For those who like a short read to start the day, I’m sharing this. 🙏

This is what American aid used to be. 🥣👶🏽🤰🏾 Millions fed. Mothers supported. No deals. No profit. No leverage. Just public service. As of July 2025, this is gone. Replaced by transactional cruelty. Remember what we lost. Remember who will pay.

Your tax-deductible donation will support former USAID Foreign Service Officers and Civil Service employees challenging their illegal terminations and help: ✅ Defend the employment rights of former USAID employees ✅ Enforce federal law, and ✅ Hold the Administration accountable.

Rahm Emanuel said WHAT about USAID?! 😒 So, these MAGAts aren't the only ones happy to see poor/sick/brown (in any combination) people die? Evil, AND in favor of throwing away soft power? I already disliked him, but this is so telling about the core of who he is as a human.

"Like many of the institutions and agencies targeted by the Trump administration this year—USAID, the Forest Service, the National Institutes of Health—NCAR is vulnerable in part because so few Americans know what it does, if they’ve heard of it at all."

BURMA: ~ half a million people in rural, remote areas in ongoing civil war. JUNTA attacked hospitals, clinics. USAID 40 % funds gone. MAE TAO CLINIC Affects refugee camps, migrant workers, displaced people ~ 2 million people need urgent humanitarian help We must respond" Dr. Cynthia Maung,

Clear, factual, and grounded. In Santa Fe New Mexican, Victor Barbiero makes the case that USAID’s decades of work saved lives at scale. From vaccines to famine warning systems, this is peace measured in outcomes, not slogans.

I'm in!

@barackobama.bsky.social Worthy of your consideration, Mr. President. It also provides the Nobel Committee a much needed & elegant out from pressure for other considerations less inspiring. It may acknowledge achievements without condemnation of USAID’s vanishment. Politics can be shelved 4 honor.

YES 👍

🇺🇸 ORD 2. Merry resistance 🎄. They show up because our democracy is on the line. You see them on I 5, waving from the overpass just outside town in Talent, Oregon.

I’ve been screaming this out loud for 20 years: these orgs are not even religious—they are corporate tools to consolidate oligarchic power and reimplement colonialism on a mass scale, not on behalf of individual governments but a tiny group of men obsessed with controlling you through capital.

The Heritage Foundation pushes a version of history scrubbed of slavery, Jim Crow, and policy driven racism. A clean past protects unequal power in the present. Tell the truth and people demand equity and repair. That threatens white Christian nationalist authoritarianism.

Humanitarian aid should never sit under the State Department. It exists to put humanity before politics and to reflect the generosity of the American people. Stress test it under ambition and the truth shows. Aid becomes leverage. Lives become expendable. Mass death follows. Look at Marco Rubio 🤮.

Monday truth bomb! ❤️

Seems to be a hot item this holiday season. 🤣🎄

Zach Wahls, 34, is running for the US Senate seat held by Joni Ernst, whose most famous skill remains castrating pigs 🐷. Wahls has crossed 56 counties, logged 180 events, and is campaigning for Iowans, not billionaires. www.amestrib.com/story/news/p...

Interesting watch

By Rubio, Musk… liars, hypocrites, haters of humanity.

Grateful for the chance to read and share stories from former Peace Corps Volunteers 🌍📖 Each one carries a place, a moment, and something that stayed. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I do.

Not so fast. You do not get to offer up what was never yours. These lands are not your bargaining chips. Not for your donors. Not for your deals. Not for your ego. They belong to the living and the dead. To our children. Backing down does not absolve the theft impulse. You are despicable.

Important read here. This was no accident or Musk hatchet job.

These so-called christian groups are opposed to the most basic human rights people, all they are interested in is spreading the most racist, facist and most inhumane doctrines, destroying human values and norms, killing people in the name of christianity, by bribing, blackmail, corruptness! BEWARE!

They say it’s about health. Then they dump enforcement on cashiers, shame families at checkout, sell compliance lists, and cut education and staff. RFK just walked the state into MAGA’s sacred space. The Big Gulp wars are coming. 🥤🔥 apple.news/AFUpNz69ISNm...

I didn't put this together till right now

Born in Fort Lauderdale’s Sistrunk community, Elijah Manley grew up hungry and homeless, raised by a single mother in deep poverty. Inspired at nine by Barack Obama, he chose service over despair. Now he is running for Congress to fight for families like his. 🇺🇸

USAID was not dismantled by accident. It was a deliberate hit job by the Christian right, backed and financed by Heritage Foundation. Strip the language of charity away and what remains is ideology, power, and control.

From the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025. Trump claimed ignorance, then handed power to Russ Vought. Now public science is on the chopping block and institutions like National Center for Atmospheric Research are being dismantled. Americans pay the risk.

The Brazen Age is rule by shameless men who boast while they steal. Loyal friends take the prizes, science is dismissed, law whispers, and the nation is fed make believe facts until noise passes for strength and fiction for truth.

Career ambassadors purged by phone. Loyalty tests replace law. Rubio 🤮, incompetent and cruel, presides without regard for country or Constitution. This is not diplomacy. It is purge by ego and power.

This is gross, illegal, and totally unconstitutional. Tax billionaires into extinction once and for all.

Portland. Morning. ICE rips a father from his kids’ school drop off, then fires chemical rounds into a residential street. Neighbors choke. Children watch.
