just out of frame and says, “flippers, you’re in!” Panel 2: the away team attempts a deep 2-point shot, possibly to beat the buzzer, which is blocked by Flippers, a whale who doesn’t even have his arms up. Panel 3: the game ends and the home team excitedly crowd around Flippers, who won them the game. A player from the away team looks stunned, with his hands on his head.

Are they threatening trans users directly?
No. Trans folks in the US have been targeted repeatedly. That's awful and you have my sympathy.
Within the context of a single post we wouldn't consider it a direct threat or targeting a protected category. le send trans folks to concentration camps.

At the leadership level anyway the two parties are "represents billionaires with openly racist beliefs" and "represents billionaires who have mostly submerged their racist and genocidal beliefs." Which is why you can't get any party leadership to sign up for transformative change the people want.
