We, the US citizens, feel unsafe too.

No Kings On June 14β€”Flag Dayβ€”Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. ...

Find your local rally. Be there! Cuffing US Senators and turning the military on citizens has to stop.

Quote of the day: Trump’s tariffs, like SchrΓΆdinger’s cat, are simultaneously dead and alive. - Ron Charles, WashPost

As someone who lived for many years in Lesotho…the tariffs on this tiny country are cruel and unusual punishment.

I spent my middle school years living in a Lesotho and attending a Basotho school. Someone should mention that Wakanda (from Black Panther) Lesotho and everybody has heard of that!

Also USAID was several months behind on payments BEFORE the freeze…so they would need to make good on those debts before companies could be solvent and functional.

I applied for unemployment since I lost my job thanks to the freeze on foreign aid. I think it’s important that the statistics reflect the destruction.

And a big chunk of that money is to buy lifesaving drugs that are manufactured outside of Africa and whose prices are negotiated by others. The system is structured to be inequitable.

Today is a hard day. My company is laying off most of their staff (including me probably). We are in the middle of a tearful zoom call with staff around the globe. We are not β€˜criminals’ or β€˜evil’….just people trying to make the world a better place every day.

KEEP CATS SAFEβ€”there is clear proof of cat-human household transmission of bird flu. CDC scientists posted the dataβ€”but suddenly deleted soon afterwards. CDC is being blatantly muzzled.

It is illegal to reveal the identities of covert agents. Not everyone at CIA is covert, but some will be on that list.
