It's just the international version of cutting Medicaid and giving rich people huge tax cuts (not that the richest pay tax anyway, right?).

angelelli.bsky.social•3 days ago

How much was being spent on the 5800 contracts?

11. Screening program with the Mexican government to identify illicit drugs like fentanyl being smuggled at the US border.

matthewdownhour.bsky.social•3 days ago

Wait do you have the name of this program or how I could read more about it?

Standby for posturing about increases in drug trafficking. And no mention of this cut.

Thank you for posting these. It makes it all the more real. What can we do besides emailing and calling our politicians?

😡😡😡 These cuts to aid programs are tantamount to mass murder- add this to the list of Dumps crimes 😡

bskywatcher.bsky.social•3 days ago

@agawande.bsky.social Thank you for sharing this partial list of the contracts that were terminated. Was it ever explained to you why they are shutting down so many humanitarian programs? I can see that *may* be some non-life threatening programs within the USAID could be shutdown, but 90% ??!?

This angers me beyond words!
I lost this beautiful soul, in 2022, do accidental fentanyl poisoning. She was 30 years old…and was a very bright light in this world.
My heart aches for her every damn day. 😢
Goddamit

You’re welcome. So sad. I’m sorry

nerdymushroom.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Well well well. It isnt a surprise that they're hypocrites but this is one that we may be able to rub their racist voters faces in. If they care about drugs why did they eliminate actual prevention of drugs? (I know why. But maybe some of their voters can be shamed with this thought.)

MAGA have been shouting about fentanyl coming across the border. I guess it's okay with them now to get rid of detection devices.

THIS ONE needs to be publicized until even the most hardcore maga start to see the truth.

laurelmildred.bsky.social•4 days ago

Could you point to (or write?) an explainer on the state of play? I was outraged, then relieved by a court ruling, then worried it wasn’t complied with, then another court upheld firing of all staff, then contracts cancelled (so even if funding resumes, programs torched?) WTF is actually happening?

laurelmildred.bsky.social•4 days ago

Did read What We Know in Better World Campaign piece but not understanding the court orders (Justice Roberts involved last night?) or the court upholding of staff dismissals or what the freaking advocacy target is to address this humanitarian disaster.

jane-lindamood.bsky.social•4 days ago

Ok, or that consistency of any sort has been a hallmark of anything said or done by the orange shitgibbon, but…???

voicesofliberation.bsky.social•3 hours ago

Isn't this their whole claim to fame with imposing tariffs? Why in the world would they get rid of this then??? 🤔 Oh wait...so they can dip their hands deeper in our pockets and make us suffer more by paying more because it's us, the people, who are going to feel it the most!

raflw.bsky.social•4 days ago

It's not a pause.
Had dinner last night with a high level NGO executive. USAID staff have now acknowledged there will be no new guidelines, no new grant rounds at the end of the 90 days.
