A four-panel cartoon published October 16, 2025, shows Donald Trump vowing to terminate every diversity, equity and inclusion program across the federal government. In the final panel the figure transforms into Pierre Poilievre, who completes the sentence while wearing an MCGA pin and declaring Canada First. The image draws a direct parallel between the two leaders' positions on federal equity initiatives. It was created by Graeme MacKay of The Hamilton Spectator.

The cartoon by John Cole published April 21, 2025, shows a school district perched on Donald Trump's head, waving a resist sign. Large text reads Teach Freely and D.E.I. Hard. The image responds to ongoing disputes between the Trump administration and public schools over diversity, equity and inclusion programs. Schools have pushed back against federal efforts to limit such initiatives and related discussions of race, gender and pronouns. The parody draws on the Die Hard film series to frame the resistance.

The cartoon depicts the Harvard University crest with its traditional books replaced by ones spelling out a profane rejection. Published amid tensions between the university and the Trump administration over diversity programs, the image captures institutional pushback. The visual replaces the Latin motto with blunt English words across the three books on the red shield. This directly references recent disputes involving federal funding conditions and campus policy reforms. The artist's signature appears at the bottom left with a Cagle.com credit.
