Difficult to overstate how much blood RFK and Trump will have on their hands in the coming years. Difficult to overstate how many innocent kids will die as a result of the people who cast votes for Trump last November.

These ships honor giants of American history — people like Marylanders Thurgood Marshall and Harriet Tubman, who helped forge a stronger, more powerful nation and made us a global example of freedom in action. This is repulsive.

The term “Western values” – like its counterpart “African values” – has in fact always been more wineskin than wine. Rather than a codification of particular values, it is a framework for legitimating and justifying actions by Western (or African) states.

Food aid in Tigray is stopped. "Aid agencies in Ethiopia had to apply to USAID for waivers to continue handing out U.S. grain. These have been secured, but USAID’s payments system is still not functioning." apnews.com/article/ethi...

It's worth noting that when dipshit took office, we were beating China, Russia, and international terrorist networks by a lot.

Ten years after the start of Yemen’s civil war, which has caused catastrophic humanitarian conditions in the country, millions of Yemenis are being driven further into hunger and severe poverty by the swiftly collapsing currency.

Whether or not Tigray’s negotiators could have secured a better deal, the main sticking point now driving the TPLF apart is the failure to return home nearly one million displaced people – a key part of the peace deal.

Why doesn’t anyone want to foster this pup? For Gods sake! She’s going to die! Doesn’t anyone care? I’m absolutely terrified for her! She is going to be killed! My heart is breaking!

Some people think that the demise of USAID is good news. Wasn't USAID a tool of US imperialism? A prominent proponent of this line of thinking is Patrick Gathara, a senior editor at @newhumanitarian.bsky.social His argument is ill-informed and wrong.

UNDERSTAND THE ASSIGNMENT: tomorrow, February 28th, is the Economic Blackout. I ain’t buying shit. Plan ahead, but if you must buy essentials, use cash and support local businesses only. No corporate chains!

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

Be clear about what Trump and Musk’s aid axe will do: people will face terror and starve, many will die | Gordon Brown

U.S. businesses that sold goods and services to USAID are in limbo, including American farms dealing in rice, wheat and soybeans purchased as food aid.

And it's not just goods and services sold to USAID, but all goods and services sold via the Development-Industrial Complex. A thing I learned via various consultancies over the years is how much "foreign aid" is actually spent in the US and/or on American workers and goods.

There needs to be a starter pack for all these organisations featured in Food Tank's 125 food and ag organisations to watch in 2025! How about it @foodtank.bsky.social? foodtank.com/news/2024/12...

American farms supply ~41% of the food aid USAID sends around the world each year. In 2020, they bought $2.1 BILLION in food aid from American farmers. “You start dismantling these [food aid] programs and it’s a ripple effect,” he said. “The farmers are affected; the farm economy is affected.”

The suspension of USAID has resulted in an immediate crisis, mainly affecting the IDPs. Trump govt, and Tigray interim administration and other concerned bodies should look for alternative options to save the lives of IDPs.

Many rich and meaningful lives were led during the fall of the Roman Empire.

i don’t even know if crime is the right word for the illegal destruction of USAID. it is an autocratic power grab and a direct attack on the sovereignty of the american people

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out. This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

Workers in DC are fighting to block Musk's minions. "About 100 Federal employees and supporters...blocked the doors to...‘data miners’....The small group of young men eventually left without entering after the protesters would not let them near the front doors." dcmediagroup.us/2025/02/02/f...

Those bullshit tariffs are going to be the last tool of influence we have after the dipshits are done with our government.
