Summary
The Trump administration has canceled 90% of USAIDās foreign aid contracts, including critical programs that provide lifesaving therapeutic food to malnourished children.
Mana Nutritionās CEO reports that ready-to-ship boxes of peanut paste that could save approximately 300,000 children are now stranded in a Georgia warehouse.
Despite Secretary of State Rubioās claims that ālifesaving humanitarian assistanceā would be spared, numerous essential health programs have been terminated, including those preventing diseases like polio, HIV, and Ebola.
These cuts contradict claims about targeting āwokenessā or āwaste,ā instead showing a reckless abandonment of Americaās global humanitarian commitments.
So Iām glad you said this, Iāve been having a hard time the past week because I donāt see any way out of our current situation beyond what you have just described and itās been stressing me because Iāve both felt alone in my conclusions and not wanted to ask my friends, family, and coworkers if Iām way out of bounds because I donāt want to make this time harder on them than I know it already is.
Granted I still donāt feel great about the potentiality of losing my life in such events but Iām grateful to you for making me feel less alone right now. Cheers!
Appreciate that itās getting through to some people. Its frustrating to think about but even more frustrating that people canāt call a spade a spade. The writing has been on the wall for years and our paralyzed inertia has taken us over the cliff. Willing that inertia to take us back is less than pointless.
Itās scary but also liberating in a way. Weāre as close right now to restoring the Roman Republic as we are the American Republic. Whatever comes out will be a blank skate and you get to write your own part onto it, whatever that may be.
Crazy things do happen, nobody really knows how any story ends. Trump was a few inches from having this timeline dissolve in pink mist less than a year ago. Maybe some important people will explode in a Tesla fireball accident.
