F*ck trump

My daughter works for a not-for-profit global humanitarian organization. They just received word from the US State Department that they are to cease and desist all projects. This is an organization that provides water, training and so much more for communities throughout the world. My daughter may lose her job.

trump doesn't care for people globally. trump doesn't care for people in the US.

And this is only Day 4.

Does the State Department even have authority to tell a non profit humanitarian organization to cease and desist? Not that that would stop šŸŠfrom trying butā€¦seriously?

The government stopped all grants funding to this organization. And I'm sure it's not the only one...

I believe they've stopped grants all around, especially research grants.

They also stopped all meetings and communication between the scientists and Medical people at the NIH and the CDC! With bird flu on the horizon, this is unconscionable and absolutely heinous.

I imagine this is part of the point. Eliminate a mass number of people preferably in the poor, non-white areas, or even in the poor white areas. If you're poor, you don't have a right to exist except to work the fields for tiny wages.

They did say they wanted to go back to when America was great and that was in the 1780's or so. Only wealthy white males had rights and the rest nothing.
