🥗 Dismantling USAID was the ultimate betrayal of a promise, and it was mass murder. Unforgivable.
USAID didn’t fail. It fed 127,000 kids—then was erased mid-crisis. No speech. No tribute. Just silence. They didn’t end a program. They liquidated a covenant. The last American promise not built on conquest—but care.

Even one death from USAID funding cuts is too many. But the death toll is staggering. Restore these programs at State. Now.
“Feeding is severely difficult,” said Bulama, 40, who was a farmer before Boko Haram militants swept through her village, forcing her to flee. She and about 400,000 other people at the humanitarian hub of Dikwa — virtually the entire population — rely on assistance.

Yagana Bulama cradles her surviving infant. The other twin is gone, a casualty of malnutrition and the international funding cuts that are snapping the lifeline for displaced communities in Nigeria’s insurgency-ravaged Borno state.

When they got there,the guard told him that the clinic was closed because funding was stopped.

Her seven year-old son died that night. That’s just one preventable death in an ocean of nameless faces that have or will die because of this administration‘s greed.
Marco Rubio said no one has died due to U.S. aid cuts. This mom disagrees
Mariam Mohammed says her younger son died when she could not get treatment for him at a U.S.-funded clinic that had temporarily closed. Researchers say there are many thousands of cases like his.

USAID programs cut by Sec. Rubio must be restored at the State Department ASAP. So much death already is inexcusable but it’s not too late to save lives.
300,000 deaths so far as a result of the USAID cuts. Three. Hundred. Thousand. Even if that's wildly inaccurate and it's only 1/10 of that? That's still 30,000 unnecessary deaths on Marco Rubio and Elon Musk. Horrific.

Aid groups say USAID cuts are already having deadly consequences
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said at a hearing last week that no one has died from USAID cuts. But aid groups say abruptly shutting down those programs is having deadly consequences.
