Angry as hell humanitarian, recovering diplomat, former State Dept/USAID/USIP/@ICRC. Tolerated by two loving sons. Views my own - expect a little noise. (smoking girl by Yoshitomo Nara).

This πŸ‘‡

And every day we continue to tolerate the murderous actions of ICE,
We lose a bit more of our soul.

Get ICE out of our cities.

If you’re in OGC,
and asked to take on this β€œduty” you know the right step to take.

One with which you can sleep at night,
look yourself in the mirror, and know many are supporting you.

2025 - I’m glad I’ve finally broken up with you.
Our relationship just went on for too long.
It was time for a change and then
I met 2026.

Happy New Year, everyone!!!

Sitting in airport for flight to Detroit as part of my β€œsee America” effort.

And I’m having fun, pretending
I’m an Ohio State parent.
Heh.

Another moment for the Republicans in Congress to show some spine and reassert the role of congressional oversight…

Hmmm. What are the odds?
Anyone want to put money on it?

Worth reading the full resignation letter from the head of center for immunization. "I am unable to serve in an environment that treats CDC as a tool to generate policies and materials that do not reflect scientific reality and are designed to hurt rather than to improve the public’s health."

Children saving children by covering their friends with their own bodies while a shooter sprayed a church with gunfire.

When children are protecting lives more than our politicians…

Stop being cowards.

Add your voice to ours:
talk to your reps in Congress, your friends, family, communities abt the harm to intl stability, to vulnerable peoples, to America’s formerly-trusted leadership…

Lives have already been lost.
Human suffering only grows.
How does this make β€œAmerica First?”

Last year, we witnessed enormous loss of lives of humanitarian workers -

This year, we are again seeing violations of IHL, lack of protection and respect for humanitarian and civilians alike.

Must stop this trajectory.
They are Not A Target.

On the same planet as the rest of us.

Rule of law and due process.

See, DOGE: You cannot just dismiss,
Disregard,
and try to drive
a Tesla through it.
