Okay but hear me out. Does James Kennedy from #vanderpumprules not look like Kim's 4th-great-grandfather?? #celebritylookalikes

New #podcast episode! Got pretty real about the Confederate legacy and the Lost Cause. It's a tough one, but a good one!

Please call your local reps. Your voice does matter! Also, if you're in the vicinity of DC, join protestors on 2/5.
02.02.2025 19:33 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I know this sucks to think about when we're all at max capacity for outrage. But thousands of my colleagues who have dedicated their lives to serving the American people have already been unlawfully ousted. It's only a matter of time before I lose my job too. Civil Servants aren't 'the swamp'. (/6)
02.02.2025 19:31 — 👍 6 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Legally, they need Congress to dismantle us, but if they can do it with an EO and DOGE gutting our workforce without due process, and if the American people don't care enough to stop it, then they're well on their way to gutting/hijacking the rest of it. Looking at you, the Treasury. 👀 (/5)
02.02.2025 19:28 — 👍 6 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Why should you care that we're being illegally dismantled?
We're the test case. We're the easiest first target that Trump and Elon are using to see how much they can get away with before they start dismantling the other agencies. (/4)
Our aid also allows us to build diplomatic relationships with countries we might not otherwise have been able to. (/3)
02.02.2025 19:21 — 👍 4 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0What is USAID, and why should I care about what's happening right now?
USAID provides humanitarian aid on behalf of the American people. In just one example, our PEPFAR program has saved over 25 million people from HIV/AIDS related deaths. (/2)
A little peek into my personal life:
I'm a genealogist and podcaster by night, but by day, I work at USAID. Yes, that USAID-the one that Trump, Elon Musk, and DOGE are illegally dismantling right now. And for the past 2 weeks, I've had a front row seat to an oligarchy in practice. (/1)
Let me be clear,
This is about to be the Blackest, BLACKETY Black History Month.
I don’t care who else is going to celebrate my people.
I AM GOING TO CELEBRATE MY PEOPLE.
America was founded by white slaveowners who thought that all the men created equal were just other white (rich) men. And based on the row of oligarchs at the 2025 inauguration, yeah I guess we really are growing closer to those principles. #history #education

Who do you think they were?
