Jim Carrey made a name for himself through his unique and often bizarre comedic talent, in movies such as The Mask and Ace Ventura, but more recently his work has transitioned into something rather different.

That's not to say the actor-turned-painter is any less strange in the way he acts, but he is now outspoken about his political beliefs.

After the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, Carrey tweeted out a painting of a bloodied schoolgirl lying across the American flag, with the caption: "Oh say, can't you see?!"

Additionally, he also specifically struck out at the Trump administration after the false alert in Hawaii in mid January this year. After a state-wide alert was mistakenly sent out to Hawaiian citizens warning them that a ballistic missile was inbound, many panicked as they feared for their lives.

Carrey, who was visiting Hawaii at the time, said that this was a "real psychic warning," and said that "if we allow this one-man Gomorrah and his corrupt Republican congress to continue alienating the world we are headed for suffering beyond all imagination".

But recently his critical paintings have become far more targeted. First came his portrait of White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders, who he called "monstrous" and claimed her "only purpose in life is to life for the wicked".

On Monday it was Donald Trump's turn to be the subject of a Carrey painting, who is referred to as "the wicked witch of the west wing".

This Tuesday he posted a black and white version of one of his older paintings, a portrait of Mark Zuckerberg, in light of recent news about user information being spread illegally. He captioned the tweet with "Who are you sharing your life with?" and the hashtag "#regulatefacebook".

For this version of the painting he added a quote from Zuckerberg that reads: "They trust me, dumb fucks". While this seems made up, it actually comes from a real story. Business Insider reported that the CEO allegedly said this about Facebook users at Harvard when the site began, back in 2004.

Carrey's tweet comes a few days after a report from The New York Times stirred up controversy. Their research found that Facebook shared 50 million users' information with Cambridge Analytica, a political research group which collaborated with Donald Trump on his election campaign.

He posted the same image last month in color, when he said he was selling his Facebook stock and deleting his page on the site, due to reports that Facebook profited from Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, and not - some say - doing enough to prevent something similar happening in the future.

With all these recent reports, many are calling for us all to delete our Facebook accounts. Brian Acton, the co-founder of WhatsApp, which Facebook bought in 2014, also urged people to delete their accounts this week in a tweet.

At the end of the day, the worst thing that can happen from you deleting your Facebook account is that you won't see the thousands of vacation photos from that friend who always seems to have money. Doesn't sound too bad, does it?
