Share your best examples of effectively mocking authoritarians.
It's time we stop feeling "shock and awe" at these bullies and start laughing in their faces.

A massive scandal is unfolding. Trump launched a memecoin that hit $6B+market cap since Friday. He’s now a multi-billionaire from this scam, opening a portal to untraceable payoffs from corporate and foreign actors. Many in crypto who poured millions into electing him are furious.

If you were vaccinated between 1963-1967, you may have received the inactivated measles vaccine, which was later found to provide little to no long-term protection. If that’s the case, you need at least one dose of the modern MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) vaccine.
