JDPON Don dismantling USAID will unironically enable socialist revolutions to start popping up throughout the global south. I’m not sure where or how, but I fully expect at least one to happen in a South American, African, South Asian, or Pacific Island nation within the next five years.

Any socialist movement in the global south: There has never been a better time than today. America isn’t paying attention anymore. Do it!

"This chart below is misinformation caused by Semafor misreading its original source.

USAID was 40% of total aid going to Somalia, not 40% of Somali GDP. In reality, USAID spending was closer to 3% of Somali GDP."
-J Politano

This isn't just #disinformation by Trump's enablers (on X, posted by W Chamberlain of the Article 3 Project) -it's discrediting & lying about #USAID. Before USAID was dismantled, the agency provided life-saving aid around the world.

“On Tuesday, remaining staffers at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) received an email under the name of acting executive secretary Erica Carr at USAID telling them to shred or burn agency records, despite strict laws about the preservation of federal documents.”

The admin on Mon gave USAID staffers abroad until Apr 6 to move back to the US if they want to do so on the govt’s tab.

"Here’s the big question: As Trump takes the wrecking ball to the old version of American foreign policy, what does he intend to construct in its place? His career shows little evidence of strategic thinking."

"In a span of only 50 days, President Trump has done more than any of his modern predecessors to hollow out the foundations of an international system that the United States painstakingly erected in the 80 years since it emerged victorious from World War II. …

But perhaps the more remarkable thing is that Mr. Trump is eroding the old order without ever describing the system he envisions replacing it with."

US Dist. Judge Amir Ali, overseeing a lawsuit against the Trump admin over its decision to suspend foreign assistance, ordered the govt on Mon to pay nearly $2B in outstanding aid to its humanitarian partners worldwide.

He rose to national prominence in Feb when he blocked Trump’s 90-day funding freeze, becoming one of several fed judges to strike down one of Trump’s EOs.

The SC ordered the Trump admin to comply with Ali’s ruling.

Will the admin comply?

"Toddlers have a very high risk of dying💔."

The St Dept was supposed to issue waivers to programs deemed life-saving in order for them to continue their work, but the Trump admin’s implementation of the funding freeze/arbitrary selection of programs to CXL have left program WKRs in unfathomable situations: NGOs: owed Ms for work already completed, forcing some to lay off employees.

H & I NGO: US govt currently owes $19M for svcs cmpl in 2024.
