Seal of the US embassy in juba south Sudan

Among the more inhumane things Trump/Musk have done this week, DOGE cut off food, water, & fuel to the US embassy in South Sudan. They are living on what power the generator can provide. The country has no potable water & there's a cholera outbreak in the country.
These Americans are in real danger.

‘Cruel and thoughtless’: Trump fires hundreds at US climate agency Noaa Employees received emails saying their jobs would be cut off at end of day in move called ‘wrong all around’

The firing of scientists and other employees at NOAA is designed to target research and reporting on Climate Change, by the Fossil Fuel Party. It's going to have much farther reaching ramifications.
Like the firings at the FAA, we are less safe and people are going to die because of it. 🖕Republicans

White House crowd chants ‘four more years’ after Trump asks if he should run again President Trump on Thursday again raised the idea of his seeking a third term, which is prohibited by the Constitution, this time drawing loud approval from supporters at a Black History Month event.

Imagine if this was Obama, Clinton, or literally any Democrat. The right would be furious. But I have friends whose parents are cheering and talking about how he’ll be king. 🤦🏼‍♀️ ground.news/article/trum...
