4 frame comic. first frame shows a swimmer with a one piece bathing suit. 2nd frame shows an enthusiastic kid with a shirt written waterpolo on it. 3rd shows a man with a shirt that reads "someone I love is trans". 4th frame shows a girl with a trans flag. text reads, across the frames : Being visible or outspoken as a trans person will make you a target of violence and hatred. but it will also show every other trans person that it's possible to exist in their space. visibility empowers and changes heart. I believe in a future in which trans people aren't forced to live in fear, shame and secrecy.

4 frame comic. first frame shows the banner of Trump's face that appeared in DC last year. Second frame shows Mussolini giving a speech in front of a church. third shows the silhouette of Putin. Fourth shows the silhouette of Trump giving a speech in front of a Trump - Make America Great Again banner. The text, spread over the four frames, reads : coined by ruth ben-ghiat, history professor and author of "strongmen: Mussolini to the present", autocratic backfire refers to the self-destructive pattern of authoritarian leaders who isolate themselves from expert advice and objective feedback. "I follow my instincts and I am never wrong," said mussolini shortly before invading ethiopia, which made him popular at first, but led to the bankruptcy of the italian state. doesn't that sound familiar? surrounded by an echo chamber of sycophants, auto- crats overestimate their power and underestimate their adver- saries. that's how russia is still sending ever more people to die in ukraine for a "special operation" that was supposed to last just a few days. strongmen are at their most dangerous when they feel threatened. they might even, for example, start wars to protect their over-inflated egos from historically low polling numbers.

What is "autocratic backfire"?

… Speaker Jeffries statement:

4 frame comic. a street reporter approaches a man wearing a big hoodie, asking : sir! how much do you think we should hold feminism accountable for the male loneliness epidemic? he replies : there is no meaningful difference between the rates of loneliness between men and women*. the reason we're always talking about men's is that they're making it everyone else's problem. A note under the frame adds : *in fact, several studies (graham & ong, 2024; cigna & morning consult, 2021) suggest that more women experience loneliness than men. In the 3rd frame, he says : according to research*, the primary reason that men isolate themselves is because they feel incapable of living up to rigid gendered expectations. the far-right exploits that vulnerability to radicalize young men. another note under the frame adds a source : *the state of american men 2025, equimundo: center for masculinities and social justice. fourth frame : If anything, feminism is the solution to men's loneliness. let's deconstruct the gender norms that hurt everyone, before these techno-fascists divide us even more.
