"Musk says that no one has died bc he slashed #humanitarianaid. I went to Sudan, & within an hour, I'd the names of 2 children who'd died bc of decisions by wealth-.”
-N Kristof

These innocents are just 2 of the millions who'll suffer & likely die💔from #TrumpMusk's dismantling of #USAID.

This American "beacon on the hill" agency was a soft target for them. Their destructive path toward #privatization is pure evil.

Text discussing misconceptions about the US government's foreign aid spending, including statistics on perceived versus actual budget allocation, the role of NGOs, and the impact of American assistance on global issues like hunger and disease. It also mentions public support for freezing foreign assistance…
A mom & her baby who’ll be malevolently affected by the USAID withdrawal. They’re positioned against a tree in a natural setting, conveying a sense of caregiving and connection.

#USAID IG: $500M in food aid at risk of spoilage from Trump-Musk cuts. Fmr USAID official: likely targeted at places suffering “active famine” “major food emergencies.”

This is wanton #cruelty: total abdication of responsibility to the global poor.

Pope Francis' rebuke of Vance/Trumpism lays bare an essential truth: Trump-Musk: overseeing a massive & systematic🚨abandonment of obligation to the global poor.

T/M/V/MAGA: UNCHRISTIANLIKE & #RACIST.

“I urge @SecRubio to distribute the $340M in American-grown food currently stalled in US ports to reach those in need.

Time is running out before this life-saving aid perishes.”
-Sen Moran 2/3/25

He cares about the farmers, foremost, but, thankfully, it appears that the aid is on its way. Although, I can’t find any posts or articles on the shipments, other than Moran’s post today.

Tweet from Senator Jerry Moran announcing the resumption of shipping for $560 million in American-grown food aid, enabling NGOs to distribute it to those in need. Acknowledges assistance from @SecRubio in this effort.

"Franklin Graham runs a charity called Samaritan’s Purse, which gets $90 million from USAID. Graham says that he has gotten an exemption from the Trump administration for his ministry to keep getting its USAID money.

But Catholic Relief Services was not so lucky. They’ve already started laying off employees and shutting down relief programs."

"Be clear about what Trump and Musk’s aid axe will do: people will face terror and starve, many will die. ...

We all gain if USAid can mitigate the spread of infectious diseases, prevent malnutrition in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Sudan, halt the upsurge of IS in Syria and support a fair, humanitarian reconstruction of Gaza and Ukraine."

Holly Berkley Fletcher writes about seeing the value of USAID when she was 9 years old living in Kenya with her US missionary parents, and a drought caused hunger in Africa. She then concludes,

"The overnight shuttering of the world's largest source of aid--by far--is irresponsible, inhumane, against US national interests, and just plain asinine."

"The richest man in the world has gleefully, callously announced his (illegal) efforts to put the foreign assistance program USAID 'in the wood chipper,' insisting it must 'die.'

So what if it means that he’s increasing starvation, the spread of disease and death throughout the developing world for millions of humans?"

"In addition to the humanitarian disaster that’s unfolding because of the closure, and the geopolitical fallout as China generously (with some strings attached) offers to replace American assistance to fill the vacuum, the attack on USAID will also make it much harder for the developing world to reach its climate goals."
