After the mayor of Newark was arrested for protesting outside of a new immigration detention facility, a DHS official is threatening to arrest three members of Congress who were also present. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

After Jailing of Newark Mayor, DHS Official Warns of “More Arrests Coming”

This comes as the administration is also considering suspending habeas corpus. The message is loud and clear: There is no rule of law.

It's been 1 month since Trump announced a freeze on US foreign aid. In this @unaids.org article, @john-plastow.bsky.social voices deep concern about the sustainability of the #HIV response, especially for HIV prevention, key populations & human rights. Read here ⤵️ www.unaids.org/en/resources...

How the shift in US funding is threatening both the lives of people affected by HIV and the community groups supporting them

Countries will make all attempts possible to fill the gap, but does the US government realize how many lives of people living with #HIV, #TB and many others hang in the balance—without timely testing, treatment, or even the right information? #GlobalHealth www.tiktok.com/@cbsnews/vid...

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), which dispenses billions of dollars in worldwide aid every year, will be merged into the State Department, with a significant reduction in the wo...

USAID’s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency

“On Friday, February 7, 2025, at 11:59 pm (EST) all USAID direct hire personnel will be placed on administrative leave globally, with the exception of designated personnel responsible for mission-critical functions, core leadership and specially designated programs. Essential personnel expected to continue working will be informed by Agency leadership by Thursday, February 6, at 3:00pm (EST). For USAID personnel currently posted outside the United States, the Agency, in coordination with missions and the Department of State, is currently preparing a plan, in accordance with all applicable requirements and laws, under which the Agency would arrange and pay for return travel to the United States within 30 days and provide for the termination of PSC and ISC contracts that are not determined to be essential. The Agency will consider case-by-case exceptions and return travel extensions based on personal or family hardship, mobility or safety concerns, or other reasons. For example, the Agency will consider exceptions based on the timing of dependents’ school term, personal or familial medical needs, pregnancy, and other reasons. Further guidance on how to request an exception will be forthcoming. Thank you for your service”

My instinct is to make the case that USAID is extremely good, actually. But I feel like it’s more important to say, “What is happening is antagonistic to the foundational document of the nation.”
