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!

Carr apparently convened remaining AID staff at the Ronald Reagan Building Tuesday morning at 9:30 a.m. to use shredding machines to get rid of classified records and personnel files, directly violating the Federal Records Act and the […]

"Ethiopia with its over 125 million people had been the biggest beneficiary of U.S. aid in sub-Saharan Africa, receiving $1.8 billion in the 2023 financial year. In addition to life-saving food, the funds were spent on HIV medications, vaccines, literacy programs and jobs creation, as well as services for 1 million refugees hosted by Ethiopia.

"Most of these programs have been stopped. The USAID staffers who oversaw them have been placed on administrative leave and told not to work, as they face the threat of termination. The U.S. Embassy didn’t respond to questions.

"More than two years after the war killed hundreds of thousands, full-scale recovery efforts are yet to start. The region’s health system is in ruins and hundreds of schools remain closed.

"Now the Trump administration’s dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID, has again halted food deliveries to a sprawling camp of over 20,000 people outside Tigray’s regional capital, Mekele.

"'We will just die in silence,' said Tsege, one of the 2.4 million people in Tigray who depend on humanitarian grain, most of it provided by the U.S."

"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.”

There's talk of DOGE here, but none about the destruction of information about the US government's funding of #destabilization ops, including perhaps details of the agency funding contractors sending Kosovo KLA mercenaries to Haiti, as reported by Black Agenda Report a few days ago.
