«Claudia de Breij: This cartoon by Ann Telnaes was rejected by the Washington Post, the newspaper purchased by Jeff Bezos.
The creator has resigned because she believes that free press is a prerequisite for democracy. What if we spread this cartoon _en masse_ today?»
@ArnimRanthoron Um. I think you are misinterpreting the image, both misreading what is shown and also missing important details.
* The "big man" is a depiction of Donald Trump. His obesity is exaggerated.
* The size reflects power and status (of being president elect), and not that it's a statue, I think.
* Trump is depicted with tiny hands.
* Mickey is _genuflecting_ not dead.
* The figures offering moneybags are paying tribute.
* Two of them are recognisably Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. The other _may_ be Tim Cook.
* There is another figure not offering tribute, the one with lipstick; it may be J D Vance or Matt Gaetz. (I am not American and don't pay that much attention to its political figures.)
* Mickey is not the only figure in colour; Bezos' jacket is blue.
