The Shutdown of U.S.A.I.D. Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands
The short documentary βRovinaβs Choiceβ 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

Whatβs 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 weβre 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.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.
Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.
These arenβt 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 canβt manage a government enough to keep it from being shut down for a month, everyone should be removed from office.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and heβs 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. Letβs be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.
