Public man-made death: The dismantling of USAID “has already caused the deaths of six hundred thousand people, two-thirds of them children.”

That’s 1000+ excess dead children every day. Every day.

 "I don't think we're going to turn the page on this moment until there’s a very consistent & clear message...that cruelty, especially cruelty to the point of wishing death on people, is so far beyond the pale that you can't have a career in public life when you do that." @davidfrenchjag.bsky.social

Okay, so I did it. In honor of Sandwich Guy, on what should be the last day of his trial, I figured out the chords. And so, with apologies to the late and great Bob Marley, I banged out this quick and (very) rough rendition of "I Threw the Sandwich." 🤣

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

"There's a big problem with Christian Nationalism, and that's that it's not Christian. Christian Nationalism appropriates symbols of Christianity, but it is a secular movement about power and bringing power to a specific group of people. That is not what Christianity is about."

Finally saw the new Superman movie and loved it. It said all the right things about adoption, immigration, and the value of life. Plus, Superman is hot.

A program in Flint, MI, gave $1,500 to any/all pregnant people and $500/month for the first year of their infant’s life.

Among the benefits, those babies experienced lower rates of prematurity and low birth weight, which resulted in fewer NICU admissions, saving the city of Flint $6.2 million/year.

Watch Brian Kilmeade casually suggest we should murder all the homeless people in the United States. Over half a million human beings.

He has no business being on TV talking to millions.

We cannot gloss over insanity like this.

Otherwise they will take it as permission to go ahead and do it.
I hardly believe my own ears.

FOX host Brian Kilmeade suggests KILLING homeless people.

BRIAN KILMEADE (FOX HOST): Or involuntary lethal injection.

JONES: Yeah.

KILMEADE : Or something. Just kill them.
