Yes, the primary purpose of USAID was to project US soft power, but its destruction still led to horrific consequences for those who depended on it. It's sort of like if you were to destroy the welfare state - regardless of its flaws the motivations behind its existence, it'd still be catastrophic.

Breaking hiatus to draw this meme that's been stuck in my head since the trailer came out
The picture of wide-eyed Elizabeth Holmes from the upcoming movie You Can See Everything, recreated with Vivec. It's drawn in watercolor and captioned "why would I deceive you?"

I would sorta be able to sympathize with this whole "I wanted to try something different" line were Trump actually some unknown entity, but that just wasn't the case. Trump was president less than half a decade before this, and if you can't remember what that was like, that's all on you.

In response to a slew of anti-trans Democrats pushing hate during the 2026 midterms, Governor Andy Beshear provided principled criticism to the idea that red-state Dems need to adopt anti-trans views to win: "We Don’t Throw Anybody Under The Bus," he said. Subscribe to support our journalism.

The thing about trying to appeal to right wing bigots is that right wing bigots are all stupid idiots who get 100% of their news from propagandists so they will never actually find out that you were trying to appeal to them in the first place

Okay, so I have a plan to get everyone on our side. First, we be absolutely as viscerally unpleasant as possible. Next, we downplay any time we get what we want, say it's the bare minimum and so forth. Finally, if anyone gives up and says we win or apologizes, we belittle them.

Average fan vs. Average enjoyer meme template. The average fan is labeled "Average city transplant hater", and has a Hukou booklet superimposed over him, and is saying: "NOOOO THESE FILTHY MIGRANTS (crossed out) TRANSPLANTS ARE RUINING THE CITY!!!" The average enjoyer is labeled "Average city transplant enjoyer" and has a chart showing the population growth of multiple different US cities betwen 2023 and 2024,m and is saying: "People want to come and live in our beautiful city? Splendid."

"This election is about the threat of trans kids" is the worst possible messaging for Dems yet so many candidates are leaning into it. No voter will flip R->D over it. Low-info voters read this as "you're focused on bullshit that doesn't affect me" while the base reads this as "you're an asshole."

3 panel comic titled “Logging into Bluesky”

Panel 1: 
A Pink Guy bursts into Bluesky wearing a t-shirt that says “Fun”. His little face looks so happy.

Panel 2: 
Six Bluesky users turn to look at the Pink Guy. They all look dour and angry because they have been overdosing on the discourse. Having the current state of the world mainlined into their veins for 22 hours a day has left them real grumpy.

Panel 3:
Pink Guy slowly removes his t-shirt and quietly says “sorry”. He won’t soon forget that Bluesky is the home of Serious Discussion. If he wants “Fun” maybe he should log into the Barney the Dinosaur forums.

This is bad and should be called out. I push back against accusing everyone that breathes for wanting to throw us under the bus, so it is credible when we call it out when it unambiguously occurs. This is an unambiguous occurrence.

You know, I’ve always found that if you expect disappointment, disappointment is still just as crushing. Hope doesn’t make disappointment worse. It just makes anticipation better. And sometimes, bad things don’t happen, and good things do.

It's this movie, for the record. And apparently, the discourse is about it being sexist? Fetishizing and/or glamorizing disability? Portraying a predatory relationship? I don't know, most of this is from heresay, and I'm not about to poke my head into *that* cesspit to get the details right.
