Shutting down USAID/NED grants overnight is irresponsible and disrespectful. Recipients make commitments to staff and third parties based on detailed project plans. Mature states do not do this. Legally/morally bankrupt companies, like Trump's, do. reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/news/shatter...

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

This is Carolyn Edwards. She was one of the first officers attacked and knocked out on January 6th. She bravely testified before the January 6th committee. She is one of the bravest people I know and she deserves better. (She posted this publicly on her FB page which is why I'm sharing publicly)
