The text reads:

UFC fighters will train FBI agents at a "historic seminar" so they can "be even better prepared to protect the American people," says FBI director Kash Patel.

Below this statement, there's an image showing two individuals, presumably the subjects mentioned in the tweet. The individual who is in focus is identified as Kash Patel, he has dark hair and a beard and looks to be speaking or making a statement. He's wearing what seems like a black jacket over a shirt.

In addition to the tweet, there’s a comment below it which states:

Just the stupidest time to be alive Absolute clown show of a timeline. Dunce caps for everyone.

Text about women's liberation and societal issues by Joyce Stevens on a pink background.

Transcribed Text:

Because woman’s work is never done and is underpaid or unpaid or boring or repetitious and we’re the first to get the sack and what we look like is more important than what we do and if we get raped it’s our fault and if we get bashed we must have provoked it and if we raise our voices we’re nagging bitches and if we enjoy sex we’re nymphos and if we don’t we’re frigid and if we love women it’s because we can’t get a “real” man and if we ask our doctor too many questions we’re neurotic and/or pushy and if we expect community care for children we’re selfish and if we stand up for our rights we’re aggressive and “unfeminine” and if we don’t we’re typical weak females and if we want to get married we’re out to trap a man and if we don’t we’re unnatural and because we still can’t get an adequate safe contraceptive but men can walk on the moon and if we can’t cope or don’t want a pregnancy we’re made to feel guilty about abortion and . . . . . for lots and lots of other reasons we are part of the women’s liberation movement.
