An older woman in a cowboy hat and sunglasses holds a handmade protest sign that reads “MAYDAY MAYDAY SCIENCE in Distress!” with glittery silver and blue panels. Behind her, an American flag is displayed upside down, symbolizing distress. The scene takes place at a city intersection under a partly cloudy sky, with other people visible in the background.

A protester stands among a crowd holding a cardboard sign mounted on a tennis racket. The sign features an image of a penguin pointing to a poster showing a bird, a drone, and a van, while three gulls watch—evoking a parody of education or warning. The protester wears a face mask with the word “FREEDOM” crossed out in red and reflective sunglasses, emphasizing themes of surveillance, climate, or civil liberties.

A protester wearing a faded baseball cap and denim jacket holds a handmade sign taped with a white spine cutout. The sign reads, “HOUSE REPUBLICANS → TRY TO LOCATE YOUR SPINES!” Bold black lettering and an arrow emphasize the message. The scene is part of a larger rally, with a crowd of demonstrators visible in the background under a cloudy sky.

A woman with curly hair and a black leather jacket passionately speaks into a microphone at an outdoor rally, with mountains in the background. She gestures with one hand while holding the mic with the other. In the foreground, a blurred protest sign partially reading “WORKER? OR BILLIONAIRE?” is raised by someone in a plaid jacket, framing the speaker. A pride flag and onlookers are visible behind her.

Surgery to cure early-stage lung cancer appears safe even over age 80
