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

Good morning.
Last night was a referendum on Trump's corruption, cruelty, and chaos.
But it's also not a coincidence these big wins came at the exact moment when Democrats are using our power to stand for something and be strong.
A huge risk to not learn that lesson.

Democrats: Now is Not the Time to Back Down.
Moderate Senate Democrats who are looking for an offramp right now are completely missing the moment if, on the heels of last night’s election landslide, they are entertaining the idea of capitulating to Trump and the Republicans in the fight to protect Americans’ health care. Voters have sent a resounding message: We want leaders who fight for us, and we want solutions that make life more affordable. The onus is on Republicans, who have total control of this shutdown, to bring the government back by restoring health care access, as the American public demands

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.
Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.
They are not the same.

Since the raids began, over 170 American citizens have been detained by federal agents without warrants, without probable cause, and without due process.
Let that sink in: 170 U.S. citizens, unlawfully detained in our own country.

(around an image of the No Kings logo) IT’S OFFICIAL
Nearly 7 million people have attended today's peaceful protests, which makes No Kings Day the biggest single-day protest against tyranny in American history!
With more than 2,700 lawful and peaceful protests across all 50 states, No Kings Day was 14 times larger than both of Trump's presidential inaugurations (combined).
After a week of ridiculous Republican smears and Trump claiming that “very few people are going to be there,” you just made history. #NoKings
