Did you know that $100M in food aid is rotting in warehouses that could feed the entire population of Gaza for a month and half, but a 28-year-old at DOGE is holding it hostage? www.reuters.com/world/us-aid...
Exclusive: US aid cuts leave food for millions mouldering in storage
The food stocks have been stuck inside four U.S. government warehouses since the Trump administration's decision in January to cut global aid programs.

Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century."

In addition to the horrifying attack on trans healthcare, the proposed rule also removes coverage from DACA recipients, cuts the enrollment period in half, and generally enshittifies the process. But insurers make more $$.

hi, cis folks!
if we *are* going to talk ACA, RFK's HHS proposed a rule to remove *all trans care* from ACA essential health benefit status.
~25mil people are insured by ACA & if 1% are trans, that's 250,000 people who'd lose access to care.
that's bad! take 2 minutes to stand with trans people.🧵

I too see a lot of people struggling to figure out what to do and here's a decent article on the subject
The question I've been asked most as we endure the legal dumpster fire that is the Trump Administration is, "What can we do about it when it's not election season?" @timothynoah.bsky.social has an outstanding essay in the @newrepublic.com addressing that question. newrepublic.com/article/1931...

I think that's easy to see from somebody in their 50s. We've had 30 years or more to observe the patterns and for someone who's just coming into brain maturity this must seem like its out of the blue - randomly and weird.
Those that came before us still hold most of the power and money though.
