i mean, i could understand the shooter getting away, but it doesn’t sound like they even have any suspects. normally, by now, they’ve released some kind of grainy surveillance footage or description or sketch or *something*, but it seems like they’ve got nothing

I think that escalatory civil violence is very bad. But I swear to fucking God if anyone even attempts to suggest that Trump hasn't been the primary actor over the last decade fueling the normalization of civil violence in America, I'm going to lose it.

Wednesday 23 April 2025, by Nehal Singh United States Agency for International Development (USAID) sudden funding disruption has severely impacted Nepal’s community development efforts at a pivotal time in the country’s growth trajectory. The termination of 34 projects worth an estimated $329 million has disrupted healthcare, education, energy, and infrastructure development efforts, affecting over 400 organizations and placing an estimated 30,000 to 35,000 youth jobs at risk (Bhattarai, 2025). These projects were meant to boost Nepal’s progress in the direction of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in rural and marginalized communities. The timing of this withdrawal couldn’t be more wrong as it coincides with Nepal’s anticipated graduation from Least Developed Country (LDC) status, compounds its impact and introduces heightened uncertainty for the nation’s economic and social future. This reflects a severe loss of resources as well as breach of trust in the continuity of global development partnerships. If left unaddressed, the consequences may reverse years of development progress and deepen inequalities. Nepal now faces the dual challenge of sustaining its momentum while navigating a more constrained international support landscape.

thinking about what might have possibly caused that recent uprising in Nepal

The funniest possible outcome of this is Musk defecting to China. He could be our Guo Wengui.

Trump is imposing a 10% tariff on the Heard and McDonald Islands.

The Heard and McDonald Islands are uninhabited.

He reminds me of this type of character!

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

reasonable people can quibble about how USAID does some of this, but that’s not what’s on the table—the question on the table is stark: do we want the might of the US state to provide people w/aid & assistance, or do we just want it to crush people? Do we want to protect the people who provide aid?

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad.

There’s not.

TRUMP'S DANGEROUS FREEZE OF AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL HIRING Washington, D.C. — Today, Ranking Member of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Rick Larsen (D-WA) and Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Aviation Steve Cohen (D-TN) released the following statements after President Trump froze the hiring of Air Traffic Controllers, among other safety-critical positions. "The bipartisan FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024 directs the Administration to hire the maximum number of air traffic controllers. That's what the law says, so the Administration must rescind this ridiculous executive order," Ranking Member Larsen said. "Hiring air traffic controllers is the number one safety issue according to the entire aviation industry. Instead of working to improve aviation safety and lower costs for hardworking American families, the Administration is choosing to spread bogus DEl claims to justify this decision. I'm not surprised by the President's dangerous and divisive actions, but the Administration must reverse course. Let's get back to aviation safety and allow the FAA to do its job protecting the flying public." "Our top priority must be the safety of the flying public so an order freezing the hiring of air traffic controllers is a misguided decision and goes against the directives of our FAA Reauthorization bill," Ranking Member Cohen said. "The aviation community will speak with one voice in condemning this short-sighted policy and reaffirm our

This is who they have as the *lead attorney for HR*. A guy who is so racist he doesn't consider Irish people "fully white" and who believes consent is a "pernicious fetish".

It's a terrifying time to be an American.
