Musk’s Purges Suddenly Take a Horrific Turn—and Wreck an Ugly MAGA Lie

We can now be depressingly confident that their mass cuts are killing people.

"RUTF is widely hailed as an extraordinary innovation in feeding #children facing #starvation & #death.

...the cancellation of Mana’s latest contracts will mean that around 300,000 #kids... don’t get aid packets that #Congress intended for them. But we, too, are the losers"

Text from article: The details of the canceled Mana contracts illustrate the point. RUTF, the sweet nutritional peanut paste that Mana manufactures, is safe for ingestion by children who are suffering acute nutritional deprivation or are on the verge of starving to death. It comes in foil packets that don’t need refrigeration, making it easy to distribute in regions suffering extreme deprivation. RUTF is widely hailed as an extraordinary innovation in feeding children facing starvation and death. According to Moore, the cancellation of Mana’s latest contracts will mean that around 300,000 kids, mostly in Africa, don’t get aid packets that Congress intended for them. But we, too, are the losers: This paste is manufactured by American workers, and made of peanuts and dairy grown by American farmers, in a spreading of American bounty and goodwill that has long had bipartisan support. Now it’s piled up in a warehouse in Savannah, unshipped and uneaten. All of this lays waste to the spin that Trumpworld has employed to defend the dismantling of USAID. For instance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has claimed all along that “lifesaving humanitarian assistance” will be spared. By any reasonable standard, many of the contracts that have just been canceled qualify as just that.

#Infrastructure in British #India:
"Natural drainage of Bengal was disturbed due to construction of a network of #railway embankments resulting in formation of poorly drained “compartments” in different areas of Bengal. This led to excessive silting, damaged crop production, increased chance of flooding and created stagnant water pockets that were apt for water-borne diseases like cholera and malaria."

'Royal' Mail may (will) cut deliveries for 2nd class post.

I see it now, this is Beeching for 2025. Capacity will go, the equivalent of feeder lines will wither and we will be left with nothing - a Tory and Lib Dem dream, enabled by Labour. I am sure the new owner will have asset stripped before the final closure.

I can’t stop crying. They murdered him. Because he was saving children from starving, the Israelis murdered him and laid down sniper fire to keep anyone from saving him. I have never hated anything as much as I hate what Israel has become. They are the Nazis of the 21st century.

"The number [of trucks] began to rise after 2010 when [...] the Gaza Freedom Flotilla [...] sailed for Gaza in an attempt to break the Israeli siege. Israeli soldiers raided the ships and killed nine people, causing international outrage and significant political pressure to lift the blockade [...]

It is for this reason that I cannot be easily convinced that the international community simply cannot influence or pressure Israel."

WANTED BENJAMIN NETANYAHU
International Criminal Court issues arrest warrant for Israel's prime minister 'for the use of starvation as a method of warfare & crimes against humanity of murder, persecution & inhumane acts'.

It’s definitely about time. I’d say a year in, it’s too late for the countless & innocent people who have died.
