In its simplest terms, the apparent demise of #USAID is the result of the world's richest man ending a program that helps millions of poor people. You don't need a Ph.D. in moral theology to see why this is an evil. You can just read Jesus's parables on the rich and the poor.

An excellent book by my friend @elmunc.bsky.social and well worth a read now

Stories of resistance from within can help.

This book tells of lawyers who helped run the Japanese American camps of WWII.

We can learn from their struggles to reconcile job with conscience.

Would you please share?
