@amtrak.com so why not have some basic customer service and inform us what the status is of empire 243 which will clearly be boarding and leaving late. So tiresome to not be treated with a basic level of respect

FORSAKEN Forsaken is a living archive of interviews with the witnesses to the Trump administration’s ongoing disruption of the global AIDS response.

It has now been one year since President Trump shut down all U.S. foreign aid and began wrecking the global AIDS response. I have spent that year collecting testimonies from the communities most affected by these cuts: www.forsaken.life

And what are they learning? Experts on the formation of internal security services in authoritarian regimes point to a sense of impunity as a warning sign. Regime officials abuse their power when they know they will be protected, and even praised, for doing so.

Over the course of weeks and months, we have seen images of DHS officials abusing American citizens and immigrants alike, including killing them. What we do not hear is regime officials calling for credible investigations into such abuses, or even expressing any concerns. Renee Good’s killer was announced innocent, and both Good and her wife was instead the subject of an investigation, a perversion of justice so obvious that an FBI agent and half-dozen career Department of Justice prosecutors assigned to Minnesota resigned.

What we are watching is a paramilitary force learning that they can kill with impunity, that the regime will smear the victim and defend them. Unless politicians and the legal system exerts accountability, it will not stop. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/past-the-b...

This is so damning - ICE tried to prevent local police from gathering evidence at a murder scene. ICE executed an unarmed civilian being beaten on the ground, in broad daylight, at point blank range, on camera, and is already trying to prevent an investigation of their murder.

New Yorker: The Shutdown of USAID Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands

It's hard to convey my disgust & moral outrage at Trump & Rubio for killing hundreds of thousands

My team at Duke has spent almost a decade studying the pros & cons of health aid, which has undoubtedly saved millions of live but has down sides. We have a policy paper out soon on the topic.

My Last Day as an Accomplice of the Republican Party Why I’m leaving the GOP and why I’m urging my former colleagues to do the same.

A GOP operative's message to colleagues:
"Today, I quit allowing my complacency to destroy America, and I urge you to quit, too."
We will not beat Trump and Trumpism until millions of additional Republicans come to the same conclusion.
