Last week, USAID closed its doors, 64 years after JFK cited "moral obligations as a wise leader and good neighbor in the interdependent community of free nations" in calling for the agency's creation. Frederic Frommer reports on the irony of the dismantling—lost to no one except those in power.

We are safer and more secure as a nation when we take care of others. When we realize we are all family. This administration is trying to kill the world. How do we fix it?

The key word is MORAL. This administration is amoral. Hence, the demise of USAID.

And now they’re extorting the poorest countries for crucial natural resources – including minerals – in exchange for resuming humanitarian support. —- Lobbyists linked to Donald Trump paid millions by world’s poorest countries www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

American farmers are burning their crops and getting paid to destroy FOOD! With Canada now taking our place by providing food to the world the USA has a surplus of crops going to waste. This food could save countless lives in the USA as well as the world but Trump is a scumbag who DOESN’T CARE

💔🥺. Somber day. There is no choice, but to regroup, strengthen our resolve, organize, and defeat these soulless fascists. We can’t remain frozen in fear just watching the wealthy few destroy everything that is good in the world. Speak up, step out and protest with all our collective might.

Can a professor or professors who knows the accomplishments of USAID submit a Nobel Peace prize nomination? I believe it's well deserved and on the plus side, blow up MAGA. I would do it, but it looks like you must be of a particular category. www.nobelprize.org/nomination/p...

The USA certainly no longer recognizes ANY moral obligation to anything. U see a sociopath the country has become sociopathic: no empathy, no conscience, no morals- just like the great orange one. M

Christians give themselves permission to murder by blaming others, true terrorist, they turn their backs on their children as church leaders rape and molest them enablers. what's to be expected? Trump found his fabric.
