Remember when Hillary Clinton, Iraq War supporter and architect of Libya’s destruction, supported Trump’s attacks on Syria in 2017 and said cis women have legitimate concerns about trans women in bathrooms
Tbh the idea behind "the lesser of two evils" lost all meaning in the 2016 election. You had people that genuinely believed that Hillary Clinton was gonna be a harmful ass President compared to Trump.
1) we really gotta bring back shame
2) this is a crystal clear example of the consequences of internalizing “the lesser of two evils” politics as our only strategy
the lesser of two evils is *still* evil 🥴

Today in unhinged Russian propaganda: Moscow says Ukraine is funneling drones to the Islamic State Sahel Province via Libya, and sending mercenaries into the Sudanese civil war. (Per 'African Initiative,' Moscow's bespoke disinformation initiative for the continent.)
![Headlien: Zakharova says growing evidence shows Ukraine’s support for terrorist groups in the Sahel
Published: 08.10.2025, 05:45
Text:
There is increasing evidence that Ukraine is supporting terrorist groups in the Sahara–Sahel region of Africa, including proof of drone supplies to militants, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said during a briefing.
“There is mounting evidence that the Zelensky regime is supporting terrorist groups in the Sahara–Sahel region of Africa. The security bloc of Libya’s Government of National Unity (GNU), with the mediation of the United Kingdom, has established co-operation with Ukrainian militants, which includes the supply of strike drones by the Kyiv regime and the organisation of training activities by instructors from the Ukrainian Defence Ministry,” the diplomat stated.
Zakharova stressed that, according to the Sudanese Armed Forces, Ukrainian mercenaries are also taking part in fighting in the west of the war-torn country on the side of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) rebels.
“Colonel Fath al-Sayed of Sudanese military intelligence told the media that Ukrainian and Colombian mercenaries fighting on the side of the [RSF] rebels suffered heavy losses in battles in the western part of the country. It is known that they were using, once again, Ukrainian-made drones,” the diplomat said.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tdpns2ajyjp4g5niu4ouczuo/bafkreihjzobzrcdme2vxwcl3y64f6kceum7wfenmxmhpg5xjeilgj2hgr4@jpeg)

Qaddafi's violent suppression of the 2011 Arab Spring uprisings led to widespread military defections, leaving him vulnerable to Libya's rebel forces. Some military commanders and entire units defected rather than fire on civilians. He was forced to flee.
