Maybe your newspaper could report clearly and honestly on what is happening, Peter. Call the fucking coup a coup already. Your newspaper is a goddamned embarrassment.

USAID played a role in ending apartheid through funding civil organizations, education programs, and economic initiatives empowering Black South Africans

In addition to internal resistance, USAID’s role helped empower marginalized communities in the transition to democracy.

Coincidence I'm sure.

Wow that sounds like the type of thing that should be front page headlines in a newspaper.
You probably don't know anyone in that industry though.

How much does a guillotine cost?

Sick. I hate that little piss ant.

And you my dear man are still working for the NYTs?

Did you see this:

When will the average American realize that their enemy is not trans people, or immigrants, or government employees. It's the billionaires who have stolen trillions from workers since Reagan and trickle down economics?

pecatonicaqueen.bsky.social•114 days ago

BTW, what are your pronouns? I heard your employer does not respect their past interns’ so do they honor their current employees’ preferred pronouns? You all are a joke!

pecatonicaqueen.bsky.social•114 days ago

Funny, did you talk to some Red hat in Idaho about this before you put this out?

mattmillburn.bsky.social•114 days ago

Imagine the good he could do if he were a good guy.

tombellino.bsky.social•113 days ago

You getting a cut? Probably not. You helped him for free. How audacious!

shieldmaiden7.bsky.social•114 days ago

He could be the hero of the world, but, instead, wants to be a petty, weak, little, pissant of a Nazi.

mfelps.bsky.social•113 days ago

Good job. Your work has really helped.

sid-eschenbach.bsky.social•114 days ago

Seems right.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

^*USAID uses American made products

lakebiglake.bsky.social•114 days ago

Where does he make all these billions? Car manufacturing is a good business, but General Motors isn’t raking it in at that rate despite 10 times as many units sold. X certainly isn’t making money.

autismdrawscanada.bsky.social•113 days ago

Elon hates USAID because they help black people in Africa

nottollhouse.bsky.social•114 days ago

PUT IT IN THE DAMNED PAPER OF RECORD. Front page. Cover the coup. Shouldn't you all *live* for this stuff?

judinthepines.bsky.social•114 days ago

And aren't you just pleased as punch. You helped this to happen. China will fill the void the US leaves behind. And we will deserve to be marginalized.

mountainmama60.bsky.social•114 days ago

It’s TIME. TIME to organize. TIME TO MARCH! Message me if you’re interested.

grimmreality.bsky.social•113 days ago

Probably shouldn't have helped him end the republic then, huh?

rkdoctr.bsky.social•114 days ago

USAID budget is less than half of one percent of the federal budget.

springtomind.bsky.social•114 days ago

Disgusting!

arkancrow.bsky.social•114 days ago

And how much of it is from government contracts and subsidies ?

We have no fucking idea.

Transparency is for the others.

mvonehr.bsky.social•114 days ago

Do you think elon could share some of his wealth?

kimberlybos.bsky.social•114 days ago

And we have a coup underway by the richest man in the world

h-b-w.bsky.social•114 days ago

The word ‘society’ can no longer be used to describe America.

gartmartin9.bsky.social•114 days ago

You should change your name to Marshal Petain Baker--given that your refuse to use the words, illegal, unlawful or unconstitutional when writing about Trump governing by degree and Musk staging a coup (your colleagues did an endless tick tock about it, without even asking if any of this is legal)

mrlingonberry.bsky.social•114 days ago

Time to destroy Elon

mintyone.bsky.social•114 days ago

Its because they supported ending apartheid. Because Mandela got freed. Because this loser.

andremchi.bsky.social•114 days ago

Definitely not apples to apples!

mkrebs.bsky.social•113 days ago

How about the net worth of Sulzberger and Kahn?

mkrebs.bsky.social•113 days ago

No one could have predicted, eh Peter?

hengleka.bsky.social•114 days ago

@peterbakernyt maybe it is me... I've followed your work for many years and respect your work, but you seem to be a bit more direct, a bit more clear and a bit less equivocal. I appreciate that and it restores some of my faith in NYT.

lisimons.bsky.social•113 days ago

Arrrrgh

The MAGA sheep walking blind to the slaughter house.

trumpforthewin2024.bsky.social•114 days ago

You are misguided my friend. This is how USAID was operating, not “food and shelter”

trythisagain.bsky.social•114 days ago

1st time out of house in a while and I meet someone who lost their job working to resettle refugees due to USAID shutdown. F’ing a-holes!

masontransport.bsky.social•114 days ago

Is there a source for this?

famj.bsky.social•114 days ago

Well, yeah, but he "deserves it" because he's hard working and white, and they're poor and POC. Don't know if misogyny plays a role too, but wouldn't doubt it.

nobodyspecial3.bsky.social•113 days ago

Hard working?

Have you seen the rate at which he tweets? MFer can't possibly do any work, ever.

psgoddard.bsky.social•114 days ago

That doesn't include how much Musk may have been compensated by China to get America out of Africa.

szkaplan.bsky.social•114 days ago

No amount of money will satisfy Elon. He’ll never have enough to buy a soul.

whoszoomingwho.bsky.social•114 days ago

He will never be happy while other people are happy. He could never spend all that money. He’s evil

winegardar.bsky.social•114 days ago

I called my Representative office of GA 14th district to ask if the 600 trucks of USAID FOOD has gone through the gates of GAZA, or
If the Presidents
REVENGE AGENDA
includes STARVING
THE CHILDREN OF GAZA. She has not replied.
