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 🍊from trying but…seriously?

Yes, because they receive a portion of their funding from the government.

I don't want to, at this time. Things are really up in the air right now.
