The horrors that are being inflicted on people, including the wholly innocent, in our name as Americans should make everyone rise up in protest and organize to oust these pretenders to the throne when all they seek is more power and wealth for themselves and cruel crumbs for the rest of us.
“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

People, we have to speak up/RISE before this stealth coup goes any further. (I posted this earlier on FB where I rarely am anymore, so probably have decimated my algorithm, but am curious to see if it gets any response.)

2/3 USAID is part of the soft power wielded by US since the 20th century, demonstrably contributing to peaceful nation building, which keeps all of us safer. An unelected billionaire is UNLAWFULLY gutting the institutions that have made America great. CONGRESS, where the fork are you?

1/3 USAID is an essential building block to US foreign policy. As a Peace Corps volunteer, my program for rural women was funded by USAID. A grant from USAID provided a water catchment system for a small village - water that still flows today, 40 years later.

I rebuke and condemn the monstrous and grotesque racism expressed by Trump & others in their ignorant and crass assignation of blame for this tragedy, which is an affront to Kiah Huggins’ life’s work.
Signing off for the night.

Kiah was set to join our faculty at Howard Law School in the Fall. She was a dedicated, brilliant civil rights lawyer poised to make a powerful difference in our world.
Our hearts are broken & we pray for her family & friends.

Think about this and how Fox and the GOP would politicize an Army helicopter crashing into a commercial airplane days after a Black woman president tried to gut air safety & installed the least qualified man ever as Defense Secretary.
THAT is the degree to which Dems should politicize this crash.

The head of the FAA, Mike Whitaker, resigned on January 20 — one year into his 5 year term — after facing relentless criticism from Musk for not approving SpaceX missions quickly enough.
The Senate confirmed him unanimously in 2023.
No acting FAA head has been appointed.
