Is the State Dept's response Hurricane Melissa a resounding endorsement of a "new paradigm" for aid? Not remotely. Rubio is quietly mimicking USAID's work while loudly claiming victory for passing the lowest of bars. Read on. 🧵

600,000 deaths already estimated. The incoherence of a total unexpected shutdown was evil. Trump is not anointed of God- careless, easy cruelty to children is inspired by another master.

I can barely get through this interview, it’s gut-wrenching. Each time Dr. Mo speaks on Gaza, it’s like another part of my soul breaks. Israel has permanently scarred what it means to be human. Thanks @ryangrim

ā€œWe want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected. When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work because they are increasingly viewed as the villains.ā€ Russell Vought, now Trump’s designated director of the Office of Management and Budget

« While he had a 30-year background in [x], he had no experience in [the field in Trump’s cabinet.]Ā» Do not fear. The way is clear- 1) obey and 2) burn it down. Loyalty to the Anointed is all God asks of us. His ways are not our ways. Do not doubt, do not tarry.

Rivals industrial farming in its ecological destruction, and the hidden abuse of lives, resources, and societal attentions. And it’s growing. Free markets in these forms can also be a great way to enslave, and destroy a nation’s social and resource capital.

RIP Morgan! He struck a great blow in the fight against animal torture by teaching millions of viewers how toxic meat and other BS of the food industrial complex ruin our health. An ā€œEverything is Connectedā€ lesson that soaked in for so many. via @NYTimes

Marketing is consuming our culture to the point that the product seems almost irrelevant to its own success.

via @NYTOpinion Simplistic, generalized with a trowel, straw or murmuranonymous bad guys, and repetitive. My worst helpful info-to-vital subject ratio read of the year. So important and easy in specific ways, too. Missed opportunity.

Attacking markets and mosques- retaliatory war crimes. Now no power/food/water can enter Gaza- almost half of the population is children. ā€œHamas and Israel’s crimes against civilians…come after years of impunity for Israel’s crimes against Palestinians.ā€

Years of impunity for Israeli crimes against civilians have bred a culture of disregard for international law.
