A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Maybe it's just a shout in the void, but: Don't let them take your humanity. Don't let them make you hateful and spiteful. Don't turn away from people who need help or comfort.

This is straight out of Project 2025, by the way.
It would gut Head Start, end school lunch assistance, and funnel taxpayer dollars from public schools to private and religious institutions.
Trump has it out for working families.

We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines.
The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds.
It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.

Happy BLACK History Month. I read Black books every month but I got two stacks for y'all.
First stack is books by Black authors I loved and the second are the ones I’m getting to.

Elon’s team tapping into the Treasury’s payment system is like hacking America’s bank account. No billionaire should have that kind of access to public funds. This isn’t disruption—it’s a threat to democracy. Who’s really in control if one man can slip into the government’s wallet?

US media is downplaying the tariff war, but Canada isn’t. Up north, they’re openly planning counter-tariffs while Americans get vague headlines. It’s not just different perspectives—it’s what’s being left out for US audiences.

Sorry, Mexico and Canada. You see, a narrow margin of our electorate decided that being mean to trans people and immigrants and being allowed to say slurs at work again was more important than literally everything else

USAID.gov is down. Why is this concerning? Trump has no legal authority to eliminate a congressionally funded independent agency. The work of USAID is vital, and if this can happen to them, it can happen to any of us.

The federal funding freeze is still in effect. Reminder: these confusion tactics aren't going anywhere, so we must remain wary of how the Trump administration wields chaos to secretly push their extreme agenda on the American people.
