The tank crushes a non-Cybertruck model from Tesla. Forgive me if that's outside this c/'s remit.

What would be a font matching the lettering on the T-shirt in this image?

Also, so that I can search fonts better in future, what key words could be used to describe it? I know it's serif, but anything else?

EDIT: Thanks, everyone! Looks like it's Cooper Black.

• rounded serifs
• blurred serifs
• ultra-bold

• small counters

The Trump administration says it is ending a lease in the Columbia building that houses Tom’s Restaurant. The university says the rent is still due.

Upstairs from the diner made famous by “Seinfeld,” teams of NASA scientists have spent nearly six decades expanding human knowledge about Earth’s climate and the atmospheres of other planets.

The Trump administration continues to detain, expel, and imprison thousands of Americans for the most cruel and arbitrary reasons, helped in no small part by the advanced surveillance networks provided by Silicon Valley contractors: sweeping databases of sensitive information, sophisticated tracking devices, facial recognition software, social media screening. In response, tech-savvy users are taking to social media platforms and encrypted messaging apps to warn their communities, in real time, of encroachments from immigration agents. Some are even going beyond that—by building their own tools to fight back.

In a time when civil society voices are increasingly dismissed as radical or disloyal, new research led by Ph.D. student Lee Aldar and Professor Eran Halperin at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, found that a discourse emphasizing shared values and common goals—like fairness, solidarity, and support for vulnerable communities—can significantly boost the legitimacy of controversial civil groups, even among skeptical or even hostile public.

From the study:

These interventions, emphasizing common interests (e.g., supporting communities, reducing disparities in the provision of health services) and common values (e.g., human dignity, fair due process), can be applied to amplify and include critical voices as part of the effort to combat the harmful consequences of democratic backsliding.

I wrote the book Copaganda based on my years of being a civil rights lawyer and public defender representing the most vulnerable people in our society. I watched as the police and the news media distorted how we think about our collective safety. Copaganda makes us afraid of the most powerless people, helps us ignore far greater harms committed by people with money and power, and always pushes on us the idea that our fears can be solved by more money for police, prosecution, and prisons. Based on the evidence, this idea of more investment in the punishment bureaucracy making us safer is like climate science denial.
