The image displays a large, repurposed underground parking facility operating as a temporary overnight shelter for unhoused people in France. Rows of separated cubicles holding properly made beds with clean linens line both sides of a wide central aisle. Multiple people are resting on the beds, while uniformed shelter staff stand at service counters interacting with visitors, distributing supplies, and providing support. Text overlaid at the bottom of the image explains that these pop-up shelters also give homeless guests access to professional support staff alongside accommodation.

This is a 2-panel black and white line art satirical meme. The first panel features a man in a suit, presented as a politician, stating "stop immigration so we can take care of our own", with the words "stop" and "our own" underlined for emphasis. The second panel shows a small, vulnerable citizen standing opposite the same politician, saying "i'm starving", to which the politician dismissively responds "fuck off". The joke exposes the hypocrisy of anti-immigration rhetoric that claims to prioritize helping domestic citizens, when the politicians pushing this rhetoric often refuse to actually support or aid vulnerable people in their own country.

The second tweet, a response by chrislundartist (posted 18 hours ago), argues against focusing solely on tax rates, introducing the 'Life Rate' concept: summing taxes, health insurance, co-pays, tuition, daycare, and retirement savings, claiming this total exceeds Denmark's single tax bill that includes all services. It has 4.2K likes, 52 comments, 162 retweets, and 34 shares.

A meme utilizing Norman Rockwell's 1943 painting 'Freedom of Speech' (part of the Four Freedoms series), which portrays a man standing to speak in a town hall setting surrounded by a seated crowd. The original artwork symbolizes democratic discourse. This meme overlays bold white text at the bottom: 'I DON'T MIND IF MY TAXES GO TO FEEDING THE HUNGRY AND HOUSING THE HOMELESS,' repurposing the image to advocate for tax-funded social welfare programs supporting vulnerable populations.
