On the worst thing Trump has done, abolishing USAID: "In 2022 it cost the average American household $6 to prevent 1/2 as many deaths as occurred in the Holocaust... For all our faults, we are not so small a people as to refuse such a financial and moral bargain."
How could the govt have become so callous? USAID official reflects on the PR failure: "Though USA had just completed one of the most successful humanitarian responses in modern history, there was no presidential address, no plaque, not even a full public report. We merely shared some ineffective social media posts and moved on to the next disaster. It is baffling in hindsight." https://t.co/r0RT6VHwtL

Nice summation of President Trump's consequential two weeks but no mention of the most important issue for which he is the chief architect: namely, the steadily intensifying transfer of wealth. All presidents since the late 1970s have contributed and have lacked courage.

Michael explains why President Trump just had a very consequential 2 weeks.

US Supreme Court is corrupt with no accountability rules.
Executive Branch is corrupt with Chief in pursuit of autocracy.
Congress is scared and self-interested.
Media is long-form TicToc failing to spotlight the BBB and continuing transfer of wealth.
Only hope: We, the people!

@NewsSlingshot The issues he raises are largely a distraction from the important question: How can Americans, who pay on average 13k per year for health care, have much poorer health outcomes than other wealthy countries that pay about half as much? Answer: Start by dismantling Citizens United.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out because I was not a socialist.Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out....Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out....Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Obviously the war in Ukraine needs to end. Polls say Ukrainians themselves want the war to end. If you want Ukrainians to keep dying in this war against the will of the Ukrainians themselves while you sit safe at home eating snacks and posting on the internet, you're a monster.

And saying this really doesn't go far enough. We should all be raging at everyone who pushed things to this point, especially at the leaders of the western empire we live under. These psychopaths knowingly provoked an unwinnable war of unfathomable horror by amassing a proxy military threat on Russia's border in ways the US would never permit on its own border, and refused off-ramp after off-ramp both before and after Russia invaded. Everyone who paved the way to this nightmare belongs in a cage.

And that includes Trump. The sitting president is on social media right now trying to pin this whole thing on Zelensky, when Trump himself helped pave the way to this horror by becoming the first president to start openly pouring weapons into Ukraine while ramping up cold war tensions and shredding treaties with Russia. Trump, Obama, Biden, Boris Johnson, and all of NATO helped throw Ukraine into the meat grinder while countless western experts and analysts warned urgently that their actions would result in Ukraine's destruction. They should all suffer immense consequences.

But of course we all know they won't. None of the government officials, empire managers, career politicians, pundits and think tank swamp monsters who helped steer Ukraine into the inferno will suffer any consequences of any kind for their atrocities. Nobody will even lose their career.

And what's worse is knowing that most of them will re-emerge like zombies from the grave to help manufacture support for the next imperial bloodbath. Many of the same people who drummed up support for the war in Ukraine were responsible for helping to destroy Iraq, when they should have been languishing in a prison cell at The Hague this entire time.

We are ruled by the worst among us. Our world will never know peace as long as these freaks are at the steering wheel.

Another career diplomat has resigned from the U.S. State Department because of Israel's genocide. Blinken must be sent to The Hague.

Alfred McCoy at TomDispatch today: Given the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, not enough attention is being paid to the developing new Cold War in the Pacific.

“Stop profiting from genocide.”

On Monday, more than 200 Jewish activists and their allies were arrested as they blocked entrances to the New York Stock Exchange calling for an Israeli arms embargo and an end to war profiteering by companies like Raytheon and Lockheed Martin.
