One estimate is that the cessation of USAID funding could result in ~25 million additional deaths over 15 years. I would like to see a story written about how potentially murderous Trump could be, so that people in Congress who could stop him can ask themselves if that's what they want the US to be.

Apparently getting masked thugs to snatch a student off the street and send her to a detention centre 1000 miles away - for writing an opinion piece - is "uncivil" but absolutely necessary.

Phew, you've arrived here, which is good timing, as I've had to leave the other bird place that's become SpaceHitler's Fourth Reich.
