Is there anything /less/ American than the idea that the only way to become an American is to be born into it?

The USAID cuts by the Trump admin were devastating and fatal.

But one American group teaming up with locals in South Sudan to bring fresh water to tens of thousands of people, showed me how they are stepping up and saving lives.

Videos, photos, interviews inside:
NEW: This is a story that took months to pull together and broke my heart a million times writing it.
But this isnt a sad story.
This is about courage, compassion and survival. And the herculean efforts of a group of people who refuse to lay down and die.

Things that I have come to accept about the future of the only country I have ever known are:

1. Alot of people are going to die preventable and horrific deaths. Either through bureaucratic or brute violence
2. This will not be fixed in my lifetime
3. Every moment of life, every action, is precious

This is what White House staff is doing with President Trump.
The comments on this are all about how sweet it is and I feel insane. Using AI to make fake memories of your grandma with dementia and telling her they happened and then filming her reaction

Russia just bombed the main highway leading into Kharkiv - heavy traffic with families returning home after Christmas - cars are burning with people in them.

And we discuss signing something with them?

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.

"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.

"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

Destroy the Metrics, Destroy the Truth
Trump’s decimation of public health systems isn’t about efficiency, cost-saving, or even ideology. It’s about building a world without truth or the possibility of accountability.
