An easy pick for me but it captures the last decade so well. Lincoln looking at the noose/halo is what sends this one over from being just a funny picture into being genuine art. It should be in a gallery. It should be in the entryway to the White House.

Plenty of these are funny but this one hits

Seeing that precinct building on fire legitimately radicalized me. Snapped me back into wakefulness in a way, like suddenly I remembered that historical moments are indeed happening in the world I live in. I'd been feeling resigned to the idea that the misery in America is too calcified to do anything other than continue growing, and then FWOOSH a good old-fashioned fire comes along to make the world feel alive to me again
