Russia's Matryoshka disinformation campaign has shifted to the US elections, where it's making wild claims about random Democratic Party candidates. They've also started one of their jigsaws again, which is nearly complete. Not sure if it's a specific person, but at least my face isn't on the poo.
The image is a crude satirical illustration set against broad red and cream stripes that run down the background and continue across the floor.
On the left stands a shaggy grey donkey, facing the viewer, with large upright ears, a pale muzzle and several white stars across its chest.
On the right is a blonde woman wearing black glasses, a blue dress with puffed sleeves, a white apron and black high heels. She leans forward with one hand on her hip and holds an oversized wooden spoon in the other. The spoon is coated in a brown substance, which also appears smeared around her smiling mouth and chin.
A large pile of faeces sits between them in the foreground, surrounded by flies and rising green and yellow stink lines.
Three horizontal black bands mark missing sections of the reconstructed image: one across the upper ears and hair, a wider band across the donkey’s muzzle and the woman’s waist, and a narrow band near the bottom.

U.S. manufacturing jobs are down under Trump, including in the auto industry. His strategy failed, and so will this. Lowering standards will accelerate what he has already been doing: handing the clean tech future to China and forcing Americans to pay more at the pump.

That... isn't better. Just accepting the change because it comes through GNIS is not, in anyway, an excuse. It is, very literally, "We were just following orders" Going along with fascism may be easier, but it isn't right, and it doesn't make them immune to criticism.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, in heaven. A dog with little wings runs towards her open arms. Off panel, a speech bubble reads “welcome to Heaven! Here is your dog!”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. She says, “where’s my cat?”
The third panel zooms out. There are dogs with little wings everywhere. Sarah says, “Where’s ANY of the cats?”
The fourth panel shows a circle of cats holding hands and dancing gleefully surrounded by flames in hell.
