This isn’t politics. It’s state-sanctioned violence—funded by you.
They dismantled American aid and want to use the money to detain, deport, and disappear.
This is not normal.
Stop the rescission.
Call your senator.
Make them answer for it.

President Boaki should have replied “I paid attention in school when I was growing up. What’s your excuse, Donnie?”
The fact is, this is what indifference looks like. You’ve never set foot in Africa, called it a “shithole,” don’t know its past or your own. You see the world in white and Black. Only this kind of ignorance greenlights the destruction of Kennedy’s legacy—USAID.

This pains me. And don’t let lil Marco fool you into thinking he will “get aid right”. Just look at the waste, fraud and abuse his DOS is engaging in with the pretense that it is to save lives in WB Gaza.
At least they got the correct Gaza this time.

Delaying significant portions of the newly passed bill is a feature, not a bug; it’s intended to keep mid-term voters from feeling the effects. Spread the word!

A nicely written tribute to a lifestyle - check that; a calling - to which I and many colleagues are having to say our farewells.
The Secret Life of USAID
Recently, while trying to disconnect from the dread of current events, I found myself watching The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
It’s a movie I’ve revisited on many long flights during this overseas…

I really loved this documentary about an often overlooked and unforgotten genius. Of many things I realized, one was that hearing Sly and the Family as a teenager hard-wired me for Prince. “Ha ha he he you be the genius in you”

A few days later, this was part of my and my brothers’ pre-concert routine before an amazing Bob Dylan show. Williamsport is a charming small town north of where I went to college in PA, and a nice place to watch the river flow.
