They are sending roving bands of masked thugs with the stated goal of kidnapping 20 million brown people to transport them to any country they can pay to take them. All this has been cleared by The Stolen Court.
This is not deportation.
This is ethnic cleansing.

Nothing about this will “make America healthy again.” Nothing about this is about fiscal responsibility. This is about undermining medical education, medical research, and making healthcare inaccessible to those who need it the most.

Make no mistake, removing the CDC recommendations for COVID-19 vaccines for kids and pregnant women is going to kill people, and it will disproportionately affect people who cannot afford to pay for vaccines out of pocket.
Do not forget that this decision was made without a confirmed CDC Director.

Our future does not look bright, folks. We have to change course, and soon, if we want to protect our health and the health of future generations.
Medical advancements are great and have brought us so far, but our special hubris-driven blind stupidity is going to undo so much of that progress.

"We won’t even know about the new deaths, because all the data collection was supported by U.S.A.I.D." It will be years before we understand the size of this crisis--and we may only understand it when highly resistant forms of TB come home to roost in rich countries.
Critical reporting from Stephanie Nolen on what the interruption of TB funding actually means for those living with the disease--and those caring for them.

You don’t order shredding/burning documents like this unless you have something to hide.
This is actually against the law according to the Federal Records Act of 1950.
What will it take for Congress to wake up and actually do something before it’s too late?

The cover-up…
USAID officials were ordered to destroy classified documents, raising concerns about compliance with federal law. An internal email sent to remaining bureau leaders at the agency’s Washington headquarters provided guidance on “clearing our classified safes and personnel documents.”

The concerted effort to cover up/remove non-whiteness from their presence is astounding.
Don’t let them tell you they’re about saving money. They paid for the paint and the labor to literally whitewash their walls.

My instinct is to make the case that USAID is extremely good, actually. But I feel like it’s more important to say, “What is happening is antagonistic to the foundational document of the nation.”
