I spend 1/2 my life in neon red rural Texas. I point it out all the time. To my neighbors, to their faces. The problem is rightwing media and its proficiency at using viewers' insecurities to foment hatred. It wasn't always this way. It began with Fox, which metastasized into the cancer of Trump.

"Eggs expensive under Biden" was a story for six months. "Trump made everything expensive on purpose" is apparently just a Trump personality quirk we're all supposed to get used to.

“How much is a magical world worth?” A beautiful thread about Cabo Verde, the Peace Corps, and the World Cup:

If you ever doubt how magical this world is, one day you will decide to go to a World Cup watch party in Oakland that you found online to root for a country where you spent two years trying to coax English out of the mouths of Cape Verdean teenagers. 1/7

And at the watch party you will ask the organizer if he's from Cape Verde. He will say yes, from Praia. And you'll say oh! I lived there for two years. I was a teacher. And he will ask, "What's your name?" You will tell him and he will say,
"You were my teacher."
CABO VERDE

Jill Tucker @jilltucker • 20h
And across 30+ years and 6,000 miles you will hug a now man who tried to find you and remembered the songs you taught him and his classmates and he will apologize for how badly behaved they all were. And you will laugh and try not to cry and gape in wonder at at this crazy world.

Jill Tucker

You will remember how much you love the World Cup. And what the Peace Corps meant to you. What those students, 40 to a class with no glass on the windows, meant to you.

Ivan, the grown man with a touch of grey in his beard, will tell you later he has struggled to describe what it meant to him to meet again - that he shared our photo with classmates.
And when he returns from watching the Cabo Verde game, we will try to find the words together.

Jill Tucker @jilltucker • 20h And then you read that the US
House of Representatives will vote a day before that game on an amendment to eliminate the Peace Corps, which costs 1/6 the price of the Tomahawk missiles the US used in the war on Iran.

USAID, like UK DFID, were wonderful diplomatic institutions that reduced the net cost of international engagement ten fold. By preventing distress, illness and hunger we headed off wars, built goodwill and saved lives. Their destruction (particularly of USAID) was a moral wrong and stupid policy.

Graft and corruption in a reflecting pool contract. The firm given a no-bid contract to fix the Reflecting Pool charged a 20% profit margin. The government agreed to pay $13.1 mn for the project—7× Trump's estimate—and is using $7 mn worth of national park entrance fees to help foot the bill.
