This is a 7-panel vertical compilation of screenshots from a televised CNN Tonight interview between host Don Lemon and actor Morgan Freeman. The exchange follows Lemon asking Freeman if he believes race plays a role in wealth distribution in the US. Freeman responds in the negative, citing himself and Lemon as evidence that race is not a barrier to financial success, adds that he overcame a disadvantaged background growing up in Memphis, Tennessee to achieve his current status, and encourages people to pursue their goals regardless of background. When Lemon pushes back by noting critics argue this 'pull yourself up by the bootstraps' narrative is not accessible to everyone, Freeman bluntly rejects this claim, stating everybody is capable of succeeding if they try.

This meme features a real photograph of former Tuvalu Foreign Minister Simon Kofe standing knee-deep in shallow, clear ocean water, positioned behind a standing podium. A United Nations flag and the national flag of Tuvalu are placed to his left, with a blue fabric backdrop behind him, and partially submerged concrete coastal defensive structures are visible further out in the water under a cloudy sky. The text overlaid at the top of the image uses the popular Bernie Sanders meme phrase structure, reading: "I am once again asking for your attention to the issue of climate change." The visual powerfully demonstrates the immediate threat of sea level rise to low-lying Pacific island nations like Tuvalu, which face total submersion due to the impacts of global climate change.

This is a two-panel collage image with a red text banner at the top. The top banner text states that the Montreal school board has fired 150 teachers for refusing to remove their religious symbols. The left panel features a Muslim woman wearing a teal niqab, clear glasses, and a brown winter puffer jacket with black fur trim, standing outdoors on a residential street looking directly at the camera. The right panel features a second Muslim woman wearing a white patterned hijab, dark rimmed glasses, and a red dress, standing against a light grey brick wall with a serious, displeased expression, with her hands folded in front of her. Both women are implied to be among the teachers fired for wearing religious attire at work, in relation to Quebec's Bill 21 secularism legislation.
