The mountains are underwater and fascism is on the rise, so I recommend going ahead and getting that divorce you've been thinking about.

I hate to say this but I think things are just going to keep getting increasingly chaotic and morally shocking before this tidal wave of sadism finally recedes
Its important to identify for yourself what moral injury (as witnesses & those coerced) feels like and how to recognize its after effects

Takes an enormous amount of courage + determination. It is so easy to pretend none of this is possible to change, or that you in particular are not the one to join in to help change it, or that it's 'too late' for you in particular. Just really encouraged by the stories i hear like this.

Dismantling USAID & cancelling >80% of aid caused ~750,000 deaths by mid-2025

Ebo Taylor, who did for Ghanaian music what his friend Fela Kuti did for Nigeria, has been called the greatest rhythm guitarist in history.
His son Kweku Taylor:
“The world has lost a giant, a colossus of African music, leaving behind an unmatched artistry legacy. Dad, your light will never fade.”
