It’s natural to feel scared or guilty or ashamed, that’s your soul telling you to stay alive and do the right thing. Trump and Musk are moving fast and life will get harder that’s a fact. However, through difficult and terrifying times the best in all of us can shine. Do what you can, don’t give up.

I was one of those warning how bad it would be and how Trump 2 would be much worse than anyone complacently assumed. But even I didn’t have ‘cancel all foreign aid, including to kids with HIV & malaria’ and also ‘let the world’s richest man get access to our private data’ on my 2025 bingo card.

One of my party facts is that according to polls, Americans believe foreign aid is about 25% of the federal budget and on average that it should be about 10%. The actual number is less than 1%. Foreign aid has long been a boogey man of the right, so it's not surprising they're vilifying it now.
