Handwritten notecard. Prompt at the top asks: What object was most devastating for you to lose, and how have you been coping? Answer below: Dentures. Were thrown away and coping isn't somthing I can do. It’s made me feel ugly, unworthy, can’t go get a job with no teeth. So how can get off the streets until another pair can be made?

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.”

STAGGERING: This new study of 133 countries is the first to estimate the impact of all USAID’s work. In 2 decades, it has saved *92M* lives. Current cuts, if not reversed, are forecast to cost up to *14M* lives thru 2030. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

In Sudan, where children clung to life, doctors say USAID cuts have been fatal The Trump administration’s cuts to USAID had an immediate and deadly impact in war-ravaged Sudan, according to civilians, doctors and aid officials.

“Omran shouldn’t have died, doctors said. The physician at his clinic outside the Sudanese capital said basic antibiotics probably would have cured his chest infection.….the new U.S. administration froze foreign aid programs, and a stop-work order came down from Washington.”

New York City Is About to Make a Huge Mistake Andrew Cuomo, who leads in the mayoral polls, has a Trumpian belief in his own spurious talents and triumphs. His election would likewise be a disaster for everyone subject to his rule.

‘In Three Months, Half of Them Will Be Dead’ Elon Musk promised to preserve lifesaving aid to foreign children. Then the Trump administration quietly canceled it.

The Trump administration has quietly doubled down on its plan to stop sending emergency food to millions of children who are starving in Bangladesh, Somalia, and other countries

Without urgent aid, many of these children are likely to die within months www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

Thank you

Meet Evan Anzoo, a five-year-old boy in South Sudan who died when Elon Musk shut down USAID and the boy lost access to his HIV meds. Musk says no one has died because of the aid shutdown, but that's because he didn't look. RIP, Evan, you deserved better. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Thank you!

NEW: The axing of some 10,000 programs has consigned untold numbers of children and refugees to death, officials say. Documents and interviews reveal that the State Department appears to have made the cuts without the careful review it described in court.

We tried to quantify the impact of abrupt PEPFAR cuts. The results startled even us A peer reviewer questioned the premise of our study into the potential impact of abruptly ending PEPFAR funding. Then it happened.

Tanzanians with HIV Left in Crisis as USAID Funding Ends Tanzania’s fight against HIV had relied on funding from the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), a USAID initiative that shut off funding.

The world’s richest man & the world’s most powerful man are two evil monsters. Imagine being proud of an aid freeze.

1.5 Million Tanzanians with HIV have lost their free treatment & are at risk of dying.

Helicopters carrying water churned overhead and sirens blared. He planned to monitor the situation and leave if the fire seemed to become more of a threat. He was waiting for a $300 Amazon Fresh delivery that was still scheduled to arrive in about an hour.

The fact that Amazon workers were told to keep working in these conditions is unforgivable.
