This is a choice point for humanity. Do we allow Felon 47 to have his way or stand in our power to unite against a coup? This is no longer about being right or wrong. It's an existential crisis. Everybody needs to play an active part at this point. We came here to do this! United we stand.
Sad thing is these humanitarian efforts don’t even provide the ‘huge purse’ on the scale Trump needs for his tax cuts. They’re mostly punitive ‘America First’ actions.
The other point is that keeping people healthy around the world only keeps the US more healthy. For example, keeping Ebola at bay only helps us in the long run. This is extremely shortsighted.
People often forget that the steady or reckless leadership of the American president can help or harm millions of men women and children not just here but all over the earth.
It is very simple. Trump, GOP, and the oligarchs do not want a competent and functioning federal government. They are only interested in power and wealth, and looting the country for their benefit.
I’m an atheist but trump truly is the anti-Christ!
Democrats, IMPEACHMENT NOW! How many laws does trump have to break BEFORE YOU DO SOMETHING, ANYTHING?!!!!!!!
Hey Ruth. Don't get me wrong, I think its heartbreaking too.
But I don't recall journalists praising all the good the the US is bringing to the world in the last few decades, just criticism of its action.
Sometimes you have to take things away to regain respect.
So glad you said this - thank you!
You’d think the selfish interests of our germaphobe-in-chief would want to keep a lid on diseases that could be brought to the US by asymptomatic people who travel here.
Even if we are able to reclaim some norms in 2-4 years, the American Century is over. We can no longer be trusted to have the center seat.
With apologies from those of us who spent time, money, and energy to keep this from happening, go on without us while we try to get our shit together, world.
Trump and his cohorts do not hesitate to steal from the poor and the sick. Their selfishness and greed overcomes any thoughts of compassion or pity.
Karma Will catch up one day.
15 months of US armed & funded genocide, across the middle east, psychological warfare & assault on rights of anyone who spoke out against it. A lost, 3 yr,US proxy war in Europe. Being never closer to WWar3, & now an insanely dystopian criminal cabal running 🇺🇸?
Friend? You've got to be kidding!
I was just about to write this. It is easier to break trust and relationships than to rebuild them. The damage will be long-lasting, and the US will lose its position as the world leader at all levels. China will fill the void.
I care about the people he is hurting, not the the NYT’s article! They didn’t care before the election!!! They did everything they could to get him elected!!!
Grifting thieves. "When they touch down, we'll blow the roof, they'll spend a month sifting through the rubble and by the time they figure out what went wrong—we'll be sitting on a beach... earning twenty percent." -Hans Gruber, Die Hard
We donate $1 to our local Dem Party for every lefty we see quote @nytimes.com here on BSky. The damage that outlet has done to the integrity of the U.S. through normalizing authoritarianism cannot be overstated.

This is very scary on so many levels. US has abdicated its position as a leader. Healthwise - viruses and other pathogens could be wrecking havoc soon enough. Human rights will be devastated all around, all so that Muskolini and Trump become richer. 1930 again...
We've all got to do our part in opposing this monstrous administration. Just sent this email to all my officeholders! Relentless🗣️Messaging is NEEDED NOW! #Boise
This is so cruel and there is no rational basis for freezing USAID. What’s more, it’s extremely wasteful as there are health saving medicines, etc. already in needy countries but no one can deliver them or pick them up! Another effed up rollout by🍊; no clarity, what are the exceptions?😢😢😢
So disturbing 💔
My congressional delegation already knows how I feel.
So I will keep my local and community and family and family-of-choice support efforts robust —
— and live to fight another day!
Since we are a member of NATO and we ARE being attacked by fascists, I would hope that NATO will meet and invoke Article 5 to help Americans defeat this criminally installed dictatorship. I hope they remember how their people 90 years ago did nothing to stop Hitler & what happened to THEIR people.
Looting the treasury is the single goal of the Trump Crime Family. It's the whole reason for their crypto scams, and their massive tax increases for all but the billionaire class.
It is heartbreaking. I’m disgusted hearing talking heads use phrases like, review of Federal bureaucracy regarding the brutally cruel cessation of USAID & the inevitable life & death consequences that’ll ensue. This’ll be one of the first coffers these bastards empty into their offshore accounts.
This is the Republican plan to get the freedom caucus to sign on to tax cuts.
They need cover to say the cuts are offset by a decrease in spending and by revenue generated by, you guessed it, TARIFFS
Where is Bush? PEPFAR was started under his administration to supply AIDS drugs around the world saving millions of lives. That has stopped now due to Trump. Come on Bush..speak out.
U2s frontman, Bono has also been hugely instrumental in PEPFAR. He had countless meetings with Condoleezza Rice and Bush pushing them for financial aid. What a travesty and stain on our country.

The pause in aid will kill the most vulnerable.

Heartbreaking to see a party that is so hopelessly allergic to looking ahead of the curve.
Except it’s NOT a movie it’s a z”real life horror show” and people throughout the World are being harmed!
What happened to America as the shining city on a hill?
Friend? You've got to be kidding!
but a majority of Americans voted to break the government & see what happens.

They need to go.
Most of the world does not understand how he was voted in, or why we're doing this
It's a Crime Against Humanity by Edolf
and a Genocide in Gaza
by Trump.
@intlcrimcourt.bsky.social must ACT !
Thinking this is about money is silly. They have so much they can't spend it.
They don't want PoC, queers, non-Christians, to EXIST. (Jews who think they're not in line are naive)
They want us eradicated.

How do we not get it!?!
