Finally, we’re starting to see some fight. We need more of this 🔥
🚨Trump’s decision to shut down USAID has frozen critical work to deliver vital assistance around the globe, and put China in the driver’s seat.

The danger is real. The Constitutional crisis is real. A Right Wing billionaire from South Africa has full access to your PERSONAL information and government payments.
This is a crisis response app. If a diplomat is in danger, for any reason, this sends their whereabouts to diplomatic security in country and DC
USAID employees overseas are no longer able to access their government security app, which gives them this error code (images provided to me by USAID worker)

I want to emphasize the importance of staying committed for the long term. Don’t let Trump take a toll on your mental health. Avoid getting caught up in every outrage. Instead, focus your anger on productive actions and allow yourself to step away from politics when needed to recharge.

I'm pretty sure if the Senate agrees to Recess and gives up it's right to advise and consent, it will be the moment the United States of America is no longer a functioning democracy.

A frustrating thing for me right now is the media narrative that RFK Jr is just an “anti-vaxxer” when he has said so many crazy things about other stuff over the years. We compiled 10 nutty clips on various topics, which still barely scratches the surface. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...
