They were promised a lifeline to 'graduate' from poverty. Then it was taken away Thousands of South Sudanese refugees and impoverished locals in Uganda saw a brighter future with a new USAID-funded project. They'd get $205 and coaching to build a business. Then came the cuts.

OMG!

The Shutdown of U.S.A.I.D. Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands The short documentary “Rovina’s Choice” tells the story of what goes when aid goes.

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Had a friend in Thailand send the “Trump waiting for his photo while person passes out” pic to me. We are a global laughing stock.

Writing about Elon Musk’s pay package without leading with this is like profiling John Wayne Gacy’s booming party clown career.

This story needs to be brought into the spotlight.

Knee injuries! The worst. Hope you’re feeling better…

How will the dismantling of USAID affect U.S. relief efforts in Jamaica? USAID was the lead American agency in disaster response. Now that it's been dismantled, questions are arising about how effective U.S. relief efforts will be in Jamaica after the hurricane.

It's becoming chillingly clear: an administration that gleefully dismantled USAID and consigned countless people to slow death by starvation and preventable disease will not hesitate to inflict hunger on tens of millions of Americans by cutting off SNAP funds.

Reminder:

So, if I was a bad guy and wanted to attack the US, right now would be an opportune time as our president seems to be deep into the beginning stages of dementia…

It's ever incredible to me that all it would take is for a handful of people in Congress to stop pretending this is all fine and yet, nope. Survivalist nihilism is their north star.

Some tips for painting storms. Enjoy!

I’m sure that “legal vetting” companies are paying the FBI to go after illegal betting. At least giving $ to Las Vegas-living Kash Patel.

How Trump is Building a Violent, Shadowy Federal Police Force Trump's DHS appointees have dismantled civil rights guardrails, protected agents' anonymity and encouraged them to wear masks, threatened groups that stood in their way, and overwhelmed legal challenges to their arrests and tactics.

“ICE, their secret police, is their tool,” said Michelle Brané, a human rights attorney who directed DHS’ ombudsman office under Biden. “Once they have that power, which they have now, there’s nothing stopping them from using it against citizens.”

Ummmm…yeah…a mystery payment for US Military salaries is “unusual”, Politico. OMG.

Almost every major news story this week is about how the entire economy is now gambling, scams, bribes and theft.

Hotline to call for ICE Gestapo illegal plate swapping! #iceout

On Threads, the usual suspects are telling ppl about to lose SNAP benefits to just start a garden. As a gardener, I had to laugh. You need at LEAST an acre of land to feed a family of 4. Start-up costs are enormous. But yes, subsistence farming on the balcony of your rental apartment is the answer

In late August, Sam O’Hara began filming National Guard troops in D.C. while playing “The Imperial March” from his phone or a handheld speaker and posted the videos to his TikTok account.

He was detained Sept. 11.

This is very good

Did we think this administration would do anything else than break everything of value, then say, “Don’t worry. We have a great plan.” Then, just wander off?

As a proud former employee of USAID, I hope that these facts hit every person who voted for Trump b/c we “just didn’t have the $ to help all those foreign people.”

United, we stand. Divided, we fall.

Together, we are strong. Together, we are wealthy.
