Hundreds of USAID workers who had been fired or placed on leave returned to their offices on Thursday to retrieve personal belongings. They were given just 15 minutes each to clear out their old desks.

15 minutes? 15 DAMN MINUTES?? Some people have been there a long time, and they have a lot to pack -- which they shouldn't have to do, since they shouldn't have been let go in the first place. No time to say goodbye to friends or even go to the bathroom.
I wish the WORST for inhumane Trump and Musk.
The party of "faith" cheer and brag while devoted, kind aid workers lose their jobs, and the poor, sick recipients are left to die.
There are many wicked people disguised as religious supporting the orange king.
So when Trump lied about Biden stealing the election, his followers stormed the Capitol. I'm not calling for storming anything, or harming people, but why wouldn't we engage in peaceful demonstration right in front of the White House, or by boycotting any and all businesses who support him.
When ashli babbitt was shot dead, it halted the j6 riots advance long enough to get people to safety. It was the correct thing to do. Violence is sometimes quite necessary, especially against those intent on doing violence to you.
“Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.
He is not a good man who, without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with the means which he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the subject.”
Musk hates poor and brown people—USAID handles the distribution of food and medicine, as well as disaster relief, disease monitoring, development work, and pro-democracy and civil society programs.
Disgraceful. Not just for the workers but for the good work they do around the globe. Which also seeds good will to the United States. ISIS and China is ready to pick up the slack. Get ready for the indoctrination.
My heart goes out to these folks. Many of us have been there through no fault of our own. You hear the words”it’s nothing personal” but it’s very personal!
There are no words for how I feel about what 💩47💩, EM, Miller, Vought…are doing to us. Besides threatening our constitution and government, they fail to appreciate the service of our federal workers, prioritize excellence in our institutions, or care about our humanitarian role in the world.💔
NO!!! There is very very little that is normal about this administration. If there still is anything or anyone normal, they will be cancelled or fired very shortly!!!
Can we be a great country without there being any help or compassion between citizens to help those who lose their jobs or are sick in order to avoid falling into great misery following accidents of life?
Trump voters and non voters will join us in losing sleep very soon.
Is there nothing our institutions can do to prevent Musk from taking over the United States of America? At this rate, we're not going to make it to a fair election in 26.
So here's the thing. Even if we need to trim the federal workforce, and even if we are using a scalpel to be sure that those let go are either in jobs we don't need or are not doing a good job, we don't need to treat people as if they are criminals or corporate spies. So disrespectful.
15 minutes. That’s absolutely disgusting and intentionally traumatic. Who in their right mind could support government acting in this way. Trauma pain and fear is the way they do business. It’s meant to be chilling.
Meantime, @nytimes.com reporter Astead Herndon continues to bash Dems as Trump and GOP break laws and pillage our government while planes crash around us
But what the fuck did you Americans from the North do, you elected Donald Trump president, but Elon Musk is in charge, fix this shit and ask for Donald Trump's impeachment.
Trump and Elon are using a wrecking ball to destroy our country. I really struggle to see any other reason for it other than the fact they are doing it at Putin's behest
These people are the real heroes of America for helping people in need around the world. One should not mention them in the same breath as the treasonous thugs from Jan 6th or the lying cheats in the current regime.
The #ConvictedFelonTrump is a coward destroying American government agencies responsible for protecting Americans from criminals like himself. He sold his presidency to a demented corrupt Elon Musk that doesn’t give a damn to this country.

Republicans are doing everything they can to ensure democracy is destroyed while Democrats are trying to save us.
Better vote for a white delusional fascist than a woman of color.

To them I say: Enjoy, and don’t even think about claiming unemployment benefits.
