Truthout · USAID Cuts Lead to Global Rise in Death, Hunger, Poverty, and DiseaseThe cuts have already caused some 300,000 deaths and could lead to more than 3 million preventable deaths per year.
I've been impressed with NPR's unflinching headlines since Trump's return. No wonder Trump is trying desperaty to pull their funding. I highly recommend supporting them if you can. And please tell your senators, reps to support them.

I'm going to be calling it the "big, bullshitty betrayal."
I like that Dems are calling it a betrayal but just cannot tolerate keeping the word "beautiful" in there.
Baloney, bunk, babble, braindead, balderdash, bummer...

Call your representatives every single day until this is dropped. Every. Fucking. Day. That's what I plan to do.
The Texas Tribune · Political appointees would have more control over Texas universities’ courses and hiring under bill approved in HouseSenate Bill 37 would give more power to university regents, who are appointed by the governor, to vet and veto new curricula and administrators.

Do you know what's really awesome? All we have to do is NOT GIVE UP.
Keep calling. Keep speaking. Keep writing. Go to town halls and protests. Keep encouraging each other. Keep demanding change. Keep financially supporting civil rights organizations and media outlets that do not bend, if you can.
#MAGA exists on repeated lies, we can kill the movement by repeating truth.
Be relentless.

Today's ideas for calling your representatives:
1. Demand that Congress block Trump's ability to levy tariffs.

2. Demand investigation and an end to unconstitutional detainment and deportations. ICE must follow due process and respect human rights, or no one is safe.
3. Tell them to vote against the SAVE Act, and to protect our right to vote.

And it feels like they will never stand up to him...until they do.
No one knows the tipping point. But once we find it, we'll all believe of course it was bound to happen, this was all too crazy.
So I'm going to keep calling.
If you haven't called your senators or congressperson before, this is a great resource to get started.

“We call on the administration to cease its wholesale assault on U.S. science, and we urge the public to join this call. Share this statement with others, contact your representatives in Congress, and help your community understand what is at risk. The voice of science must not be silenced. We all benefit from science, and we all stand to lose if the nation’s research enterprise is destroyed.”

Tell them that Trump's attack on the Smithsonian and history is shameful.
Why should White people be ashamed of what our fellow Black citizens have accomplished? Or what women have accomplished?
Many MSM articles avoid addressing the full depth of depravity in Trump's executive order, this one is better written:

Today's ideas:
Attorney General Pam Bondi and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson are both threatening to end courts and get rid of judges that rule against Trump. Let your senators and congressperson know this must never happen.
The Trump administration is trying to bulldoze us over with such force that we give up.
Don't let that happen.
If the news is overwhelming, pick just one thing that matters to you, stay on top of it, and call your senators and congressperson about that. And keep calling.
Simplify.

- ICE has taken another student and transported her across state lines in direct violation of court orders.
Rumeysa Ozturk is a doctoral student at Tufts University, and again, no evidence that she has supported Hamas. The House and Senate need to stop ICE from illegally seizing people without valid charges.

- Now we've learned that Trump's top people have also left their contact information strewn about online, even some passwords. That's plenty of information for foreign governments to have already hacked their phones. Investigate. This is the US, these people must be removed from our government.

DER SPIEGEL · Hegseth, Waltz, Gabbard: Private Data and Passwords of Senior U.S. Security Officials Found Online
Today I called my senators and congressperson to say:
- We're not at war with Yemen, yet Hegseth bombed a civilian apartment complex, potentially killing dozens of innocent families in hopes of taking out one person that our administration doesn't like. I'm not fluent in international law, but that sounds like a blatant crime against humanity to me. Investigate and get everyone involved out.
