Gloria Steinem remains a central figure in American feminism decades after her rise to prominence. Her work helped popularize second-wave ideas on equality and reproductive rights.

The piece takes the position that these symbols remain central to the rapper's enduring image and the broader problems they represent.

Taylor Jones draws a bottle of Mezcal Gusano FBI, labeled as a producto de MAGA, with a worm at the bottom that has the face of Kash Patel, eyes wide and mouth open in apparent freak-out. The image plays on the tradition of mezcal with a gusano, or worm, inside the alcohol bottle, tying it to political themes of FBI director, justice department, and law enforcement. The worm's expression suggests inebriation or passing out, evoking ideas of drunkenness and dereliction of duty. This satirical take uses the moth larva in agave booze to comment on the 100 proof intensity of MAGA influence in such appointments. The cartoon stays simple, focusing on the bottle and its contents without added context.
Taylor Jones draws a sharp contrast in this cartoon, with a pope-like figure in white robes and glasses, hands clasped, delivering the Sermon on the Mount line from Matthew 5:9 about blessed peacemakers being children of God. Beside him stands a blonde-haired man in a suit, halo above, mouth open in response, twisting John 3:16 to claim the Strait of Hormuz as a divine gift, or soon to be, labeled Don 3:16. The piece nods to Catholic Church teachings against a backdrop of Persian Gulf tensions, war in Iran, and oil exports disruptions. It's a dry poke at how leaders bend scripture for geopolitical gains, like controlling the Strait of Hormuz to spike crude prices. Vatican serenity meets brash claims, all in watercolor style on purple background.

Tags like Kash Patel, Alexis Wilkins, country music, Nashville singer, corruption, and incompetence frame this political cartoon's jab at abuse of office and justice department issues.
