Texts From Hillary is an internet phenomenon that originated in April 2012, based on a photograph of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton checking her Blackberry while aboard a C-17 military aircraft. The meme took off after a Tumblr blog of the same name began pairing the stoic image of Clinton with humorous text message exchanges with world leaders like Barack Obama and Joe Biden. It portrayed Clinton as a no-nonsense, tech-savvy boss who had no time for trivialities. The meme became so popular that Clinton herself eventually contributed a post to the blog before it was retired, cementing its place as a rare instance of a political figure successfully embracing their own viral moment. Today, it remains a go-to template for depicting authority, shade, or unbothered energy.
