This is how you do it.

The "Mutual Academic Defense Compact".

The moral imperative may be to fight...

but the strategic imperative is to not fight alone:

Turnabout is fair play.
A tweet from Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson) lists rising costs: "Gas prices, up." "Grocery prices, up." "Egg prices, up." "Inflation, up." Below the text is an edited image of former President Donald Trump pointing upward with the caption "I DID THAT!", suggesting sarcastic attribution of rising prices to Trump. This is a play on the well-known "I DID THAT!" Biden sticker meme, which is often used to criticize economic conditions.

Marketing in dystopian times:
"I write funny stories about love and big quirky messy families and a small fictional town in New England where everyone has way too much time on their hands!"
Seriously. I do. With the price of eggs so high, please consider escaping into fiction.

It gives me no pleasure to say she was right.
A tweet from Isaiah Martin ( @isialahrmartin ) features a meme with a background of a brightly lit arena filled with people. The text on the meme reads: "OH HI THERE" at the top, and "ARE YOU LOOKING FOR THE PERSON WHO LITERALLY TOLD YOU ALL OF THIS WOULD HAPPEN?" at the bottom. In the foreground, Kamala Harris is sitting in a chair with a water bottle and some electronic devices on a table in front of her.

A fine point.
A tweet from Comrade Sisko ( @Pinko69420 ) with two raised fist emojis reads: "If we can call a body of water a new name, I feel like we can all call trans people by their names and pronouns too." The tweet includes an image of a map showing the southeastern United States, the Gulf of Mexico, and parts of the Caribbean. Overlaid on the map is the text: "If we can call a body of water a new name, I feel like we can all call trans people by their names and pronouns too."
