People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
No international politcs
Be excellent to each other.
Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

I work closely with a woman who describes herself as conservative. She is staunchly against benefits like free school lunches and period products. Her argument is that it is the responsibility of the parents or the woman herself to work hard and buy those things themselves instead of taking from others.

She absolutely believes that being poor is an indication of laziness and lack of work ethic.

It’s the most infuriating to hear her speak about these things as if her middle-class white ass didn’t get built in societal benefits that allowed her to succeed despite her worth ethic or lack thereof.
