Democrats push back after Musk says Trump agrees to close USAID and workers are kept out The developments come after Elon Musk said that he had spoken with President Donald Trump about the aid and development agency and “he agreed we should shut it down.”

My friend Mary Newell DePalma and I wrote this book which was published in 2022 for the 5th anniversary of the Women's March. You can find it in the history section of bookstores, but, alas, it again speaks to our current moment. #womensmarch #kidlit bookshop.org/p/books/pink...
