One year after President Donald Trump froze U.S. foreign aid, HIV treatment still exists across much of Africa — but the outreach, prevention, and monitoring systems that sustained it are fraying. I trace how those losses are reshaping access to care for @devex.com: www.devex.com/news/one-yea...

A judge needs to order Bovino to submit to them the name of the murderer. And if he doesn't comply, hold him contempt - in a jail until he does. Pardon powers cannot override that. Then do the same with Noem. Tired of weak judges. Courts are going to have to move faster. It's getting bad.

Just so we're clear. No money saved. Cost in millions of lives. DOGE not yet behind bars. www.wbur.org/onpoint/2026...

Dems should introduce legislation now defunding ICE and CBP operations in Minnesota, so they have to leave the state. One sentence bill. Demand an immediate vote. Maybe refuse to vote for cloture on any funding bills (or other bills) until a vote. Make the GOP Congress break w/ Trump or own it all.

Please read the whole first-hand account and share

So important. What they say is not the story. That is never the story. What happened is the story. Write what happened.

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.

Reflections on the one year anniversary of the #USAID Stop Work Order, and a message of hope to our community: globaldevinterrupted.substack.com/p/to-those-w...

AFGE Local 3669 statement:

Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position, Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.

Rachel Sayre compares what's happening in Minneapolis to what she saw in conflict zones working for USAID. Listen to her. #resist #altfam

Lydia stopped taking her medicine and died after the Trump administration ended a program providing her with support: www.devex.com/news/followi...

Juma began rationing his HIV drugs after being warned that all services had collapsed following Trump's order to halt all foreign aid. The virus rebounded and he is now in danger of developing drug resistance: forsaken.life/orals/juma-b...

Josephine is living with cervical cancer in addition to HIV. As a result of the funding cuts, she no longer receives a small allowance from her HIV support group. That means she can scarcely afford to buy food: forsaken.life/orals/joseph...

McDonald contracted HIV after the administration slashed the prevention program focused on gay men and transgender people that he relied on: foreignpolicy.com/2025/12/01/t...

It has now been one year since President Trump shut down all U.S. foreign aid and began wrecking the global AIDS response. I have spent that year collecting testimonies from the communities most affected by these cuts: www.forsaken.life

At this point MAGA has actually gone far beyond the level of human rights abuses we took the trouble to document in other countries. Keep hold of your moral compasses, and continue to #resist #AltFam

The United States has officially withdrawn from the World Health Organization. This is a shameful move that puts both Americans and people all over the world at greater risk from disease outbreaks, which require international collaboration to contain.

Politico describes several new attacks on abortion access by the Trump administration, a gift to anti-choicers on the eve of the "March for Life."

The US officially withdrew from the World Health Organization today. Per Trump we can work "one on one" with other countries Has he heard of the concept of an international outbreak? I.E. PANDEMIC? No WHO, no USAID, underfunded CDC global health center. We are less prepared than we have ever been.

Where to even start with this shit. ALL foreign assistance now aggressively being used to take away reproductive rights and any tolerance for LGBTQ people. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

The human costs of the US administration’s executive actions that upended global health and humanitarian programmes around the world have been catastrophic. Our teams have been witnessing them ⬇️

This disqualifies you from anything related to the notion of peace.

A year ago, the first of us was RIFfed. A few days later we set up this account to warn you all what was happening. Our friends established @friendsofusaid.bsky.social @aidonthehill.bsky.social @oneaid.bsky.social and more. We are still fighting. #USAIDForever #resist

Somalia became a failed state bc of leaders who didn’t acknowledge or accept the rule of law, who would not govern themselves, not bc of genetic predisposition or cultural inferiority. He is the ✌️Somalian✌️ he’s warning us about, which means it has nothing to do with being Somalian.

“At least six career staffers at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency were suspended with pay this summer after organizing a polygraph test that the agency’s acting director, Madhu Gottumukkala, failed.” 12/21/25 www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

How sad is this? The CDC closed its FOIA office, so this story could only be published because a Danish journalist provided Rolling Stone with the documents, after obtaining them through a freedom of information request to the University of Southern Denmark www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

"Ultimately, the project secured funding from the South African Medical Research Council and the Gates Foundation. It's about a twentieth of the original USAID grant and none of it is from the U.S. government."

What makes this statement by Emmanuel Macron so unprecedented is, for the first time, a leading European ally is equating Trump with Putin. “No intimidation or threat will influence us - neither in Ukraine, nor in Greenland, nor anywhere else in the world.” EVERYTHING has changed.

The struggle for human rights, dignity and freedom is universal and links us all. #Iran www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

It's never actually about national security with these folks. It's either an attempt at extortion or fear that someone is saying something that might hurt their feelings. www.propublica.org/article/trum...
