For the cover of the February 9, 2026, issue, the artist Till Lauer evokes the recent killings of civilians by ICE agents in Minneapolis, where thousands have gathered in the streets to protest and grieve. “I personally care about the right to protest far more than about the right to bear arms,” Lauer said. “However, recent events show that we no longer can take any American liberty for granted—neither the First Amendment nor the Second.”
