If the rumors of another EO to fold #USAID with #State are true… not totally the same beasts or political system but I think it’s worth looking at lessons of when #DfID was folded with FCO. www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/comment/depa...
DfID’s rise and fall provides lessons for government departments | Institute for Government
The Department for International Development lost political backing despite its successes.

Trump's been purging and intimidating USAID employees.
Now there’s a rumor he'll dissolve USAID as an independent agency.
It was created by JFK and established in law to further our national security and spread hope.
This'd be illegal and against our national interests.

Discovered the art of kintsugi in Kyoto. When shattered pieces are mended with gold. Those scars not only made it beautiful but stronger. That little bowl was an invitation to care for broken things & people, to rebuild stronger, to let the scars tell stories of resilience.

Some people who supported Palestinian freedom for the past 14 months seem upset about Syrians getting freedom from a dictator.
And a lot of people who spent the past 14 months opposing Palestinian freedom are now cheering Syrians getting freedom.
So much moral inconsistency.

“Ignoring isn’t the same as ignorance, you have to work at it.” – Margaret Atwood
Colonialism is not in the past. It’s happening right now, through erasure, manipulation, exploitation, and control.
Pretending it’s not is a deliberate act.
See it?
Call it out!
