USAID cost us almost nothing and saved millions and millions of lives. The goodwill it earned us was priceless. My heart shatters to think about the people suffering and dying because we threw it all away to save a few pennies.
As a direct result of the obscene actions of Russell Vought and Elon Musk in destroying USAID, we can expect “at least 9.4 million additional deaths by 2030, if the current funding trend continues.
About 2.5 million of those deaths are projected to be children under the age of 5.”

This video taught me a lot I didn't know about renewable energy tech and why its ascent has been so stratospheric, and then it ends with a wonderful political rant that includes the word "Menards" said in a heavy Midwestern accent, making me feel at home.

ICE tear gassed a bunch of children on Saturday. This was a massive escalation of force. They were shooting tear gas at the back of the crowd, it took these unmasked people maybe 3-5 minutes in the cloud of tear gas to escape in without trampling. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...
ICE is afraid of children protesting
“Next time, I’ll be back with a gas mask.”
