Twitter users are taking time out to reflect on 2017.
With the year drawing to a close, the @PowerPuffTag account asked its followers on Saturday to reveal what the year has meant to them.
Via the #2017In4Words hashtag, many posts took on a political tone as people used it to protest President Donald Trump and his policies. One tweeter poignantly said the year’s mass shootings meant it was now certainly “Time for gun control.”
Here’s a sampling of the posts:
