A purple background with two badges the explanation reads "It's our responsibility to know this history. In the 1800s, 'slave catching ' groups stopped being a volunteer endeavor, becoming paid work provided by municipal governments -- the first police officers. The two badges have the same shape one reads "runaway slave patrol" the other reads "Deputy calaveras county sheriff"

Alt text: An image depicting a silhouette with shoulder length, thin, and wavy hair, and possessing a white grin, standing in front of a trans flag, with the glowing red text in front of the silhouette and under their grin saying in all caps “I will outlive you”.

The trans flag in the background is also partially covered by shadows at the top and bottom.

A twitter post by @wokingGirl1. It says When my sister married, and changed her title and name, my aunts were all "ooh, congratulations MRS <newname>". When I transitioned and changed my tile (sic) and name they were all "it's too hard, I’ve always known you as…". If you’re cis and you’ve done this, maybe reflect on why.'"

Above the snake, in large, bold black lettering, reads: 'THERE'S NO QUEER LIBERATION UNTIL EVERYONE IS FREE' and 'EVERY GAY TRANSPOBE IS A TRAITOR'.

Below the snake, in smaller black text, is the phrase: 'QUEERS BASH BACK. FIGHT BACK OPPRESSION.'

The image is a vibrant pink poster with a confrontational design. A stylized snake illustration dominates the image, coiled tightly around barbed wire also twisted. The snake's scales are a dark black with accents of bright grey. Its mouth is open and its tongue is flicked out, suggesting aggression.

A thin black line separates this phrase from a further line of text at the bottom of the poster, which reads 'A DAMAGED ARTWORK WARNING.'"

A dark-themed screenshot of a Twitter post by Sascha Viktor (@confusedOphan). It says "you don't actually support trans people until you learn to treat non-passing trans people as their correct gender. non-passing trans women are still women. they're not men. non-passing trans men are still men. they're not women. internalise this or leave trans people alone."
