@RagingXCarrot@BasedSavannah@Atul_Gawande Won’t only a person involved know the true extent of what happened? And if he was doing anything illegal in USAID, why would he openly advertise he works for USAID?
@GhiurEduar21831@Atul_Gawande Everything you said is fair but what you’re missing is that out of all those cuts, only about 4 people were found to have fraudulently used funds. Every other cut was politically and ideologically motivated. You’ll see it plainly if you watch the interrogations of the doge boys.
If you want to see what true elite hypocrisy looks like, look no further than tech oligarch Peter Thiel.
He is the ultimate example of a man who successfully climbed the ladder of democratic freedom and is now trying to pull it up behind him.
Thiel owes his entire fortune to the liberalism and protections of Western democracy. Moving to the United States as an immigrant and living openly as a member of a sexual minority, he benefited immensely from California's legal and social progressivism. Today, he uses that same fortune to bankroll authoritarian ideologies. His worldview is deeply rooted in a fascist contempt for democratic institutions, and he is obsessed with replacing public governance with corporate, autocratic control.
He feels absolutely no loyalty to the United States or the people living here. Thiel operates as a borderless sovereign who maintains multiple exit strategies. Whether it is his controversial fast-tracked citizenship in New Zealand or his new moves in Argentina, he is always ready to escape the consequences of the political fires he lights, leaving regular people to burn.
He is the hypocritical and dangerous ”global elite” his pawns claim to fight
The whole education system is being destroyed systematically. Please tell me how this is not worse than anything Zia did to Pakistan's education system. Colonial rulers would be proud of what the BJP is doing to finish India's worth as a knowledge centre.
The world's richest man is desperately trying to rewrite history regarding his destruction of USAID.
Elon Musk's sudden pivot to damage control proves he knows exactly how devastating his actions were, no matter how much he tries to spin it now.
In his latest gaslighting campaign, Musk claims he only stepped in to ensure there was no fraud, leaning heavily on fabricated narratives about Ukraine and COVID to shield himself from criticism. But the internet remembers everything. We all saw him brag on X about sending USAID to the wood chipper with zero regard for the global fallout.
His malicious cuts dismantled life-saving food, medical, and security infrastructure around the world. A peer-reviewed study published in The Lancet warns that the defunding of USAID will result in a staggering 14 million preventable deaths by 2030, including 4.5 million children under the age of five. Hundreds of thousands have already died. They are dying from entirely treatable conditions like malnutrition, malaria, and a lack of HIV medication because PEPFAR and global health networks were frozen overnight.
Naturally, given the chaotic nature of humanitarian crises, it is impossible to audit every single one of these deaths in real time. But while the precise statistics will be debated by academics for years, the big picture is inescapable: when you suddenly choke off medicine and food to millions of vulnerable people, catastrophic suffering and a massive loss of life are the inevitable result.
No amount of whitewashing by Musk will change the facts, and history will remember him for the lives he destroyed
Nagaland is a dry state.
Which means the sale of alcohol is illegal.
Here we see alcohol being sold openly at Niathu Resort- a resort owned partly by the CM @Neiphiu_Rio.
My only question is;
does the law apply to everyone?

🚨 CAUGHT ON CAMERA: THE SHOOTING THAT KILLED 7 MONTH OLD SAM ABU HAIKAL
Newly obtained footage exposes the moment the Abu Haikal family came under Israeli fire. Seven month old baby Sam Abu Haikal was killed, while both of his parents were wounded.
The video clearly shows the family’s car slowing to a stop when an Israeli soldier opened fire. A seven month old baby was killed in an attack that the footage appears to show was carried out without any immediate threat from the vehicle.
my instagram account with nearly 1 lakh followers was suspended because i was making no bullshit political content. tell me, where are the spaces for dissent? if you protest, you get lathi charged and water canons are used. if you bring your work online, the spaces you build are taken away from you.
how is india a democratic nation still?
Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write.

@pranavpradhi1@CJP_2029 Yes. I’m a supporter but at the same time cautiously optimistic. I’ve seen “the road to hell is paved with good intentions” play out way too many times.
An Israeli soldier testifies UNDER OATH that October 7th was a FALSE FLAG, and that he was ordered to STAND DOWN from 5:20am to 9am the day of the attack.
You could face up to 5 years in prison for sharing this video in Israel.
Now that Gaza lies in ruins—shattered, like a beloved face after a long brutality—Israel moves with a terrible confidence to the next act: The act of leaving every soul there not merely wounded, but permanently disabled. Injured, sick, hungry, homeless, without work, without hope. This is not war’s collateral damage. This is design.
As my friend Gideon Levy writes—and he knows, he knows—this is the prelude to expulsion. Think of it: a society without teachers, without doctors, without social workers, without engineers, without clerks. That is not a society. That is a holding pen. A slow erasure. And when nothing functions—no school, no hospital, no office, no heart—then it becomes ‘easy,’ they tell themselves, to scatter the people to the four corners of the earth. Like seeds from a broken pod, except no soil will take them.
We must name this. Not with rage alone, though rage is honest. But with the cold, clear tears of recognition: they are making life impossible so that departure becomes the only ‘choice.’ And the world watches, adjusts its spectacles, and calls for restraint. Restraint! There is no restraint in a slow drowning.

One of India’s premier law enforcement agency is now working for a shady businessman and clearing any hurdles for him by arm twisting others.
As always, the country has accepted that this is the new normal.

"I saw with my own eyes that there were at least 10 Palestinian children under the age of 5 without heads."
