Frankly, the US has a horrible human rights record. We imprison a much higher percentage of our population than anywhere else. And our prisons are horrible when compared to those in many countries.
Those at the door are in power because we supported dictators in those countries that were worst. Iran-Shah, Cuba-Batista, Saudi Arabia-we have supported the Saudi Royal Family for 70+ years.
At least Bok represented Saudi Arabia in the cartoon; considering how much support they get from Conservative and Corporate politicians in the form of military funding and equipment, I’m sure that’s Israel peaking either over the shoulder or from behind the door.

PS: “The vax checkers” are also a right-wing distortion of the idea of brining the vaccination to where people are.

During the ’60s, some Black leaders in the U.S. tried to get African nations to prod the U.N. into this very action.

The US doesn’t score for global freedom in the top free nations of the world, those scoring 90-100 in this analysis. The US comes in at 83.
