I remember the first time I cooked beans in Haiti. It was 2010, right after the earthquake. I thought I knew what I was doing…Spanish-style, the way I always had.
The women cooking in the camp stopped me. They showed me their way. Slow-cooked…mashed into a purée…served over rice.
In that moment, I learned what it really means to help after a disaster. You don't come with your own recipes. You listen. You follow. You learn.
16 years later, that lesson is still the foundation of everything @wckitchen does in Haiti. Our local teams and @HASHaiti partners are cooking that same recipe - the right recipe - for families displaced by violence. And this past year, comforting food like those beans, that purée, that bowl of rice have added up to 10 million meals.

“I’m Jake Tapper, tonight correspondent Laura Loomer dives into Hunter Biden’s deranged trolling, Kellyanne Conway reveals Joe Biden fell asleep watching TV again, and Ian Miles Cheong confirms Biden is the reason he’s never left Malaysia. Those stories and Catturd, tonight.”
This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention.
The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.
And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.
Record-breaking temperatures.
A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.
The response?
Yank out the instruments and walk away.
That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.
For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.
The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.
That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

Charity admits no delay. Our responsibility before those in need makes every encounter with others a unique and unrepeatable moment of grace for love, not to be missed or postponed. The love of Christ impels us toward our brothers and sisters, and the charity and care with which we respond are the test of our faith. #ApostolicJourney #Spain
