The Shutdown of U.S.A.I.D. Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands The short documentary β€œRovina’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

Thank you, New York City. Together we made history.

Now let’s get to work.

MAHA actually stands for "Make America Hungry Again" apparently.

What’s is happening and has been happening in Darfur is so inconceivably awful. The lack of action by world leaders is abhorrent and inhumane.

Leaked document. Yikes, things are about to get much worse. It looks like we’re on the verge of becoming a military state across the country. Step out of line, and the man come and take you away.

A decaying, mentally unstable old man is reigniting nuclear testing and potentially another nuclear arms race. This lunatic is going to see an AI video of an attack and end the entire world. The US is a failing state.

It goes without saying that JD Vance is an unbelievably big asshole. I’ve scarcely witnessed a person who embodies so many pathetic personality traits in one being.

Not one sitting representative or senator should collect a paycheck if the government is shut down. That is legitimately insane.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

If members of the United States military are truly being paid their salaries by a private individual, the American people should know who that individual is. Now.

Sorry but if elected officials can’t manage a government enough to keep it from being shut down for a month, everyone should be removed from office.

What an amazing era to be a spy in DC. A little adoration of our orange autocrat and you’re right in the inner circle. I would be having a field day.

Yeah, UVA is a disgrace. Any university that capitulates to this abomination of a government cannot and should not be taken seriously as an academic institution of free thought.

When books were being pulled from Iowa classrooms, these teens started an after-school club to read them Three Iowa City West high schoolers founded a book club that reads some of the country's most frequently banned books after a state law removing books with sexual content was signed in 2023. Two years later, many of the books have been reshelved and parts of the law can't be enforced.

Just weeks ago arguing that democratic language was responsible for the Kirk shooting, same people go on to call peaceful protestors terrorists. They have no actual integrity or beliefs.

Dems need to recognize that MAGA want democrats dead and want lives ruined. It’s a soft civil war imo.

I see some Trumpist fascist has made edits on Halligan’s Wikipedia page. β€œClearly” in italics and bolded? These people are the enemy of a functioning democracy.

We’re doing the studies to make the proof is so insanely unscientific and diabolical. This guy is a threat to humanity as a whole.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.

Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.
