Beyond the staggering moral dimensions, the wholesale destruction of USAID in the blink of an eye last year will live as one of the worst foreign policy and national security blunders in American history.
@SamanthaJPower lists just some of the tragic, immediate costs and consequences below.
Longterm, it will mean a world less stable and free--with more violence and conflict; disease, pandemics and mass migrations. Neither oceans nor the military can shield the U.S. from the impacts.
AND this shameful and foolish abandonment will result in less respect for, and allegiance to, the United States of America.

One way to push back against an authoritarian is to mock him.

trump is so weak and insecure he is now demanding our respect.

So I’m sending him my favorite picture below.

Feel free to retweet and send your favorite picture or video to @realDonaldTrump.

these are the people JD Vance told lurid lies about ("eating dogs and cats") to win power by attracting the votes of embittered racists

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

Imagine taking a few Bible verses on human sexuality as literal divine commands from God for all society, but minimizing 2,000+ verses calling for the care of immigrants, the marginalized, the oppressed, and the poor to be a personal choice.

[Christopher Hale @ChristopherHale]

“Dear migrants, before I say any other word to you, I want to bow before your dignity.

“You are not numbers or case files.

“You are people — with a family and a home left behind, with dreams that no one has the right to scorn.”

Understanding Trump's Surrender to Iran: A Quick Guide

[Marlene Robertson🇨🇦 @marlene4719]

Reporter: “Will you hold anyone accountable for the strike on a school that killed more than 100 children?”

Trump: “No. It’s such a strange question to be asked. It’s a long time ago. Mistakes are made. I would ask Hegseth that question.”

You killed 168 little girls and not a single word of regret or condolence. There has never been a bigger piece of human garbage than this fucking monster.

[Angry Staffer @Angry_Staffer]

Can’t help but notice all the people who said Obama would desecrate the White House with Escalades and rap music on the South Lawn are absolutely loving this UFC fight on the South Lawn.

Probably just a coincidence.

We have this, but kids cancer research was deemed wasteful spending.

[Jett 🜲 @iky_fwjett]

Why do Republicans say AOC is “just a bartender” when she has a masters in economics, but they don’t say Markwayne Mullin is just a plumber?

HINT: racism and misogyny

[Adam Analysis @adamemedia1]

The amount of bread and circuses required to keep Americans distracted from their own ruins is genuinely breathtaking.

[The Iran Spectator @IR_Media24]

🇺🇸TRUMP: "I've settled eight wars, actually nine, and now it looks like we could have 10."

🇮🇷IRAN: "This man actually started a war, lost it, and fools everyone by saying he settled it. Absolutely crazy." 🤣

[𝓔𝓶 ♡ @emkenobi]

The President of the United States is promoting his own crypto coin at a UFC fight being held in front of the White House. That is a real sentence. What are we doing.

[Suzie rizzio @Suzierizzo1]

This is what it looks like in front of the Lincoln Memorial now after Trump’s Birthday Party. Who’s paying to clean this mess up because we know it’s not the UFC!

[😱 Scary Larry 😱 🇺🇦✊🏻🇺🇸🗽 @aintscarylarry]

The NYT bombshell confirms what we already know. It’s not conjecture. It’s not a fabrication. It’s not a “Hoax.” Donald trump is a child-raping pedophile & the entire republican party is engaged in the most massive coverup in history to prevent the world from realizing this fact.

[Democratic Coalition @TheDemCoalition]

That's a great observation.

The right's screaming outrage about DEI is not about qualifications, it's really all about racism

And this is proof positive right here.

Why Trump really just decided bomb Iran…

This was just published.

NASHVILLE: “If a data center project is not good for a zoo, it’s not good for an HBCU.”

Rep. @brotherjones_, students, alumni at @Fisk1866 U opposed a mysteriously-funded on-campus data center project shrouded in secrecy.

(His environmental racism class was abruptly canceled🤔)

[Devin Nunes' Cattle Dog 🇺🇦 🇪🇺🇺🇸🇨🇦 🇦🇺 @Kaos_Vs_Control]

Erin Brockovich exposes the terrifying reality of the AI boom. She confirms over 4,300 massive data centers are being secretly rammed down the throats of American communities! Tech oligarchs are completely ignoring the public while operating with zero oversight!

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

If we’re ever going to turn this country around, this absolutely needs to happen.
