If you’re moved by Cabo Verde’s world cup run, pay a visit to the country!

There’s a direct flight from Rhode Island to Cabo Verde (~7 hours) - a boost to the tourism industry would be a fitting tribute

The Trump administration just killed a federal program that hundreds of small farmers relied on to survive, and the damage is already landing.

The program paid farmers full market price for their crops, then routed that fresh food to food banks and the families who needed it. 

In California alone, it supported roughly 870 farms across more than 50 counties, moved 23 million pounds of food, and put over $60 million directly into local economies. For many, it was the most reliable buyer they had.

Then the White House pulled the plug, right as farmers were buying seeds for spring. Contracts already in motion were canceled mid-delivery. Three years of funding these growers had planned around vanished overnight.

Without those federal dollars, the future is more uncertain than ever for these farms and the millions of hungry families they feed. 

That is the pattern. Slash a program that feeds seniors and supports farmers, save almost nothing, and call it winning.

@classic_film So many great moments, but Hurt going for a run and then lighting a cig from the pack hidden in his tiny shorts. Sums it up.

@amandalitman That statement doesn't mean anything.

It's like saying we want our ocean on a sunny day with manageable waves and agreeable temperature.

Instead of discussing how Elon Musk is now the world's first trillionaire, we should talk about how he killed hundreds of thousands of people through his dismantling of food and medical aid to poor countries

@jonfavs @TVietor08 Part of working with USAID was pretty rigorous quant and qual metics. Monitoring and Evaluation was a fundamental part of the work.
It was so clear that it was all disregarded in the clear cutting.

[Brian Kavanagh @brianhkavanagh]

@mattyglesias As a former USAID adjacent person. Losing a job sucks, but the good that colleagues were doing was actively measurable and predominately a positive force and often a lifeline for some of the most vulnerable.

@GhostsofDC Was there almost every Tuesday during grad school and some years after for wings.
They once or twice put Kasteel Tripel on draft. The back patio was a gem.
Along with the Brick, an absolute titan in the DC beer and brewing scene. Stay frosty Big Hunt.
