    A screenshot of a post on X by Tim Pool (@Timcast). The tweet says, “Ms Rachel is a demon who harms children. Keep your kids away from this shit.” Below it is a retweeted post from Complex Pop Culture about Ms. Rachel criticizing the government for cutting SNAP food aid. The attached image shows Ms. Rachel wearing a pink shirt and denim overalls, speaking animatedly with her hand raised.
