Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Wish we could do something about it

The group I volunteer for is trying to solve the problem you're talking about, educating people on stuff that happens South of the border and everything that most Americans haven't heard about. We're really well informed and keep up to date, but it's hard to know every name of every person the government has been murdering, because frankly, that's a lot of info. Not even just emotionally, it's just too much to grasp. It's too much to report on, and even if there was a news segment over every one of them, it would be a constant drone that eventually you wouldn't hear anymore.

Because of this though I've seen a lot of conservatives trying to pull a "gotcha" and say "well you didn't care about these people so obviously you're fake!"

Idk. Just thought it might be better to like, encourage people to learn more than shaming them for ignorance.

Thanks for the condolences on my cat, keep checking their kidneys when they are older.
